Global Wind Workforce Outlook 2025-2030
At Atlas NextWave, we see these dynamics every day. Our work supporting offshore wind projects across established and emerging markets shows how quickly workforce shortages can slow
The Greenhands Offshore program is one example of how fast new talent can be developed when industry, training partners and local authorities work together. By preparing new entrants for offshore work within weeks, it creates a consistent flow of job ready personnel in regions where demand is rising rapidly. On the other end of the experience spectrum, compliant international mobility allows projects to access critical expertise at the moments it is needed most. Together, these elements support a more resilient and more flexible workforce ecosystem. The findings of this report highlight the urgency of building that ecosystem at global scale. Workforce strategy can no longer sit behind supply chain strategy or project engineering. It must be treated as core infrastructure for the energy transition. If the world is to meet its 2030 wind targets, the industry must widen the pool of new entrants, accelerate training capacity, expand international competence standards and strengthen the systems that allow skilled people to move safely between markets.
We are committed to playing our part in building that foundation and to working with partners across the world to ensure
Atlas NextWave is proud to support this report as lead sponsor. We share the belief that the next era of global wind growth will be shaped by the ability to build and sustain the workforce that delivers it. The turbines, vessels and infrastructure of the future will only reach their potential if the people behind them are supported by a workforce ecosystem that is robust, coordinated and ready to grow.
that talent is never the reason a project cannot move forward.
down project delivery or increase operational risk. It also shows how
powerful coordinated workforce systems can be when they are implemented well. Structured entry programs, harmonised competence development and compliant cross-border deployment are not theoretical concepts. They are practical solutions that allow developers to build and operate assets more predictably and more safely. Our focus is to operate as a long term knowledge partner to developers, OEMs and vessel operators, providing the workforce architecture and global deployment capabilities that enable projects to be delivered predictably and safely.
