Working on the NeuConnect converter station at Fedderwarden? Tell us your crew size, dates and trade package and we will source long-stay housing across Wilhelmshaven, Schortens, Jever and Varel.
We arrange accommodation for contractors in Wilhelmshaven on a project basis, priced for the length of the stay rather than a nightly rate.
NeuConnect links the German and British power markets with a 1.4GW, 525kV direct current cable of more than 725km. The German converter station sits at Fedderwarden on the western edge of Wilhelmshaven and connects into the TenneT grid. The project cost is £2.4bn, or about €2.8bn, with Siemens Energy building both converter stations and Prysmian laying the cable.
The converter halls, 24m high and 70m wide, reached full height in 2026 and mechanical and electrical fit-out started in September 2026, with cladding still under way and commissioning planned for 2028. That means specialist electrical, mechanical and commissioning crews on site for long stretches. Fedderwarden is a village a short drive from the city centre, and teams base in Wilhelmshaven, Schortens, Jever and Varel.
We source long-stay accommodation for teams with confirmed work on the NeuConnect converter station, matched to the site access west of Wilhelmshaven.
We assess practical locations across Wilhelmshaven, Schortens, Jever and Varel based on your actual site access, commute, crew size, parking and accommodation standards rather than a generic city search.
We can source for specialist rotations, staggered arrivals, multi-month assignments and extensions as packages move through the programme, subject to live availability.
We look for accommodation with kitchens, laundry, reliable WiFi, parking and suitable bedroom configurations for sustained assignments.
