About LUVI

Built by operators who've done the work.

Two decades of combined experience placing executives, project leaders and specialists across Australia's energy and infrastructure markets. Founder led on every engagement. Headquartered in Brisbane, working nationally.

Our Story

Recruitment, done properly.

LUVI Consulting was founded on a simple observation. Recruitment in a sector as complex as energy demands people who understand it properly. Not people who learned the acronyms last week.

Lucas and Vinnie built LUVI to do things differently. No bloated desks. No quota driven CV floods. No junior consultants running senior searches. Two founders, three proprietary databases covering 3,100 Australian energy, oil and gas, and infrastructure projects, and the judgment to know which five candidates actually matter.

Every search we run is led personally by a founder. Every placement is accountable to one of our names. That's the LUVI difference.

It's also why clients come back.

Founder led.

You work with Lucas or Vinnie directly. No account managers. No junior consultants. Decisions fast, accountability personal.

Data first.

Proprietary databases across energy, oil and gas, and infrastructure sharpen every sourcing decision. We bring receipts to every brief.

Sector obsessed.

We only work where we have genuine depth. Australian energy, oil and gas, and infrastructure. Nothing else.

Quality over volume.

Five right candidates, not fifty plausible ones. Every shortlist is curated. Every submission is fit for purpose.

What We Stand For
