Tony acted as a recruiting agent for me, helping me to secure my first opportunity as an independent contractor. Tony was professional and helpful throughout the recruitment process and was an invaluable source of advice and assistance. Following my securing of a contract Tony continued to offer help and support on an ongoing basis. I have always found him to be friendly, helpful, and reliable and am happy to recommend him to anyone seeking a change of roles on a permanent or contract basis. A brilliant recruitment professional.

Director - Environment Consultancy

Chris' expertise and insight into the highly demanding recruitment market on post-COVID has helped us to secure the required contracting staff for the project.   

Director - Offshore Wind Commissioning

Tony assisted me greatly in securing a new senior role, providing excellent communication throughout the recruitment process and being very proactive throughout, helping me achieve the position / package I required.

 

Contract Manager

Chris successfully managed the hiring phase with my new company and went through the various challenges in a pragmatic and highly professional way.

EPC Director

Tony was the driving force in enabling me to move back to the UK in a suitable role within the wind sector. He also gave great advice and support during the recruitment process and my company start up. I would have no hesitations in recommending Tony as a diligent and professional recruiter.

Head of Offshore

Top quality relationship management backed up by a very efficient process and he would definitely be my agency manager of choice going forward.

Senior Procurement Manager

I like working with Chris and Kinekta. Their experience, attention to client needs and flexibility have been really appreciated. Looking forward for more collaboration.

Solar Engineering Manager

Ralph Coates was incredible to work with during my job search. He quickly set up interviews, gave me everything I needed to prepare, and even checked in before and after to make sure I felt confident. What stood out most was how he stayed in constant contact with both me and the company, keeping me updated every step of the way. I’ve never experienced that level of dedication before, and I’d recommend Ralph and Kinekta to anyone who wants real support in landing the right job.

AVP of Development

I really appreciated the way Ralph guided me through the opportunity. He set clear expectations at each stage, and their support gave me a good uplift throughout the interview process. His professionalism and open communication made the experience smooth and positive from start to finish.

Luca supported me through the recruitment process for a 5-month contract Senior Geophysicist role with RWE, and the experience was very positive from start to finish. Communication was clear and consistent throughout, and he was always available to help when needed. I also appreciated his support in working through the contract conditions and making sure everything was clear and properly aligned before starting. Overall, Luca was professional, reliable, and easy to deal with — I’d be happy to work with him again in the future.

Offshore Client Representative / Senior Geophysicist

Working with Ralph has been such a pleasure. I found myself looking for work at a particularly difficult time when every opening was swarmed with hundreds if not thousands of applications. Ralph had an inside track on a job not yet posted, and helped devise an approach that gave me a competitive advantage and ultimately landed me the role. I suspect I’d still be looking if not for Ralph. Incredibly grateful to have met him. Highest recommendation.

Director of Technical Asset Management


Ralph Coates provided me with relentless support during a difficult career transition period. He understands the power and infrastructure industry like a veteran, and he intuitively understood my skillset and how to leverage my strengths in the market. He has a broad range of connections within the renewables and data center space, which materialized in several great interviews. His attention to detail is superb, and he always prepared me before each interview and followed up immediately afterwards. When the full-time positions were not materializing, he helped me pivot to contract opportunities. He assisted me in kick-starting one contract and is now continuing to find additional contract work which might lead to full time positions.

Chief Development Officer

My experience with Ralph was extremely positive. He was professional, attentive, responsive, and made the process feel smooth and straightforward. I truly appreciated his clear communication and support he provided throughout the course of the hiring process. I highly recommend working with Ralph Coates at Kinekta.
