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.
