The Dutch market outlook is very promising. Perhaps more than any other country in the world, the Netherlands is about to see a huge ramp up of wind energy in the next few years, particularly offshore. In terms of wind power, the Dutch government aims to increase the offshore wind capacity by 350% by 2023. To make the transition happen, the wind industry needs a diverse range of qualified and motivated people.
Siemens Gamesa in the Netherlands is rapidly growing towards 200 employees. We are looking for technically skilled colleagues to join our motivated team. Our activities include the planning and engineering of future wind farms as well as the maintenance and troubleshooting of the existing fleet. In line with our culture of knowledge-sharing, we collaborate with various educational institutes across the country.
