TSO Recruitment for Netherlands Offshore Wind

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.

We continue to support the client with vacancies across both their offshore grid projects as well as the onshore development projects.
