We place experienced freelancers and interim experts with developers, EPCs and operators of solar, wind, storage, grid and hydrogen projects — across every phase of the project lifecycle.
Contracting at TOPSTEP means: we bring vetted freelancers and interim specialists into your project exactly when in-house capacity or specialist know-how is missing. Time-boxed, professionally precise, without the overhead of permanent hires.
Profiles with verifiable project history and personally known points of contact.
First qualified shortlist usually within 2 days.
Clean service or work contracts, compliant with German AÜG regulation, with clear liability.
A dedicated TOPSTEP partner alongside your project, from briefing to close.
We focus exclusively on renewables and the grid that goes with them. Every sector is led by an advisor with first-hand industry experience.
Grid connection and grid expansion — the central knot of the energy transition.

Erection, grid connection and commissioning — the critical phase with the highest schedule pressure.
The energy transition lives or dies on the grid: HVDC converters, new 380-kV corridors, substations and connection points for wind, solar and BESS. Those are exactly the bottlenecks we staff — with proven specialists who know TSOs, EPCs and component OEMs from their own projects.
We work exclusively with profiles we personally know. No CV recycling, no mass databases — every placement is a deliberate recommendation.

Yaw brings more than 13 years of industry experience and knows the players in the energy transition on both sides personally.
„In the energy transition, the people who win are the ones who get the right team into the project fast. That is exactly my job — pragmatic, with short paths."
Yaw has more than 13 years of industry experience — from offshore and onshore wind to power transmission and HVDC, and on to solar, BESS and green hydrogen. He knows the requirements of TSOs, EPCs, developers and O&M providers from both sides, as a recruiter and as a project partner, and accompanies every engagement personally.
Yaw has supported our European offshore-wind projects for over seven years, reliably placing senior profiles up to director level. Technical and commercial expertise, dependability and a consistently professional presence — exactly what makes a long-term partner.
In power transmission, deep sector understanding is everything. Yaw and the TOPSTEP team read competencies precisely and bring commercial judgement to the table. A trust-based partnership, since 2017.
Yaw took the time to understand my background and my career goals, and represented me professionally. Transparent communication, honest feedback and a deeply human approach to recruiting.
