Borssele, Hollandse Kust Projects Bring Quanta to the Netherlands

International recruitment company Quanta Consultancy Services has launched its subsidiary in the Netherlands, as the offshore wind activity in the Borssele and Hollandse Kust zones is upcoming, along with the country’s expansions plans for energy from waste, tidal and solar energy. 

UK-headquartered Quanta, which operates within the renewable energy, life sciences, and ICT industries, pointed out that it has a strong client base in the Benelux region, with its energy division providing recruitment consultancy services exclusively to the renewables industry since 2002.

The company said that since 2002, it has supported multiple on- and offshore wind farms, tidal, hydro and solar projects in over 25 countries. The support and service has covered the complete project timeline, from planning and design, construction, commissioning through to operations and maintenance.

Richard Allen, Senior Global Business Manager – Renewable Energy at Quanta Consultancy Services said: “With our presence in Delft, we can further contribute to increasing the skills set of the local renewable energy candidate network, providing our proven added value services to both educate and motivate the graduate and qualified local talent pool in the Netherland’s commitment to achieve at least 40% greenhouse gas reduction by 2030.”

Stephen Trigg, CEO & Founder of Quanta Consultancy Services said: “This is an exciting period for the renewable energy industry in the Netherlands and I look forward to Quanta contributing to the success of these new projects. In addition, our added presence will provide greater flexibility when working with our clients in the Life Sciences industry within the Benelux region.”

The two sets of two commercial offshore wind sites at the Borssele zone have been already assigned to the tender winners, with the winner of the demonstration site to be announced by the end of April. As for the Hollandse Kust zone, the Netherlands has recently awarded rights for the first two sites to Vattenfall, who will build and operate the project without the government’s financial support.
