Monopiles producer Haizea is seeking to hire 295 workers for its new factory in Bilbao in north Spain.
Haizea Wind Group will recruit workers specialised in areas such as boilermaking, painting and surface treatment or engineering, among others, between October and December 2023.
The company will provide continuous training opportunities to its workers.
New hires will also benefit from training plans, as well as language training.
Currently, for 10-12MW offshore wind turbines monopiles have a diameter of 8-9 metres, a length of 80-90 meters and a weight of about 1500 tons.
Haizea Bilbao is one of the few European manufacturers capable of manufacturing parts with these dimensions.
In the future, with wind turbines of up to 20MW, it is estimated that monopiles will be up to 14-15 metres in diameter, up to 130 metres long and weigh up to 3500 tons.
With the planned investments, the new Bilbao plant will be sized to manufacture parts of this size in serial production.
