Vestas- #1 in Modern Energy

Ever run around as a kid with a windmill in your hand, amazed by the motion and color? If that was you as a kid then Portland has the company for you as an adult. Vestas, not to be confused with another cool Portland based company, Vesta, is the worlds leading supplier of wind power turbines. They are headquartered in Denmark with 1,400+ employees world wide and their US headquarters right here in Portland...the heart of "green land".

Vestas has been on a hiring spree lately. In the past few years I have had at least 3 headhunters approach me with different opportunities. No wonder though...their web site boasts a 28% market share and they are the market leader. And if I am reading their financial statments correctly, they did over €3.5 billion in 2006 and are projecting over €4 billion for 2007. Yup, you did your math correctly...they do over $5 billion USD.

Ready to go to work? The jobs page on their site has about 10 current openings in Portland ranging from legal council, business development, customer service, and engineering.
