Background

Our client is a leading European Transmission System Operator (TSO) with their main activites in the Netherlands and Germany. The client is responsible for ensuring wind farms in the Netherlands and Germany are connected to the grid. Airswift have been engaged with the client in the Netherlands to provide personnel for their major offshore grid connection projects.

Challenges

The offshore projects that the client are involved with require a specific calibre of candidate. As they are responsible for project development, candidates must have previous client experience and be familiar with the technology being used. Another challenge was that due to the project location, a number of positions required candidates who can fluently communicate in Dutch.

Airswift Solution

Using our discipline specific recruitment teams, we have been able to provide qualified candidates to the client across a wide range of disciplines. Coupling our local knowledge in the Netherlands with our global project experience, we have been able to support with both local and expat candidates. It has been important that candidates have the right mix of client side experience and relevant project experience. Our proven background in supporting developers /operators on large offshore projects has enabled us to find the best talent available.

Results

Airswift has successfully placed contractors across a number of the client's offshore grid connection projects. We have been able to place contractors locally in the Netherlands as well as providing personnel at fabrication sites in the Middle East. We continue to support the client with vacancies across both their offshore grid projects as well as the onshore development projects.

I have always found Airswift to be very responsive, helpful and knowledgeable. We have used Airswift specifically to facilitate talent needs in countries where we have not had an entity or where we have had a need for specific workforce assistance that Airswift can provide.

Airswift is one of the most reliable contingent labor providers that we work with. Their team has consistently provided highly skilled clean energy talent to job sites in every imaginable location. The Airswift staff has consistently responded to our requests, and the level of professional services has set the standard by which we now measure other renewable energy recruitment companies.

We knew that we could rely on Airswift and that they do their best to get the job done. Great knowledge about the alternative energy market and details of the positions that we were going to hire. Airswift are not pushy and aggressive like other agencies. They provide good and professional service at fair and reasonable prices while accommodating customer’s needs and expectations.

The Airswift team has been instrumental in key steps of several of our green energy projects. The whole team offers both quantitative and qualitative support with high sense of service, even with tight deadlines.
