Energy Career Specialists is a subsidiary of Electrical Career Specialists.

Our companies:

Electrical Career Specialists (founded 2005)

Energy Career Specialists (founded 2009)

Both founded by Wayne John, an industry professional who spent years in sales and management at the distributor and manufacturer levels before moving into recruiting. Wayne saw a glaring need in the hiring space: there simply weren’t recruiters who understood the electrical and energy industries well enough to speak the language, grasp the complexities, or recognize the nuances that make a candidate truly qualified. ECS was created to fill that void—becoming the go-to search partner for organizations across the electrical and energy supply chains.

We don’t dabble in electrical and energy, we live and breathe it. Whether you’re a candidate looking to grow your career or a company looking to make a key hire, ECS brings a unique insider’s perspective to every search. We understand how distribution, sales, engineering, operations, and leadership all connect, because we’ve been there.

Integrity and confidentiality have always been at the core of our business. We take pride in building long-term relationships rooted in trust and transparency. Our reputation has been built over 20+ years by treating every client and candidate with the respect they deserve—regardless of title, location, or company size.

Our reach spans the entire industry:
• Energy & Electrical Distributors
• Energy & Electrical Manufacturers
• Manufacturer’s Representatives
• Apparatus & Equipment Resellers

We’re proud to have placed professionals at many of the most recognized names in the business.

ECS actively engages with leading industry organizations, including NAED, NEMRA, NECA, and IEEE – giving us a front-row seat to the latest trends in hiring, mergers and acquisitions, supply chain shifts, and evolving leadership needs.

We were at multiple industry trade shows in 2025: RE+ in Las Vegas, September 7-10, 2025 & National Energy Contractors Association (NECA) in Chicago September 13-15, 2025.

At ECS, we do more than fill jobs—we help shape careers and support the continued growth of the energy industry.
