Challenging work in a fast-moving industry

Our planet needs protecting. Not only for ourselves, but for future generations. This is the mission embraced by everyone at Vestas.

Employees find that no two days are the same. The challenges they face are the hallmark of operating at the forefront of a rapidly-evolving industry. Achieving our ambitious commercial and environmental goals means continuing our evolution as a high-performance organisation.

Everything we strive for – commercially, technically, environmentally – is based on a compassionate and forward-thinking approach. The personal and career goals of employees are aligned with the ambitions of the business. Everyone benefits from working in a safe, diverse culture where professional development is valued.

Join Vestas and you will find yourself working in a true spirit of collaboration while enjoying the knowledge that you are making a positive difference to the world.

Development and diversity

We encourage and support all our people to achieve their maximum potential in terms of professional development. Continual training is offered in whichever career path they choose to follow – business, technical or management.

A safe, sustainable culture

Safety is and always will be our number one priority. We have a zero tolerance approach towards any activities jeopardising the health of our employees and contractors. All staff undergo Safety Awareness Training and managers carry out regular Safety Walks on-site to identify any risks and discuss issues with staff.

We’re proud that our industrial injury rate has fallen sharply since 2006. However, we will not rest until accidents are eliminated entirely.

Sustainability shapes everything we strive for. We are constantly researching ways of driving down the cost of energy for our customers, as well as reducing our own carbon footprint. That means we are increasing the recyclability of our products and relying more on renewable energy for our own operations.

As an employee, you’ll be encouraged to contribute to our sustainability targets and help maintain our profile as an ethical business. We’re also co-founders of the UN-backed WindMade initiative, a campaign aimed at educating consumers about environmentally-sound products and services.
