They’ll both challenge you and support you along the way.

Being ambitious at Ørsted means working together to achieve results – and we’re an ambitious company. But we work in a sustainable way, placing high value on health, wellbeing, and flexibility. You’ll experience trust from your leader and your team to take responsibility and make decisions.

Our guiding principles

At Ørsted, our five guiding principles serve as a compass for the way we work as a company.

We’re passionate about what we do and proud of what we achieve

Flexible working

 
At Ørsted, we believe in a sustainable working life. We strive to support all employees with flexible working arrangements wherever possible.  This means we provide the conditions for you to perform and nurture your wellbeing – at home and the office, through the changing demands of your life. 

Our workforce is global. We carry out diverse roles in diverse environments. If you’re based in an office, you’ll agree with your leader where and when you’ll collaborate with your colleagues in person, and when you’ll work from home. While we are flexible in where we work, the site and the office provide an important social environment where we can connect, collaborate and deliver. The key is to enable you to balance your personal and professional needs.

We’re always open to discuss any specific requirements you have around work and what you need to succeed. 

Wellbeing at work

At Ørsted, we want to create a healthy, safe, and inclusive workplace. We believe psychological safety is as important as physical safety, and our culture is rooted in trust and respect for our colleagues. 

Ørsted offers competitive health and wellbeing benefits and promotes a sustainable working life within the pillars of balance, care, and energy.
