Careers
Offshore wind is one of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving sectors in the global energy landscape, and Veja Mate stands at the heart of this transformation. Our 402 MW offshore wind farm, located in the German North Sea, is not just an engineering achievement—it is a living, breathing operation that depends on the skill, dedication, and passion of every team member. If you are looking for a career that combines purpose, innovation, and real-world impact, you have come to the right place. We are always on the lookout for experienced and committed professionals to join our project office in Hamburg and help us shape the future of renewable energy.
Why Veja Mate?
Veja Mate is more than a wind farm; it is a testament to what can be achieved when expertise meets ambition. Since commissioning in 2017, our turbines have been generating clean electricity for over 400,000 German households, displacing hundreds of thousands of tonnes of CO₂ every year. But behind every megawatt is a team of people who plan, monitor, troubleshoot, and innovate. Working with us means being part of a lean, agile organisation where your contribution is visible and valued. We are not a faceless corporation—we are a close-knit team of engineers, asset managers, IT specialists, and operations experts who share a common goal: to keep Veja Mate running safely, efficiently, and sustainably for decades to come.
Our culture is built on trust, transparency, and a genuine commitment to professional growth. We encourage our employees to take ownership of their work, challenge the status quo, and bring fresh ideas to the table. Whether you are a seasoned offshore veteran or an ambitious early-career professional, you will find an environment that supports your development and recognises your achievements. And because we operate in a fast-moving industry, no two days are the same—there is always a new technical challenge, a new optimisation opportunity, or a new regulatory development to navigate.
Our Hamburg Office: The Nerve Centre of Operations
While the turbines themselves stand 95 kilometres off the coast, the operational heart of Veja Mate beats in our Hamburg project office. From here, we coordinate all aspects of asset management, technical operations, and commercial administration. Our office is a hub of activity, where data from the wind farm is analysed in real time, maintenance campaigns are planned months in advance, and strategic decisions are made that affect the long-term performance of the asset. It is a place where collaboration is key—engineers sit alongside financial analysts, IT experts work hand-in-hand with marine coordinators, and everyone is focused on the same objective: maximising availability and minimising downtime.
We are currently seeking experienced and motivated individuals to strengthen our Hamburg-based team. If you have a background in offshore wind, renewable energy, or a related technical or commercial field, we would love to hear from you. We value diversity of thought and experience, and we believe that the best solutions emerge when people with different perspectives come together. Our working language is English, reflecting the international nature of our team and our industry, and we welcome applications from candidates of all nationalities.

What We Look For
Working at Veja Mate requires a unique blend of technical expertise, practical problem-solving, and a collaborative mindset. While specific requirements vary by role, there are certain qualities that we value across the board. First and foremost, we look for people who are passionate about renewable energy and committed to making a difference. This is not just a job—it is a mission, and we want colleagues who share that sense of purpose.
Beyond passion, we seek individuals with strong communication skills, both written and verbal, as our team is distributed across locations and often works with external partners. Fluency in English is essential, as it is our working language; knowledge of German is an advantage but not always required. We also value adaptability and resilience, because the offshore environment is unpredictable, and priorities can shift quickly. Finally, we appreciate a proactive attitude—people who see a problem and take the initiative to solve it, rather than waiting to be told what to do.
“At Veja Mate, we don’t just operate a wind farm—we operate a promise: to deliver clean, reliable energy for generations. Every role here contributes to that promise, and that is what makes working here so rewarding.”
We understand that applying for a job can be a significant step, and we treat every application with the respect and attention it deserves. If your profile matches our needs, we will invite you for an interview—either in person at our Hamburg office or via video conference, depending on your location. During the interview process, you will have the opportunity to meet with several team members, ask questions about the role and our culture, and get a genuine feel for what it is like to work at Veja Mate. We believe in transparency and open communication, so we will keep you informed at every stage of the process.

For professionals in the renewable energy sector, Hamburg is also a strategic hub. The city is home to a growing cluster of wind energy companies, research institutions, and industry associations, making it an ideal place to build a career and expand your professional network.

Our goal is to create an environment where you can thrive both personally and professionally, and where your well-being is a priority.
