Nordex Group

Since starting with Nordex 4 years ago my career has grown with two promotions in a short period of time. If you're a hard worker, prove your skills and remain loyal the growth will come at Nordex.

The Nordex team is a large family and most of my colleagues work well together. Sometimes difficult discussion and conversations must be had; however, we work together on positive solutions.

Nordex Pros:
-The company is growing rapidly on a global level so there's opportunities for growth that may not appear immediately. 
-The company understands the importance of a work-life balance and encourages it. 
-Much of the leadership team has been with Nordex for 8+ years which allows deep integration into the business.
-The German and Spanish culture of Nordex bleeds into the US division and encourages a similar work-life balance. Time off is encouraged and if you need a mental health day it's NOT frowned upon.
-Travel positions offer some of the best benefits in the industry (high per diem rate, etc.)

Nordex Cons:
-Things change at the speed of light, so you must be open to change and a fast paced environment. This is true for most renewable energy  businesses. 
-The training is some of the best in the class; however, the US team lacks the same training as our colleagues in Europe. This is part of the growing pains for any organization. 

I have just recently become part of the Nordex USA family. The process began with a screening interview, then a phone interview with the hiring manager, ultimately leading to an in person interview with the hiring manager, Customer Account Manager, and HR Manager. All travel was booked and paid for by Nordex with flexibility of flight choices and dates that accommodated both parties. I had received an offer of employment that included your typical background check and fit for duty physical. Upon my start date I drove out to the Corporate HQ which again was all set up by Nordex with outstanding hotel accommodations at a nearly new Homewood Suites with a kitchenette. Day one; cell phone, corporate credit card, and computer were all ready for my arrival. Nordex took the time and energy to go over the applications, equipment, and needed training from the start to ensure a smooth as can be transition into the company. Nordex has that small company feel and personable relationship with their employees that I particularly value more than anything. I look forward to my continued employment and growing with Nordex. I would recommend working here.

Nordex Jonesboro is a great place to work. We are in a volitile industry with wind being a non mature market in the U.S. We are often challenged to perform the next to impossible and have fun trying to make that happen. There is a certain level of stress involved in a start up company as processes and goals are still moving and won't become firm until sometime in years 4 or 5.
We have a great team environment with accomplished people with a can do attitude. I have been pleased to be a part of Nordex's core management team that worked in Germany for most of 2010 and had the opporunity to develop the infrastructure and implement from ground zero.

Lots of hard work and dedication needed. Job well done by all, something to feel good about above the daily rewards of working and being part of a team.

When I started working for nordex, everything was great but, things are only as great as your boss.  When we transitioned to our current manager on site, he made things very difficult for just about everyone.  He along with the lead tech were ok with resorting to retaliation tactics.  Not a good work environment.  Regional manager was no help either.  Just be cautious when applying for the site in Rio hondo, tx.   They are all ok with retaliation tactics and quite honestly did not care about the well being of site employees.  For god sakes the lead and manager almost got two techs severely injured or killed, and then tried to blame the technicians doing the job. The manager tried writing up the nordex tech but a text message showed that the tech was going off of the instruction of our lead tech.  I loved working for nordex but the managment is a cancer on my previous site.

Nordex USA is a great place to work. Our global presence is huge, but you definitely do not just feel like a number here. Departments work close together on projects and collaboration and every opinion matters. I love the flexibility that we have with our work life balance and all of the fun group activities we do in the office from celebrating anniversaries each month to company outings in the summer. Managers truly like to see their employees succeed and thus work on development plans to get you where you want to be! 

Overall, this is a great company that values their employees. The bonus program for all employees is a GREAT benefit, and the company's 401k match is unbeatable!!!

When you go through your initial orientation in Iowa it seems great. They preach safety.  But unfortunately  when you return to your home site it's vastly different. You are put in dangerous  situations with zero technical training. No one wants to show or teach you anything because " they never got shown".
   You are up tower for 12+ hours with no breaks. I was sent to clean blades without training and without an attendanton my first day.  No one wears ppe up tower and if you do you will be mocked. Management wants to be hands off and refuses to deal with any negative aspects of the sites. Moral is very low and new people are detested.
  If you value you sanity  and life stay  far away from this company.

My experience with Nordex USA was with the construction department. I worked on an Acciona site. Upon accepting the salary position I was told that the maximum number of hours I'd work was a firm 50. I consistently worked 80 hrs/wk. My direct manager was aware that the lack of rest was effecting my health, but made no effort to adjust the schedule. Rather than risk my safety or the safety of others on site, I resigned.
I stay in touch with my previous coworkers. They are still overworked and exhausted. It's an unsafe situation. The company culture is driven by the bottom line. There is no concern for the well being of their personnel.

I have recently been hired by Nordex Acciona so all I can speak for is the onboarding process. The Initial conversations went well and gave me the feeling that this company has the values of a lot smaller company. Everyone I spoke with seemed to be very excited to communicate with me and gave me the feeling that I wont be just another cog in the machine. Nordex set me up in a very nice hotel and has paid for all travel, lodging and PPE right out of the gate. Benefits are at or above industry standard and pay was very competitive if not out right better than most other large companies!

Very busy with readying equipment for job sites.  Work by myself, unless I am able to pull people from other areas for assistance.  Many phone calls, and issues to resolve.  The culture at the workplace has not been good since the work from home policy.  My job does not permit me to work from home.  There is very little comaradery.  The hardest part is all the stress and the physical labor, plus arguments with management who are not suited for the role they possess.  It is most enjoyable when able to travel for work.

Good company to work if highly interested towards Wind Turbine Industry, Lots of technologies to explore and learn, Being an OEM you will get expert knowledge for Wind turbines. Lots of business improvements to be made. Very young management and due to merger, there are problems in terms of ownership and migration.
