About Pondera

Pondera Consult was founded in 2007. As a relatively young company, founded on a wealth of experience, we contribute with our clients to sustainable solutions to energy, climate and environmental issues. This includes large and small projects in the fields of solar energy and onshore and offshore wind energy, hydrogen and battery energy storage. Offshore wind energy is going to be the key factor in the energy transition worldwide and in Europe and the Netherlands in particular. We are involved in an increasing number of offshore wind energy projects worldwide as a consultant, as a partner of large energy companies and as an investor in our own projects.

We are growing!

We are looking for people to grow with us and help realise Pondera’s ambitions in wind energy projects. This particularly relates to the phases following the initial developments of the lots on which wind farms may be built. For example, you work with the contractors on the plan regarding the logistics and installation of a wind farm, or you are involved in coordinating the contractors and/or turbine supplier during project implementation. Besides working together in the client’s project team, you will work closely internally with highly experienced offshore professionals from Pondera.

On our projects, you will be part of the Contracting, Construction and Operations team. On a day-to-day basis, you will not stand alone and will cooperate a lot with colleagues from team Environment and Consenting, for example in the field of permits and the Technical Team where data analysis and modelling takes place.
