WTG Operations engineer

  • Make a direct impact on the Dutch energy transition — from your base in the Netherlands.

Waarom kiezen voor Eneco

Eneco is an integrated, independent and growing international energy company. We operate in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom. Based on our mission ‘everyone’s sustainable energy’, we help consumers and companies switch to sustainable energy. We invest in wind farms, district heating, solar parks and storage solutions in order to increase the supply of renewable energy. Furthermore, we develop innovative products and services that allow our clients to take control over the manner in which they generate, store, use or share energy. Offshore Wind makes an important contribution to Eneco's ambition to further scale up its sustainable energy production.

Offshore wind is characterized by lightning-fast development of technology, as well as changing market conditions and regulations. Eneco is currently operating 5 offshore wind farms: Prinses Amaliawindpark, Luchterduinen, Blauwwind, Two Towers, and Crosswind. This will grow with the completion of Ecowende (HKW6) next year. Eneco is also shareholder in the Belgian offshore windfarms Norther and Seamade. Further growth of our portfolio will come from our development of new offshore wind farms in Northwest Europe. Eneco Wind Operations Offshore (EWOO) makes an important contribution to continuous improvement based on its knowledge and experience.
