Danish wind installation specialist FairWind is expanding its UK workforce, adding new installation and service technician roles to support a rising pipeline of onshore and offshore wind projects, the company said.
FairWind increased its UK headcount by more than 20 people over the past year following the opening of its Aberdeen hub in 2024, and said it plans further investment across the UK and Ireland in 2026, including senior hires and a new operational base in the west of Scotland.
The company recently secured a contract from Vestas to deliver the full turbine installation scope for 44 turbines at the Sanquhar II wind farm in Scotland, a project developed by CWP Energy Ltd.
“Our growth plan isn’t just about market entry – it’s about building local roots in the UK and Ireland,” said René Damgaard, FairWind’s regional director for the UK and Ireland, adding that the company aims to invest in local skills and strengthen domestic supply chains.
Damgaard said FairWind is focused on combining its international experience with local expertise to support safe and efficient turbine installation while helping developers reduce construction risk and improve long-term asset performance.
FairWind said it is actively recruiting as more wind farms come online across the UK and Ireland, with Damgaard adding that the company is seeking people who want to build careers at the forefront of the renewable energy sector.
