Copper Quail Global Information

Copper Quail Global is a specialist executive search and recruitment firm placing senior leaders and technical experts across mining, renewables, oil and gas, commodities, engineering and finance. We recruit directors, C-suite and hard-to-fill leadership roles across Africa — with particular depth in SADC and East Africa — drawing on a global candidate network to bring the right people into African operations. Founded in 2016, we work retained and contingent across the full leadership stack: from board and executive appointments to specialist engineering and project roles. Our team combines search expertise with real sector background — including hands-on experience delivering utility-scale solar, wind and grid projects under South Africa's REIPPPP programme. We're part of a group built for African hiring end to end. Africa Deployments (ADS), our Employer of Record business, lets clients hire and pay staff compliantly across 50+ African countries without setting up a local entity. SET Consulting SA extends our reach into the South African market. Sectors we recruit for: mining • renewable energy (solar PV, wind, BESS, hydrogen, grid) • oil and gas • commodities • engineering and EPC • finance leadership.
