Discover the Key Roles We Recruit for Wind

At Orion, we come across a wide variety of roles and positions for Wind. Here is a list of the most common roles our clients are recruiting for:

A Consent Manager is crucial in securing necessary approvals for project development, construction, and operation. Their responsibilities include managing the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Habitats Regulations Assessment processes, delivering and maintaining required consents, including consent orders and marine licenses, and leading offshore consenting aspects during project examination. 

At Orion Group, we leverage our industry expertise and extensive network to efficiently source and match a highly qualified consent manager with the specific technical, regulatory, and project management skills required for complex offshore wind.

Electrical Engineers work across a broad range of activities, from designing electrical systems for renewable energy plants and projects to managing the installation and commissioning of these projects. They also play a key role in optimising performance, and ensuring systems operate reliably and safely. 

Orion can help you find the right person or teams specialised in high voltage power systems, transmission systems, and all onshore and offshore cabling connections to ensure your project succeeds.

Geotechnical engineers can be placed in many of the renewable sub-sectors where the physical asset has a relationship with its environment. In the wind sector, geological engineers help design wind turbine foundations, assisting project managers in the development of onshore and offshore wind farms. 

At Orion Group, as part of our due diligence process, we make certain that our candidates are experienced in site investigation and analysis, foundation design and installation, and risk assessment so your project can run as smoothly as possible.

Developing and implementing safety procedures and protocols is one of the main roles of an HSE specialist in wind. They ensure that all aspects of offshore and onshore wind farm operations across the project lifecycle, from design construction to maintenance and decommissioning, are covered by comprehensive safety procedures and protocols. 

With HSE being required across all industries, Orion has provided a wealth of HSE professionals over the years, and we can continue to identify and target your onshore or offshore wind project.

Offshore Project Managers organise wind projects and ensure they’re within budget. Their responsibilities include enhancing business development with new offshore opportunities and supporting the engineering, development, legal, and operations departments. 

We can call on a long list of experienced project managers and those within the Offshore wind recruitment area for this vital role. Whether permanent or contract, short or long-term, we have the individuals and team players you need to oversee your important projects.

This highly responsible role in the renewable energy sector involves providing planning and project control support to the project management team to successfully plan and progress the preparation and execution of the planned works. This would cover aspects of the work like logic, resource planning, cash flow, and uncertainties. 

With our history and reputation based on oil and gas and energy, there is no surprise when we say our offshore wind staffing and recruitment solutions are naturally second to none.

As wind energy is known for being a sustainable energy source, it’s important to ensure that wind projects are sustainably developed. The role of the Sustainability Manager is to maintain that businesses meet sustainability goals and adhere to environmental standards. A sustainability manager in the wind industry focuses on developing and implementing eco-friendly strategies to reduce environmental impact while ensuring business success, working closely with other teams throughout the process. 

At Orion, we ensure that all personnel for this role can communicate clearly, collaborate effectively, and are well-versed in providing sustainable practices for producing clean, renewable energy.

Wind turbine engineers have many responsibilities focused on designing, developing, and maintaining wind energy systems. They are involved in designing wind farms and turbine layouts, overseeing the installation and commissioning, and conducting regular inspections, maintenance, and performance optimisation of wind turbines. 

Wind turbine technician jobs are becoming more and more abundant these days, and Orion can leverage its extensive network and industry expertise to connect candidates to rewarding roles, ensuring our clients hire the right talent to fill critical roles.
