A little bit about us:
A Career Enabling You to Make a Global Impact!
You will have heard about the term ‘energy transition’ and perhaps wondered what this means and how you can get involved. We can see fundamental changes in our daily lives, from the electrification of motor vehicles to reducing our dependency on fossil fuels through the increased use of renewable energy sources.

At GEV Wind Power, we are a key part of this transition and proud to be helping accelerate the change. Our role is critical in supporting power generation from wind energy, where we are the market leader in maintaining one of the key components – the rotor blades. If the blades become damaged or simply lose their structural integrity through erosion from wind and rain, their efficiency and ability to produce power reduce dramatically. Our job is to ensure the blades keep their profile and remain optimal for producing electricity.

A career with GEV means taking ownership of the challenges we face globally and personally contributing to a positive future for us all. You will also join a dynamic, team-oriented organization, where the culture is built around collaboration and driving change.

Don't hesitate, submit your application!
