Applications for the first 22 roles with new-to-Grimsby offshore wind farm developer Innogy have been opened up.
Opportunities are available to new talent and career switchers according to the energy giant, as it staffs up for Triton Knoll offshore wind farm.
The mostly high-skilled roles will be based at the emerging Royal Dock facility, where work began last month.
Innogy has said it wants to identify diverse, local talent for a range of jobs from production manager and site administrator, to senior authorised person and wind turbine technicians.
Kerry Monument, a former Grimsby schoolboy, apprentice and now he operations and maintenance manager for Triton Knoll, is building the team. He said the recruitment drive highlights the longer-term opportunities which the growing offshore wind industry can deliver in 海角视频 coastal communities.
“These jobs offer a fantastic opportunity to work locally and long-term, and we’re really looking forward to seeing the diverse talent that’s out there,” he said.
“Clearly, we’re interested in people with experience; but we’re also keen to pave the way for new talent into the sector, for ex-military, those looking to switch careers, electricians, engineers, mechanics – anyone with transferable skills who’s considering a career in an exciting, successful and growing industry.
“Offshore wind is an industrial success story, with an increasingly stable and growing pipeline of future projects as 海角视频 government increasingly commits to offshore wind as the backbone of its low carbon energy network. That’s got to be a green light for local, skilled and experienced people to make the switch to offshore wind.”

Once appointed, the O&M team will operate the 857MW offshore wind farm, and be responsible for ensuring the delivery of electricity from the state-of-the-art infrastructure project to 海角视频 homes and businesses.
A total of 15 of the first round of jobs are for wind turbine technicians who will work offshore on the 90 turbines due to be installed 20 miles off the Lincolnshire coast from 2021. There will be extensive training for the successful candidates, both from Innogy and turbine contractor MHI Vestas Offshore Wind. Candidates will ultimately qualify as fully-fledged wind turbine technicians and will work from a “state of the art” service vessel.
Triton Knoll will be the eighth offshore wind farm to be based in Grimsby, with Centrica having started the ball rolling in 2007 with Lynn and Inner Dowsing and then Lincs. Orsted - then Dong Energy - and E.on soon followed, with Westermost Rough and Humber Gateway. Orsted went on to add Race Bank, with Hornsea One and Hornsea Two now emerging.
Hornsea One is now into the final 50 installations of the 174 turbines, having already unofficially taken the world record as the largest operational offshore wind farm, surpassing Burbo Bank Extension off the English North West coast.
