Case Study: RES (world’s largest independent renewable energy company) achieves 80%+ onboarding time savings and improved worker safety with GoContractor

How RES used GoContractor to Improve Safety and Saved Time on Wind Farm Orientations

RES, the world’s largest independent renewable energy company with a 13 GW portfolio, faced a growing challenge managing a large permanent and contractor workforce across 44 often-remote wind farm sites. Ensuring workers held the right certificates and completed site-specific safety training was slow and paper-based — about 6 hours per site per week (13,728 hours/year) — so RES implemented GoContractor’s online contractor management platform to streamline orientations, document and qualification management.

GoContractor delivered mobile-friendly online orientations, mandatory chapter quizzes, document tracking and a Traffic Light System for quick worker-status checks, plus responsive support. As a result RES cut average orientation time to about 1 hour per site per week (2,288 hours/year), achieving over 80% time savings, more reliable data for site access decisions, and stronger, more scalable safety controls.
