Spencer Ogden — Company directory

City of London staffing agency that finds contract engineers and project hands for power, renewables and banking clients via three regional hubs worldwide.

Spencer Ogden is a specialist recruitment company whose head office is at 24 King William Street in the City of London. It places contract and permanent staff with employers in energy, infrastructure and finance, and organises its work across three regions: EMEA, APAC and the Americas. The leadership directory lists directors based in London, Houston, New York and Singapore, and the UK footprint also includes an office at 2 West Regent Street in Glasgow. German enquiries are handled from Mindspace Gruenstrasse in Duesseldorf.

Sector practices and the roles they cover

The business is split into four sector practices, each with its own delivery teams and its own section of the company website:

Critical infrastructure - data centre, grid and building services hiring. Articles published in 2026 discuss MEP engineer shortages in Europe and the United States and the power capacity constraints affecting new US data centre builds.
Natural resources - oil, gas and heavy industry staffing.
Renewables and sustainability - clean power project recruitment.
Finance - finance and commercial specialists for energy and infrastructure employers.

Consultants handle both contract and permanent mandates. The site separates jobseeker and employer journeys, with dedicated pages for clients, candidates and internal hiring, plus a job board carrying live roles in the United States, Europe and Asia.

Offices, hours and contact routes

The London and Glasgow offices share the switchboard number +44 207 268 9300 and are open Monday to Thursday from 08:30 to 18:00 and Friday from 08:30 to 15:00; the Duesseldorf office is listed on +49 21154013910. Enquiries from employers and candidates are routed through web forms, including branch level contact buttons and a general get in touch form. No general enquiries mailbox is published: the contact page carries telephone numbers and forms only, and the address [email protected] appears solely in the privacy policy for data protection requests, which was last updated in May 2018. Staff addresses on the team pages belong to named individuals in leadership, marketing, finance, IT and delivery roles.
