About us

Specialists in the energy transition

M&T Associates is a permanent recruitment firm focused entirely on renewable energy. We combine more than two decades of energy engineering recruitment with fifteen years inside the technology industry.

We work with a deliberately narrow set of disciplines so we can screen candidates on what matters: the projects they have delivered, the systems they know and the voltages they have worked at.

The founders

Founder · Energy Engineering Search

Mahmood Mahmood

20+ years in recruitment

“The right engineer is the one who has already built it.”

Mahmood has spent more than two decades doing one thing well: finding the engineers who get energy projects built. He knows the difference between someone who has energised a substation and someone who has only read about it, and he screens for it on every search.

He takes on the hard-to-fill technical roles across solar, wind, battery storage and grid, and gives candidates a straight account of the project, the team and the package before anything moves.

Thomas McGuinness

Executive headhunter

“The best leaders aren’t applying. You have to go and find them.”

Tom is an executive headhunter who spent 15 years inside the technology industry before moving into search. He knows how leadership teams make hiring decisions, what they actually look for, and where shortlists usually fall short.

He leads M&T’s senior and executive appointments, approaching proven leaders who aren’t on the market and running confidential searches from first conversation to signed offer.
