Based on 138 job ads tracked on windspellers.com since 16 Oct 2026. Not the whole market. One ad = 1, whatever the number of positions. Company names are never counted.
How we count. Every wind job ad published on the windspellers.com job board is counted once, whatever the number of positions. Ads stay in the history after they close, so months can be compared. Each ad is sorted by discipline, work type, turbine maker, country, onshore/offshore and seniority from what the ad itself says; when an ad doesn't say, it is counted as "Not stated" and shown as such. Company names and contact details are never counted.

We only started tracking job ads on 16 October, so this outlook rests on very little data and we rate nothing High.
The projects in this month's news (floating pilots, large UK offshore farms, a new market) are early and not expected to hire before about 2028, and most crews will move across from other projects.
For now, keep GWO BST, Slinger Signaller, offshore medical and HV authorisation valid, and apply to the current ads for installation, commissioning and service work, mainly in the UK, Germany and Taiwan.
