Growth in wind creates 130 new jobs at Vattenfall

Vattenfall is investing 5 billion euros in the expansion of wind and other renewable energy production. Offshore Projects like Sandbank in Germany, Aberdeen in UK or HornsRev3 in Denmark, as well as the company’s first large-scale solar project in connection with an onshore windfarm, are visible elements of Vattenfall’s strong ambition to expand the wind capacity every year by 400 to 600 MW.

With this growth, Vattenfall creates new jobs in commercial and technical areas and has already begun the hiring process for these new positions. More than 600 employees are working today in Renewable energy projects within the Business Area Wind.

The energy transition is already well under way and we need to build up new competencies and recruit new talent to help us achieve our ambitious goals. Vattenfall has over 100 years of experience in the energy business and is at the forefront in Europe’s energy transition into Renewables, especially in offshore wind. We offer an exciting work place where people can contribute to building the future energy landscape and we know that great people make all the difference,” says Lamin Faye, Head of HR & HSE for Business Area Wind.
