Jobs sustainable energy engineer

With a job at LM Glasfiber you contribute to creating sustainable energy for thousands of people worldwide. We ascribe our leading international position to our highly skilled and motivated employees.

Career at LM Glasfiber

By joining the LM Glasfiber family you have the chance to influence the future of sustainable wind energy. As we are growing at an impressive pace, we have many jobs available. Especially engineers that would like to work within the sustainable energy industry are highly needed.

LM Glasfiber blades are specifically designed to match our customers’ individual needs. Our new blades are developed in close cooperation between our specialist engineers and the development departments of our customers. It is a tough job, but always worth while. Since our engineers and our other employees know that we contribute to creating sustainable energy. We work towards the same common goal - to find the best possible solution taking all factors into consideration, and to minimize the cost of wind power. We never limit ourselves to the design of the actual blade we also take into account how the blades influence the rest of the components of the wind turbine. We have a comprehensive quality system where we evaluate and approve the rotor blade solution for further development after each stage. We base all new development projects on our project plan consisting of five well-defined stages. This is also the way we can live up to the customers’ expectations that we will meet the agreed deadlines.

Welcome to LM Glasfiber - Blades for the wind turbines of the future
LM Glasfiber is the world's leading supplier of blades for wind turbines, and the only supplier that operates on a global basis. We have achieved this strong position in a business distinctive for international growth via a consistent focus on research, product development, quality and excellent customer service.

Blades play a crucial role in wind turbines - their design is crucial to the efficient exploitation of energy from the wind. LM Glasfiber blades are currently mounted on more than one in three wind turbines throughout the world.

We have produced and sold more than 84,000 blades since 1978, corresponding to a capacity of 19,860 MW, or the annual electricity consumption of approximately 19 million European households.

Our production capacity measured in MW is the largest in the industry, and we have factories in four major regions: Northern Europe, Southern Europe, North America and Asia. Our factories are located right in the most important wind energy markets - or at least close by. This is to make sure our customers benefit from rapid, efficient, on-time delivery.

Full-scale testing - proven reliability
At LM Glasfiber, a new blade type is not put into serial production until it has been tested for 20 years of operation. This is to ensure the reliability of the blades throughout the service life of the turbine. First, a static test confirms that the blade can handle extreme loads. The blade is then subjected to fatigue testing in a so-called dynamic test in both directions, i.e. flapwise and edgewise. The blade undergoes a level of fatigue corresponding to 20 years of operation. However, a further static test is carried out to ensure that the blade is able to withstand extreme loads even towards the end of its service life.

Reliable blades
The fatigue tests go well beyond the certification requirements of the blades. They are our way of assuring our customers that the blades will operate reliably throughout the service life of the wind turbine.

Reliable lightning protection
In addition to in-house blade strength tests, we regularly use some of the most advanced high-current laboratories in the world to test our lightning protection system. These tests provide valuable information about what happens when lightning strikes wind turbine blades. LM Glasfiber lightning protection is based on this expertise, which has also enabled us to document safety to a very high standard. Our lightning protection system withstands the effects of up to 98% of all lightning strikes and is certified in accordance with CEI/IEC protection level 1.

The LM DiverterStrip has recently been thoroughly tested to ensure that it can extend the lightning intercept area and lead the lightning down to the lightning receptor.
