Head of Wind Engineering
Join our mission to end the landfill of all wind farm components and ensure the success of the next generation of wind projects.
Join us in solving Circularity for the Wind Industry!
By 2050, half of Europe’s energy is expected to come from wind to meet climate goals. At the same time, many current wind farms today are reaching the end of their 20-to-30-year lifespan.
At ReWind, we develop a software product for energy companies and wind developers to guide the end-of-life phase of wind farms. Our mission is to accelerate wind energy renewal and ensure no components end up in landfill.
ReWind began as an internal project in DNV and has spun out into an independent, fast-growing company since launching our first product in 2023. Combining deep wind industry expertise with leading software development, we are now looking for a Head of Wind Engineering to join our team.
