Long term contract

E.g. Rotor blade (ENERCON)Undifferentiated: Production operators, maintenance operators and logistic operators performing basic functions under supervision.Specialized: Same as above but tasks requiring more experience and also a few administrative workers responsible for quality inspection services and purchases.Technical: Management and coordination positions for the above categories (production, maintenance and logistics) plus technical and financial higher level functions.

3 years passed and 3 years to come - 20% of the committed workforce to be recruited.

Actually at least 6 years should remain contracted. Future: depends on market evolution.


Environmental benefits, jobs, economic growth and activity.
