Compensation & Benefits Specialist (6-month project position)

Help shape a global pay structure and bring transparency to technicians worldwide

At Global Wind Service, we’re on a mission to bring clarity, fairness, and structure to how we reward our global technician workforce. As we prepare to implement the EU Pay Transparency Directive, we’re looking for a passionate and data-driven Reward Specialist / Compensation & Benefits Specialist to drive one of our most important HR initiatives.

In this 6-month position, you will play a central and crucial role designing a global salary architecture and compensation framework – with real, lasting impact on how technicians are recognized and rewarded across countries, cultures, and legal systems.

Your key responsibilities

• Country-specific pay compliance
  Collect and document national regulations on wages, working hours, leave, premiums, and statutory benefits across countries. Ensure full legal compliance with local requirements and the EU Pay Transparency Directive, and present the information in layman’s terms.

• Global job classification
  Develop a consistent salary architecture for site-based roles (e.g. Technicians, Team Leaders, Site Managers) and establish experience levels that can be applied globally to support fair and transparent progression.

• Localized salary bands
  Analyze historical pay data and develop fair, country-specific salary ranges by role and level. Clearly present total compensation packages in a structured, understandable way that supports equity and transparency.

• Cross-border compensation model
  Create a scalable framework for international assignments, including location-based pay adjustments and mobility differentials. Ensure internal fairness and external competitiveness through transparent logic and communication.

• Role-based allowances
  Define simplify and standardize add-ons for special working conditions, such as offshore work, night and weekend shifts, team leader responsibilities, and cross-border roles. Set clear criteria for eligibility and consistent application across countries and projects.

• Total reward transparency
  Link and quantify the value of all reward elements – including non-monetary benefits – and support the creation of dashboards and visual tools (e.g. Power BI) that enable simple comparisons across countries, roles, and levels.

What you bring

• 3–5+ years of experience in Compensation & Benefits or Reward.

• A track record of working in international settings or a larger matrix organization – ideally with blue-collar or technical roles.

• Strong analytical and structuring skills – with the ability to simplify complexity.

• Proficiency in English – written and spoken.

• Familiarity with the EU Pay Transparency Directive is an advantage but not required.

• A self-driven way of working and an active stakeholder approach.

What we offer

• A high-impact project where your work will shape how we compensate and recognize technical talent globally.

• A collaborative and international work environment.

• Flexibility to work remotely or from one of our office locations in Denmark, Romania, Poland or UK.

• The opportunity to make a lasting impact on fairness and transparency in a truly global organization.
