Our locations in Germany

We’ve been active on the German market since 2005, working from three locations: Hamburg, Norden-Norddeich, and Berlin. Our focus in Germany is on generating renewable offshore energy in the North Sea, and we’ve built six offshore wind farms that, combined, produce enough renewable energy to power the equivalent of 2.5 million households.

Our aim is to drive the transition to a completely new renewable energy system that can help combat climate change. To this end, we are constantly on the lookout for qualified and motivated employees who will work with us to create new solutions in the field of renewable energy.

Our locations in Germany

Since 2005, Hamburg has been the seat of Ørsted's German head office. Over 130 employees work in the port city on the development of new offshore wind farms and the management of our existing facilities in the German North Sea. We also develop customised energy solutions for industry and public utilities.

Hamburg is a city with a high quality of life, maritime flair and a diverse cultural offering. Due to its proximity to the water as well as numerous green spaces and nature reserves, ecological awareness among Hamburg's citizens is very high. For us, this makes the Hanseatic city the ideal location to promote the German energy transition.

Our office

Located directly at the Elbe, our Hamburg office offers an incomparable view over the port of Hamburg. We have rented three floors in Dockland, a modern office building near the former England ferry pier and now the cruise terminal.

With its striking cross-section, the six-storey building not only looks like the bow of a ship protruding over the water, but also has its own landing stage. Our employees can come directly to the office by harbour ferry. Various bus and train lines are also within walking distance.

The canteen offers a wide range of fresh and regional dishes every day. With drinks and fresh fruit in the office, we ensure the well-being of our colleagues. They also benefit from various sports activities and events directly on site.

The nearby Hamburg district Altona-Altstadt offers a wide range of gastronomic and cultural activities for lunch or after work. In addition to a large selection of restaurants and cafés as well as theatres, cinemas and museums, the colourful district is home to numerous shops and small shops that invite you to stroll and browse.

For the operational management of our wind farms, we have been based in the Lower Saxony port of Norden-Norddeich since 2013. From here we are ideally located at a distance from our offshore wind farms. The more than 180 employees at our location in East Frisia are service technicians, deployment planners and other professions directly involved in the maintenance of our turbines.

On the high seas, work is done in shifts – the colleagues sleep on a so-called Service Operation Vessel. Before they are deployed in the wind farms, our employees go through numerous training courses. After all, their work is physically and mentally demanding – and safety is always our top priority.

As part of the Offshore NETz – an association of companies from the maritime and offshore wind industry operating in Norden-Norddeich – we are committed to creating long-term jobs and thus bringing the positive economic effects of the energy transition to the East Frisia region.

Our engagement in the region

As part of the Community, we feel very close to Norddeich. This is why we have been working in partnership with the town for many years and support various projects on site. In addition to sponsoring the Ørsted Sommerstaffel Norden, we also cooperate with the Seal Station Norddeich: As part of this cooperation, an "offshore space" has been created to show what is being done in the construction and operation of the facilities to ensure that no animals are harmed.

Our office

With our office building in Norddeich, we are demonstrating that we are committed to renewable energies and sustainability, and not only in energy production. The building is heated by geothermal energy, with solar panels providing hot water. The daily lunch is supplied by a local supplier.

"Ørsted offers me a wide range of development opportunities and the chance to discover various fields of expertise. We have a lot of freedom to develop and implement ideas ourselves. This is supported by very trusting and solution-oriented collaboration. Who can claim to be on a first-name basis with the CEO?“
— Thijs Schless: Head of Regional Support, Norden-Norddeich

The direct location of our office at the harbour in Norddeich guarantees short distances to the ferries to the East Frisian islands Norderney and Juist. The beach is also within walking distance and, like the Wadden Sea, invites you to go for a walk. Norddeich also offers ideal conditions for kite surfers – whether beginners or professionals. We work where others spend their holidays.
