Case study

Supporting a global offshore wind developer deliver 1.4GW in Europe

For over a decade, TH has been a trusted partner to a global offshore wind developer headquartered in Paris, sourcing a spectrum of positions globally across every project phase.

We’ve worked closely with this developer on commissioning of two major projects in France and one in the UK, totalling 1.4GW. We’ve delivered specialists in turbine, cables, onshore and offshore substation and foundation commissioning. We were awarded a services contract to supply freelance personnel for on-site commissioning services, and our 24/7 global mobility experts arranged work permits and visas to allow UK contractors to work compliantly in France.

As our client continues to grow its offshore wind portfolio around the world, TH is perfectly placed to draw upon our dedicated contractor network to deliver the right technical specialists, ensuring projects are delivered safely and on time.
