\u00d8rsted is recruiting for offshore wind turbine technicians across three of its UK operational sites, located at the Port of Grimsby, Liverpool and Barrow. The role brings responsibility for maintaining and repairing wind turbines while contributing to a safety-first culture.<\/p>\n

\u00d8rsted<\/a> is the leading player in the UK\u2019s offshore wind sector in operating and maintaining wind farms. The UK portfolio includes 12 operational offshore wind<\/a> farms, with Hornsea 3 currently under construction and set to become the world\u2019s single largest offshore wind farm.<\/p>\n

Hornsea 3<\/a> has capacity to deliver 2.9 GW of clean energy, powering more than 3.3 million homes, taking \u00d8rsted\u2019s UK total to more than 9 million homes powered and 10 per cent of the UK\u2019s total. With more than 1,100 employees across the UK, the company emphasises a strong safety culture and maximising wind farm performance.<\/p>\n

Technicians will operate from one of \u00d8rsted\u2019s state-of-the-art facilities and may work from either a Service Operations Vessel offshore on two-week rotation with some unsociable hours, or on seven-day shifts travelling daily between the site office and nearshore windfarms. Candidates require mechanical or electrical experience; wind turbine technician experience is a bonus but not essential.<\/p>\n

The role is a great way to transfer skills into the growing offshore wind industry. Within cover letters, applicants may indicate a preferred shift pattern.<\/p>\n

Darren Ramshaw, head of operations and maintenance for \u00d8rsted UK, said: \u201cThis is a great opportunity to join the growing industry of renewable energy. My career began in the steel industry, and I’ve seen first-hand how core skills can be transferred directly into renewable energy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking for a safety-first mindset and rigorous approach to maintenance and problem-solving and people who work great in a team.\u201d Courtney Doughty, wind turbine technician on a far shore site for \u00d8rsted UK, said: \u201cI love working out at sea for a two-week shift as it\u2019s meant I\u2019ve been able to travel on my off shift.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018The balance really works for me. Travelling to work via vessel and sometimes helicopter is a cool commute!<\/p>\n

\u201cThe industry is ever growing and being part of the team means lots of opportunities and it helps that it\u2019s a great lunchtime view.\u201d<\/p>\n
