Graham Smith

Graham is an experienced recruiter within the Melbourne market, who currently leads a specialist Energy and Renewables division at Quinn Allan.

Graham relocated from Scotland to Melbourne in 2017, after graduating with Honours in International Business Management. He has since developed a reputation for engaging with exceptional talent and delivering high-quality permanent and contract recruitment solutions across a range of industries. His expertise covers Energy, Renewables, Engineering, Finance, and Commercial markets, which he has gained whilst working for a combination of successful multinational and boutique recruitment companies.

Graham is passionate about sustainability and loves recruiting within the Energy and Renewables sectors, especially positions related to supporting the Energy Transition. After delivering on difficult-to-fill assignments in the areas of Pricing, Analytics, Trading, Risk, and Portfolio Optimisation, his interest was ignited and he saw an opportunity to support Energy organisations on a deeper level, in a highly competitive talent market.

Graham is a huge fan of all things Sport, Travel and Music. In his spare time, you can usually find him on the golf course, watching Melbourne at the MCG, or exploring the Australian outback.

We approached Quinn Allan (and Graham specifically) in 2022 with the objective to source a Market Risk Analyst with proven experience in energy markets. We were initially focused on a profile pattern that proved to be biased and would likely lead to a deadlock in us securing someone in a timely manner. After thorough consultation from Graham, we instructed him to direct our efforts towards individuals with excellent quantitative skills and the ability to adapt quickly to a new industry environment. Through Graham’s knowledge and insightful advice, we were eventually able to recruit an extremely bright candidate who has now become an experienced Risk professional, probably the best in my team. I would not have any hesitation in recommending Quinn Allan to recruit for any role, including niche positions or profiles difficult to match.
