Overview

• Roles targeted are primarily shared support functions in human resources, project management, finance and quality.
• Union representatives met the French management on Tuesday in Paris to seek an expert review and longer timelines.
• GE Vernova said it informs employees first and will comply with legal consultations before any plan is finalized or implemented.
• The action follows 740 European job cuts in the offshore wind unit in 2024; the company employs about 25,000 in Europe, including roughly 8,000 in France and 1,300 in Belfort.
