Offshore wind power in Cuxhaven

The plant in Cuxhaven currently provides jobs for more than 1,000 people, over 870 of whom are permanent colleagues. The three main components of the nacelle - hub, generator and backend - are assembled in three production lines and then joined together and "married" in the so-called "marriage" line.

The finished turbines then wait in the directly adjacent port, visible from afar, for onward transportation by special ship. From there, they are transported to the respective installation ports, where they are delivered to the wind farms together with the towers and rotor blades.

Nacelles for 14 MW offshore wind turbines are currently being manufactured in Cuxhaven. One of these turbines alone, with a rotor diameter of 222 m, will be able to cover the annual demand for clean energy for more than 14,000 households on the high seas.

The credo of the globally active group is clearly defined: We focus on hiring the best colleagues, no matter where they are in the world. We are proud of the flexibility we offer our colleagues and are committed to building a workforce that can grow with the company.

Siemens Gamesa is an equal opportunity employer. We embrace diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all colleagues. Valuing our colleagues makes us a global team where the safety of our colleagues is at the heart of our organization.

The workforce at the Cuxhaven plant is diverse: more than 31 nationalities work at the plant, more than half of them in three-shift operation. Around 11% of colleagues in Cuxhaven are women, 6% of whom work in production. With nationwide events such as the "Girls' Day" career day and cooperations with vocational schools and universities in the immediate region, the company supports young women in particular in getting excited about the wind power industry.
