Our Sectors

​​Astute’s Power division is widely regarded as the industry leader in the sector with over a decade’s experience of connecting the right people with the right business.

As demand for power continues to increase, so does the need to replace traditional fossil-fuelled power plants with sustainable, renewable solutions. With companies bringing new and innovative technologies to the market place, the demand for experienced staff has increased.

Waste management is an essential requirement, demanding innovative strategies and modern technologies to help protect the environment, reduce carbon emissions and safeguard the health of future generations.

As a veteran owned company, Astute is pleased to now offer our best in class engineering recruitment service to the UK Defence sector across all 3 domains of Land, Sea, and Air.

With the Government's strategy for the construction sector set out in Construction 2025, it's a key area of focus for our specialist team at Astute. ​ Our experience and knowledge within the energy industry mean we are perfectly placed to provide solutions in construction projects across multiple industries. These include Power Generation, Waste, Residential, Nuclear, Water and Anaerobic Digestion.

UK Manufacturing is thriving, directly employing 2.6 million people as the world's eighth largest industrial nation.

Nuclear energy is key to the UK achieving its clean, low carbon energy goals, helping to tackle the growing threat of global warming. Statistics in the Nuclear Industry Association (NIA) show that 155,000 jobs are directly or indirectly supported by the industry. However - with a skilled but ageing workforce, there is a huge skills gap which needs to be bridged. And with the development of a new generation of nuclear power plants, the number of jobs available to the industry is set to increase significantly.

Astute’s Water division comprises a team of experienced consultants with a genuine passion for the sector. Their challenge is to keep abreast of the latest technologies and projects as the water treatment industry develops. Our work in this sector is diverse, from working with some of the biggest water utilities, through to their sub-contractors and SME's involved in day to day projects. We partner with companies who are involved in clean water and waste water treatment, sewage treatment, anaerobic digestion and many more technologies.
