FairWind is scaling its UK workforce with new installation and service technician roles to support a growing pipeline of onshore and offshore projects.
The company increased its UK headcount by over 20 people in the past year following the opening of an Aberdeen hub in 2024, it said.
FairWind added that it has committed to further investment across the UK and Ireland in 2026, including senior appointments and an operational base in the west of Scotland.
The business was recently awarded a contract by Vestas to deliver the full installation scope for 44 turbines at the Sanquhar II wind farm in Scotland, developed by CWP Energy Ltd.
René Damgaard (pictured), regional director for UK and Ireland, said the company’s growth plan is focused on building local roots.
“The wind sector has always been defined by progress, but our journey is shaped by the people on the ground,” said Damgaard.
“Our growth plan isn’t just about market entry – it’s about building local roots in the UK and Ireland,” Damgaard added.
“This means investing in the economy and reskilling programmes to develop local expertise, strengthen the domestic renewables supply chain, and establish a long-term, sustainable presence in the region,” he stated.
“It’s essential that turbines are installed safely, efficiently and responsibly to ensure the long-term reliability and productivity of the assets,” he said.
“By combining our global experience with on-the-ground insights, we are helping developers minimise risk, streamline construction and deliver turbines that perform at their peak throughout their entire lifecycle,” he added.
FairWind said it is seeking motivated individuals as more wind farms come online across the UK and Ireland.
Rene continued: “We aren’t just looking for employees, we are looking for passionate people to support our growth. If you want to work at the forefront of renewable energy, develop global-standard expertise, and help us deliver peak performance for the UK and Ireland’s energy grid, we want to hear from you.”
