Welcome to Generation Onshore

collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to ensure that the sites are providing safe and reliable operations
delivering high asset availability and power production through world-class technical performance.


To succeed in the role, you:

have at least five years of experience in operations or maintenance in power generation, transmissions, distribution, or a related field, with a journeyman or master electrician license or time in the armed services substituting for years of experience
have been in a supervisory role for more than a year
are able to work on-call, overnight, and in adverse weather conditions
are physically able to satisfy safety requirements of climb equipment and systems and climb wind turbines of varying heights.

Maybe you’ve read the above and can see you have some transferable skills, even though they don’t quite match all the points. If you think you can bring something to the team, we still encourage you to apply.


Shape the future with us

Send your application to us as soon as possible. We’ll be conducting interviews on a continuous basis and reserve the right to take down the advert when we’ve found the right candidate.

As an applicant or employee, you may request reasonable work and position accommodation or adjustments via accommodation@orsted.com.

Please note that you’re expected to do some travelling in relation to your work, as you’ll need to attend necessary trainings, including but not limited to, Wind Turbine Safety and Substation Safety.

Please note that for your application to be taken into consideration, you must submit your application via our online career pages and answer the screening questions relevant for your country. We don't take applications or inquiries from external recruiters or agencies into account for this position.
