Vestas careers – diverse roles in sustainable energy

Vestas is a Danish multinational sustainable energy solutions company that designs, manufactures, installs and maintains wind turbines in 87 countries. If you’re interested in working in renewable energy from a business or technical perspective, the company is always adding to its over 29,000 employees working on-site at the wind farm locations, in production facilities and at the company’s offices. Let’s take a look at some of the career options available at Vestas.

Careers in production

Vestas has production facilities all over the world where it manufactures industry-leading wind turbines. Factories tend to specialise in a single component or function only: from wind turbine blades, generators and nacelles (the generator housing) to spare parts and assembly. Factories need people in a variety of roles to work smoothly, including engineering jobs across various specialisms, health, safety and environment officers, and team coordinators. Production is about problem-solving and attention to detail.

Careers on site

Installing and servicing the company’s wind turbines is a job for the on-site team. These roles can involve travel – particularly on the sea for offshore work – teamwork and technical expertise. From service technicians, testing and civil engineers, and repair technicians to installation supervisors and project managers, on-site careers are perfect for people who are hands-on, love to be outdoors and on the go, and enjoy a challenge.

Office careers

The Vestas offices are the nerve centre of the company. They look after clients, sales and supply as well as coordinating servicing activities. The company also has a number of research and development centres throughout Europe, where new technologies are conceived for implementation in the factories. In addition to design engineers and researchers, there are roles in business administration, supply chain and finance as well as various IT specialists, data scientists and HR positions, to name a few.

Early careers at Vestas

Vestas is a great place for career starters or those interested in finding out more about working in the sustainable energy industry. The company offers wind turbine technician apprenticeship opportunities and business traineeships for school leavers. There is also a leadership-focused graduate programme comprising two year-long rotations with five distinct skills development modules. And if you haven’t finished university yet, Vestas has student jobs, internships and work experience project collaborations to give you experience in the industry, complement your studies and boost your CV.
