How It Works

Getting Started With the App

We would like everyone interested in the Offshore Wind Industry to take full advantage of the Union Worx App.

Access to this App is limited to those individuals that have an ACTIVE and up to date WINDA ID that includes the Basic Safety Training Standard including Sea Survival for Offshore Wind. (IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE TRAINING, YOU WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THIS APP).

This shall include: First Aid, Manual Handling, Fire Awareness, Working at Heights and Sea Survival

Information on GWO BST (Basic Safety Training) requirements can be found here:

• Only One username/password per person. If you can't log in, do not create another account. There is an email feature to recover your password.
• It is your responsibility to maintain your log-in information
• Make sure your personal information entered through the app is accurate and up to date.

Joining The Offshore Labor Pool "Book 1"

• Initial sign-up for the Book is limited to those with a WINDA ID that includes active and up to date credentials for BST (Basic Safety Training) for offshore wind.
• All members will need to log-in to use the online bid system. 
• It is your responsibility to maintain your log-in information.
• ONLY ONE (1) username/password per person. If you can't log-in, DO NOT create another account. 
• This "Book 1" shall serve as a labor pool of members that have the BST training complete with a WINDA ID.
• Order of placement on this "Book 1" does not imply order of receiving an available call. It will be at the discretion of the Local's Referral Agent from the Local posting the job to choose the applicants. 
• The purpose of this "Book 1" is to allow all members to see the call and then bid on it if they are interested and available. 
• This is not a traditional Book system that most are accustomed to. This is serving as a pool of interested candidates that can see available Offshore Wind calls and allow them to show active interest in being contacted by the referring local for possible placement.

Bidding & Taking Jobs

BIDDING IN THIS APP = INTERESTED NOT AN ACTUAL REFERRAL FOR JOB

• Job calls for the next business day are posted by 5:00pm. 
• Applicants who are registered on the out-of-work list may log in and bid for jobs that they qualify for. If multiple jobs are bid, the applicant must select a priority order. Make sure you CONFIRM each bid.
• Applicants may view and/or amend their bid at any time up to the 8:00am job call cutoff. (for all calls)
• All applicants who placed a bid can be notified of their status via email and/or push notifications. 
• A BID IS A BINDING COMMITMENT TO TAKE THE CALL. DO NOT BID THE JOB IF YOU CANNOT COMPLETE THE REFERRAL AND TAKE THE CALL.
• All applicants selected for employment must report to the Hall to receive their referral with ALL REQUIRED CREDENTIALS IN HAND.
