If it’s for a Vestas wind turbine, they make those up in Windsor. They are why the price of balsa is going up! They are opening up a new plant for the nacelle (hub/generator stuff) in Brighton soon. My friend just got hired there. Seems like they are growing and hiring big right now, in case people are looking for jobs.

I always watch the wind farms hoping to see one of those go flying off the turbine…… 😛 Now THAT would be cool to see. 😈
I wonder if they are dual or single deploy.

Anyone on the forum work at Vestas or know someone there?

They are one of the few local companies hiring these days.

I have a good friend who just started there a couple months ago. Not many openings there for what I do, but I’d be happy to put resumes in through him. He sits near the HR person. I hear they pay well, too. Dig through their online careers section and let me know if you want me to put you in touch.
