The engineers who run
the plant — found, vetted, placed.
Specialist recruitment for power, automation and IT/OT, led by engineers who've commissioned the systems — so every shortlist is one you can defend at board level.
TVP · Live Pipeline
You asked for direction.
Here it is.
We've interviewed 200+ automation engineers this year. The #1 thing holding them back was never skill — it was that nobody tells you where the path actually goes. So we built it.

The TVP Talent Universe
India's next-generation talent infrastructure for Industry 4.0, smart grid, OT cybersecurity, and IT/OT.
India is deploying Industry 4.0, grid modernisation, and process automation faster than the engineering workforce can specialise to run it. The country has long produced exceptional engineering talent — what it lacks is clarity, direction, and a network that maps it to the work. That's what we're building.
Industry 4.0
MES, IT/OT convergence, smart-factory engineering.
Smart Grid
Substation automation, EMS, BESS, grid protection.
OT Cybersecurity
Securing the IT/OT boundary as plants connect.
Industrial Automation
PLC, SCADA, DCS — the control core.
The Talent Universe is a continuously mapped, actively engaged network of automation and energy engineers. Join once — when a mandate matches your skills and where you want to work, we already know your name. Built from within, for the engineers who'll run what India is building.
The talent isn't keeping pace with the build-out.
India is deploying Industry 4.0, grid modernisation, and process automation faster than the engineering workforce can specialise to run it. The gap is not a shortage of engineers — it's a shortage of engineers who can be trusted on a live commissioning floor.
of Indian employers can't fill skilled roles — well above the global average, with Energy among the hardest-hit sectors.
ManpowerGroup Talent Shortage Survey, 2025A wrong technical hire costs 30%+ of first-year salary at minimum — and 50–200% once lost productivity, slipped timelines, and re-hiring are counted.
U.S. Dept. of Labor; SHRMMost recruiters can't tell a qualified control-systems engineer from a risky one — because they've never read a P&ID, tuned a loop, or sat through a SAT.
The gap we exist to closeWe close that gap. We map talent to your actual project requirements, not a job description — so every hire is a decision you can stand behind.
Three fields. One discipline: control.
Recruitment built around the engineering reality of each sector — not a generic talent funnel.
Energy & Power Automation
Substation automation, SCADA-based energy management, battery storage, and grid-level protection — from field instrumentation to control-room architecture across utilities, IPPs, and EPC contractors.
Industrial Automation
PLC, SCADA, and process-control hiring across system integrators, OEMs, and automation-machinery builders. Verticals: pharma, oil & gas, automotive, and discrete and process manufacturing.
Industry 4.0 & IT/OT Integration
MES integration, IT/OT convergence, and smart-factory engineering. As plants move from isolated legacy systems to connected operations, we source the talent that sits at the OT–digital intersection — and understands both sides.
Connecting skilled engineers with projects that demand precision.
Technical Hiring
Sourcing engineers for automation, power, and industrial sectors — from entry level to leadership, screened on the engineering reality of the role.
Technical Screening
Deep vetting on real commissioning and engineering scenarios — niche-tool depth, project-experience verification, and domain alignment. Reduces hiring delays and costly mismatches.
Project Staffing Support
Market intelligence on where talent sits, why it's scarce, and what it costs — across utilities, EPC timelines, and manufacturing project lifecycles.
Five steps. One standard: fit.
Only well-matched, technically screened profiles reach your desk.
Understand
We begin with your business, project scope, and the constraint actually holding up the hire.
Source
Targeted sourcing across multiple channels plus the TVP Talent Universe — in parallel.
Evaluate
Each candidate screened for technical skill, commissioning experience, and cultural alignment.
Deliver
Only well-matched profiles are presented — with our reasoning, not just résumés.
Support
We stay engaged through interviews, offer management, and onboarding — and stand behind it.
Recruitment led by an engineer.
I spent over a decade on the plant floor and in the control room — including as an Energy Automation specialist at Schneider Electric — before I started recruiting for it.
That experience is why TVP screens differently. I've read the P&IDs, tuned the loops, and sat through the SATs, so I can tell a capable control-systems engineer from a risky one — something a keyword search never will.
Talent Vertex Partners exists to bring that engineering judgement to hiring across power & energy automation, industrial automation, and IT/OT integration — and to give India's automation engineers a network that maps them to the work they're built for.
Screened by an engineer — on commissioning competence, not CV keywords.
Mapped, not mass-mailed — a continuously engaged talent network, ready before the mandate opens.
Accountable to the outcome — every shortlist is one I'd stake my technical reputation on.
Built on principles. Run on method.
Professionalism
Every interaction represents your brand in the market, not just ours.
Integrity
No inflated profiles, no padded CVs. Only real alignment. If the shortlist is short, we tell you why.
Responsibility
We own the outcome, not just the closure.
We validate engineers, not résumés.
Technical screening on real commissioning scenarios — niche-tool depth, project-experience verification, and domain alignment, not keyword matching.
We map to the project, not the JD.
We read the actual scope — architecture, vendor stack, standards, project phase — and source against what the role genuinely demands.
We run searches in parallel.
Multiple channels plus the TVP Talent Universe working at once, so the shortlist builds while the brief is still warm.
We bring market intelligence to the table.
Where the talent sits, why it's scarce, and what it actually costs — across utilities, EPC timelines, and manufacturing lifecycles.
Every profile we send is one we'd stake our technical reputation on.
