Problem

Lucion Group required a Head of Air Quality to lead and expand an existing capability within its environmental practice. The role demanded a senior leader with strong consulting experience, technical credibility in air quality, and a clear understanding of planning frameworks and regulatory processes. The challenge lay in engaging high-performing individuals who were already established and successful within leading consultancies.

Solution

JP Search conducted a targeted, network-led search across the environmental consulting market, focusing on experienced air and acoustic quality leaders with the ability to combine technical expertise with commercial and leadership capability. The approach prioritised discreet engagement and careful positioning to attract candidates who would not typically be active in the market.

Outcome

A high-quality, engaged shortlist was delivered within a compressed timeframe, resulting in a successful appointment within four weeks. The hire provided Lucion Group with the leadership required to strengthen and scale its air quality offering.

“This was a highly targeted search within a niche and competitive market. By leveraging our established network and taking a considered, discreet approach, we were able to engage individuals who would not ordinarily be available and secure a leader capable of driving the practice forward.”
