A renewable energy company was struggling to appoint a wind turbine technician for their offshore wind farm in Germany, so they engaged Visuna for recruitment for offshore wind.

This offshore wind project in the Baltic Sea is made up of 80 wind turbines and provides electricity for 340,000 households. The client had tried to recruit for the role themselves, but a shortage of appropriately trained workers within the industry was causing difficulty for them. During the Covid-19 pandemic, a lot of projects stopped and workers were sent home. Now that all of these projects are launching at the same time, there is an increased demand for workers.

The Solution

Visuna set up an initial call with the client’s key stakeholders to scope the project and ensure we fully understood the requirements. After assessing the client’s needs, we identified potential candidates from our global database of specialist offshore wind talent. In addition to this, we undertook our professional search service.

This project required the team to act quickly and proactively as talent with the niche skills required for offshore wind jobs are in high demand.

All candidates went through our thorough quality assurance checks before final submission to the client for selection. Once an offer was ready to be made, we supported the candidate by ensuring they were certified to the client’s standards. This included sourcing and booking the relevant training programs.

Our quick and proactive approach meant that the client did not fall behind their project scheduling, saving valuable time and mitigating additional costs.
