Approximately 250 employees (source: ycombinator.com). Revenue doubled in 2024, though exact figures for 2023-2025 are not publicly disclosed as it remains private (source: aerones.com).

What They Do

Aerones specializes in innovative robotics solutions for wind turbine maintenance, inspection, repair, cleaning, and coating. Utilizing a patented ground-controlled winch system, their technology allows for climbing blades and towers, significantly enhancing operational efficiency by enabling tasks to be performed up to four times faster with ten times less idle time compared to traditional methods (source: aerones.com). Their core services encompass a wide range of offerings, including lightning protection system testing, visual and non-destructive inspections, leading edge repairs, painting, ice-phobic coatings, and AI-driven predictive maintenance analytics (source: aerones.com). Aerones targets onshore wind farms globally, with ongoing development of offshore prototypes that aim to achieve significant efficiency gains while reducing the need for vessel use (source: aerones.com). Their clientele includes major operators representing over 50% of global wind capacity, such as NextEra, GE Vernova, Vestas, and Siemens Gamesa, focusing on large-scale wind farm operators across Europe, North America, and South America (source: aerones.com). By leveraging certified robots that can operate in challenging weather conditions, Aerones enhances turbine efficiency, extends asset life, and reduces operational costs by at least 40%, while also halving CO2 emissions during services (source: balticvc.com).

Projects & Track Record

Since its inception in 2018, Aerones has serviced over 10,000 turbines and 30,000 blades across 27-30+ countries, contributing to the generation of an additional 400,000 MWh of clean electricity and preventing the emission of 165,000 tonnes of CO2 since 2020 (source: aerones.com). Notable projects include comprehensive lightning protection system inspections and drainage hole cleaning on 14 turbines at the Red Dirt Wind Plant and 17 turbines at the Thunder Ranch Wind Plant in Oklahoma, USA, for Enel Green Power, which were recognized as operationally and economically successful (source: openinnovability.enel.com). Additionally, Aerones conducted lightning conductivity tests on 100 turbines at the Seymour wind farm in Texas for AREVON, achieving an average of three turbines serviced per day (source: aerones.com). The company is currently engaged in a €6 million Global Framework Agreement with Enel Green Power for the RoBoost Program, which aims to deploy robotized services across its global wind fleet, while also developing offshore prototypes with EU CINEA funding to target a reduction of 6,423,000 tonnes of CO2 (source: cinea.ec.europa.eu). With partnerships including GE Vernova, NextEra, and Vestas, Aerones is expanding its geographic presence and operational capabilities through its new hub in Texas (source: aerones.com). In 2024, the company successfully tested its robotics on offshore turbines, marking a significant milestone in its entry into sea-based maintenance (source: latvia.eu).

Recent Developments

In June 2025, Aerones successfully raised $62 million in an oversubscribed funding round led by Activate Capital and S2G, with participation from Carbon Equity, Overlap Holdings, and existing investors. This funding is aimed at supporting market expansion, AI and R&D initiatives, manufacturing, and service enhancements, following a year in which the company tripled its revenue (source: balticvc.com). In 2024, Aerones not only doubled its revenue but also expanded its operations to a new hub in Dallas, Texas, and appointed Dr. Ashley Crowther as Chief Commercial Officer to enhance turbine reliability expertise (source: aerones.com). In 2023, the company signed a €6 million Global Framework Agreement with Enel Green Power for the deployment of the RoBoost Program across its wind fleet, following a successful $30 million funding round (source: openinnovability.enel.com). Earlier funding rounds included $9 million raised in April 2022, which helped to bolster its operational capabilities (source: ycombinator.com). Significant milestones achieved include servicing over 1,300 turbines by 2022 and obtaining certifications for its robotics compatible with major turbine models (source: youtube.com).

Aerones is actively hiring across various roles, including robotics engineering, AI and data analytics, manufacturing, field services, sales, and commercial positions. The company's rapid expansion has created numerous opportunities in hardware for inspections and repairs, as well as the development of a new AI-driven customer platform for predictive maintenance (source: aerones.com). The primary hiring focus is on its headquarters in Riga, Latvia, which serves as a Northern Europe hub for inspections, cleaning, coating, and repairs, alongside its operations in Texas, USA, particularly in Dallas, to support U.S. growth (source: aerones.com). The company culture is characterized by rapid scaling and a commitment to workforce development in the clean energy sector, with a focus on short technician training periods compared to traditional roles (source: aerones.com).

Job Description

Aerones is a global leader in robotic wind turbine maintenance. Our autonomous rope-descent robots perform blade inspections, cleaning, and repairs at heights that are inaccessible to humans - making renewable energy infrastructure safer, faster, and more cost-effective to maintain. Headquartered in Riga, Latvia, we operate across Europe, the US, and beyond, with a mission to accelerate the energy transition.

The Role

We are growing fast and need a Senior Recruiter to own full-cycle hiring across all departments -from engineering and operations to commercial and corporate functions within Latvia and US Operations. You will be a strategic partner to hiring managers, shape our talent acquisition processes, and help build the team that is redefining wind energy maintenance.

What You Will Do

  • Own the full hiring cycle from brief to offer, spanning multiple countries and business functions.
  • Keep talent pipelines warm and well-stocked so we are never starting from scratch when a new role opens.
  • Hunt for great people before we need them - through LinkedIn, communities, events, referrals, and channels others have not thought of yet.
  • Get deep into each team's reality: what they're building, who they need, what the market looks like, and what it will take to close.
  • Keep the process moving - push back when needed, align stakeholders, and ensure every candidate gets a clear and timely experience.
  • Grow our presence in the talent communities that matter - universities, professional networks, and niche industry circles across our key markets.
  • Put Aerones on the map as a destination employer - tell our story at events, online, and through every touchpoint candidate experience.
  • Use data to understand what is working: time-to-fill, pipeline quality, source effectiveness - and act on what you find.
  • Pitch in on HR team projects beyond recruiting - onboarding, engagement, culture-building - because great talent strategy goes beyond filling seats.
  • Work closely with our HR team to move the needle on our broader people agenda as Aerones grows.

Requirements

  • Several years of hands-on full-cycle recruiting experience in a fast-paced, internationally operating company.
  • A history of hiring across borders - different countries, different functions, different talent landscapes.
  • A real professional network you can activate, not just a high connection count.
  • You spot opportunities and make moves - you do not wait to be told what to do next.
  • Genuine enjoyment of building relationships - staying in people's orbit, not just filling roles and moving on.
  • The backbone to hold your ground with a hiring manager moving too fast, and the patience to nudge one who is stalling.
  • You know how to find the person who is not actively looking - and how to get them interested in what Aerones is building.
  • You follow what is happening in talent markets and use that knowledge to plan ahead, not just react.
  • You handle competing priorities without dropping the ball and stay composed when things shift quickly.
  • Strong English communication, written and spoken.

Benefits

We believe great work starts with feeling valued and supported. That's why we are building an thoughtful, competitive benefits and perks to help you thrive - professionally and personally - through every step of your Career with us. You will be eligible for:
