Energy executive and operational recruitment
We connect Texas operators, plants, and energy facilities with proven engineering specialists, directors, and vice-presidents. Grounded in Houston, Nex Executive recruits against the demands of the real asset—delivering leadership ready to protect uptime, safety, and capital delivery.
Our specialized energy sectors
We do not recruit from generic keyword searches. Our practice is anchored in physical assets, operating facilities, and high-consequence environments across Texas and the Gulf Coast.
Oil, gas, and midstream
We source seasoned engineers and operational leaders across upstream infrastructure, pipeline networks, gathering systems, compression, and midstream terminal facilities.
Refining and petrochemicals
Placing process, reliability, and plant leadership across continuous-processing environments, petrochemical manufacturing units, and major downstream refining assets.
Power and industrial grid
Targeted search for plant managers, project leaders, and operations executives driving baseload generation, industrial utilities, and asset-tied energy technology.
Why industry leaders choose Nex Executive
Internal talent teams and generalist agencies often confuse upstream exploration with downstream refining or present corporate résumés for critical field and plant posts. We begin with your facility, process complexities, and immediate 24-month operational roadmap. We only deliver vetted permanent leaders who have already managed your scale of uptime, safety, and capital risk.
Roles and executive tiers we place
We dedicate our practice strictly to permanent mid-to-senior specialists, operational leaders, directors, and vice-presidents. Our placements include process, facilities, reliability, and project engineers, along with HSE heads, operations managers, and directors of engineering, capital projects, and manufacturing across Texas operators, EPCs, and asset-backed energy-technology providers.
