Projects
Shell Holland Hydrogen I
Shell, together with its contractors and vendors, is developing Europe’s first large-scale renewable hydrogen (HH1), strategically located in the Port of Rotterdam, Netherlands. The approximately 200 MW facility is expected to begin commissioning in late 2026, with production ramping up in 2027 to around 60 tons of renewable hydrogen per day — powered by offshore wind energy from the North Sea.
Once fully operational, HH1 will stand as the largest commercial renewable hydrogen production facility in Europe, playing a pivotal role in partially decarbonising Shell’s refinery operations and contributing to the EU’s broader clean energy ambitions.
Shell awarded Bilfinger to manage and execute various project scopes for the Holland Hydrogen I development. As a trusted specialist recruitment agency, Pinto.Services supported Bilfinger by sourcing and placing the skilled personnel needed to deliver critical work packages on site — including quality assurance and control for E&I installations, construction and installation of cable tray systems, and support for lighting, fire, and gas systems across the plant.
For Pinto.Services, placing skilled professionals on projects like Shell Holland Hydrogen I reflects our core mission — matching exceptional talent with the projects that are shaping tomorrow’s energy landscape.
One Dyas N05 - A
The N05-A project is part of Gateway to the Ems (GEMS), a joint initiative of ONE-Dyas, Discover Exploration, and EBN, located on the border between Germany and the Netherlands. N05-A is the North Sea’s first gas production platform designed for electrification from the start of operations, powered by the nearby Riffgat offshore wind farm — a landmark achievement in low-emission offshore energy production.
Built to the highest offshore standards, the platform integrates advanced processing systems with a strong focus on safety, efficiency, and low-emission operations.
Pinto.Services supported Bilfinger during the topside construction at HSM Schiedam yard, supplying skilled E&I technicians, quality control engineers, and steelworkers. As a specialist recruitment agency, we ensured Bilfinger had the right professionals in place to deliver this complex offshore project on time and to specification. Our ability to deliver the right talent, at the right time, to the right project ensured Bilfinger could maintain momentum, uphold quality standards, and meet the demands of one of the North Sea’s most technically challenging builds.
WarmtelinQ
WarmtelinQ is a landmark heat infrastructure initiative developed by Gasunie, designed to transport residual heat from the Port of Rotterdam to cities across South Holland — playing a vital role in the Dutch energy transition and significantly reducing CO₂ emissions.
Construction on the first phase began in spring 2022. The section from Vlaardingen to The Hague is set to be commissioned in autumn 2025, bringing the first flows of residual heat to households in the region. A second phase, extending the network from Rijswijk to Leiden, is planned to start construction in 2025 with delivery expected by mid-2027.
Pinto Services contributed to this impactful project by supplying skilled E&I Technicians and Steelworkers, supporting key electrical, instrumentation, and mechanical installation works. It’s projects like these that remind us why we do what we do — connecting qualified technical professionals with the infrastructure that shapes a more sustainable future. We are proud to support the energy transition, one skilled professional at a time.
