Europe's wind pipeline is moving at four different speeds. Your workforce plan has to work in all of them.
From 22–25 September, Brunel and Taylor Hopkinson will be at WindEnergy Hamburg 2026— Hall B6 | Booth B6.451, connecting with leading developers, operators and supply chain firms to talk about the people and skills needed for the next phase of wind growth, from critical hires to major project build-outs.
Across Europe, the wind market is moving at very different speeds. The UK has just awarded a record 8.4 GW of offshore wind capacity. Germany has pushed its 2026 tenders into 2027 while it redesigns them around CfDs. The Netherlands has moved its 21 GW target back to 2032. Poland is building out the largest pipeline in the Baltic.
Same continent. Four completely different workforce problems.
Some of our clients are staffing construction and commissioning teams faster than the market can supply them. Others are holding experienced people together through a gap in the tender calendar they didn't plan for. Most are doing both at once, in different countries, in the same quarter. Whichever one you're dealing with, it comes down to the same thing: finding the right people, in the right market, at the right moment. That's what Brunel and Taylor Hopkinson will be in Hamburg to talk about.
If you're at WindEnergy Hamburg, let's talk about what you're building and the people you need to deliver it. Or just come say hello.
Meet us at Hall B6 | Booth B6.451.
Our wind specialists work with developers, EPC and installation contractors, OEMs and the supply chain across Europe — the people who will actually be staffing your next project. Book a meeting with our specialists ahead of the event

In wind, that's Taylor Hopkinson's specialism. Recruiting in offshore wind since the sector's first commercial projects, and 19,000+ clean energy and sustainability specialists placed for clients worldwide — long enough to have placed people across much of the fleet now operating in the North Sea, the Baltic and the Irish Sea.
