Once famous for its thriving fishing industry, Grimsby’s port has allowed it to foster an exciting new industry on its docks. Working with industry, the coastal town has developed a vision focused on offshore wind and the renewable energy sector.
Typical roles:
- Administration
- Engineering & construction
- Operations and technicians
- Procurement
Today, we’re championing the Humber as a blueprint for green development. Home to the world’s largest operations and maintenance facility and the world’s largest offshore wind farms, Hornsea One and Hornsea Two, the Humber is leading the way in offshore wind.
We’re committed to creating well-paid, high-skilled, and long-term jobs in coastal communities around the UK, and helping to raise the aspirations of the young people in those areas. In partnership with National charity OnSide Youth Zones, we’ve donated GBP 1 million pounds to support Grimsby Youth Zone, a dedicated facility for 8-19-year-olds, or up to 25 for those with additional needs, that will offer long-term opportunities to learn and develop skills through positive activities and support from peers, youth workers, and partner organisations.

Building sustainable communities
We want to have a positive and lasting impact on the communities in which we operate. Through our East Coast Community Fund, we’ve awarded over GBP 4 million to community and environmental projects in coastal areas of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and North Norfolk since the Fund launched in 2016.
Our office
Located on Royal Dock adjacent to the iconic Grimsby dock tower, our East Coast Hub is a light, modern, and open-plan office space with a close and collaborative working culture. Here, the atmosphere is one of passion and positivity – we look out for one another and there is a sense that we’re doing something good for the local community and our planet.
The space features an on-site canteen, lounge with table tennis, showers and changing facilities, bike storage, and free secure parking. Our flexible working environment offers multiple meeting rooms, quiet working areas, hot-desking, soundproof meeting pods, and height-adjustable desks. Our sports and social committee frequently organises funded social events, adding to the fun and social atmosphere at the hub.
As well as our East Coast hub in Grimsby, we have our Brightlingsea office near Colchester on the Essex Coast. Open since 2010, the office is home to around 20 staff – mostly operations and wind technicians.
