Parkwind as an employer

At Parkwind, we want to create a better world for future generations by making offshore wind energy available to all. We are ambitious and set the bar high for ourselves with enthusiasm, not only today but also tomorrow. This is not a short-term job but requires a long-term commitment and vision for the future.
And we realize that changing the future starts with ourselves. Parkwind's real magic lies in people.  We do business with people, for people. And that is why we find it essential to work together in an open and safe environment, where everyone feels welcome and can contribute optimally.
