Service > Global Service Commercial > Covento If you have ever wondered how your skillsets can be a part of the climate solution and grow your career - Covento is for you. We need people that are willing to roll up their sleeves, creative problem solve, and bring the efficiencies and simplicities of technology to a space that is long overdue for it.
For too long the ordering and procurement process within the renewable energy space has been fragmented and lack transparency. At Covento (by Vestas), we aim to change that. Our goal: a place where all buyers in the renewable space (field engineers, procurement professionals, O&M professionals, etc), can find everything from consumables to highly technical parts and services across multiple sellers. We will do this through advanced search capabilities, a streamlined payment experience, easy reconciliations, and centralised delivery notifications. We know this will be hard. But we believe if we can turn the cumbersome into transparent, it will result in improved economics for our customers and Covento can contribute to move the needle in solving our climate crisis. We also believe this is a multi-billion-euro opportunity. We know that many don't think you can do good for the world and make money - but at Covento we think otherwise and plan to prove it.
