You will lead complex engineering packages, make critical decisions that impact project safety and cost, and mentor the next generation of engineers. This role requires a blend of deep technical expertise, proven project leadership, and exceptional client-facing skills.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Product Ownership

• Act as technical lead / design authority for offshore wind turbine towers and interfaces with foundations, including fixed-bottom and floating structures
• Tailor and optimise project-specific variants, from concept and FEED through detailed design, serial production, and installation support.
• Own technical integrity and design approval of critical calculations, specifications, drawings, and product documentation.
• Define, maintain, and govern product design philosophies, analysis methodologies, and global models in line with international codes and standards (e.g., DNV, IEC, ISO, API, Eurocodes) and internal standards.
• Lead resolution of complex, non-standard technical challenges, including extreme and fatigue load cases, soil–structure interaction, and coupled dynamic behaviour.
• Drive continuous design optimization and standardization to improve manufacturability, scalability, and cost competitiveness (LCoE).

Project Execution & External Interfaces

• Serve as the primary technical interface with customers (developers), certification bodies, and internal manufacturing, procurement, and installation teams.
• Support commercial and technical negotiations, ensuring product offerings meet customer requirements while protecting technical and commercial margins.
• Identify and manage technical risks across product development and project execution, ensuring robust mitigation strategies are embedded in design.
• Support bid and tender activities through preparation, review, and approval of technical proposals and deviations.

Manufacturing, Supply Chain & Installation Integration

• Ensure designs are optimized for serial fabrication, transport, and installation, with clear consideration of supply chain capabilities and constraints.
• Work closely with manufacturing, quality, and procurement teams to resolve fabrication issues and manage non-conformances.
• Provide technical support during installation and commissioning phases, including resolution of site-related design issues.

Innovation & Product Strategy

• Lead R&D and product development initiatives, including next-generation fixed-bottom and floating foundation solutions.
• Contribute to product roadmaps, modularization strategies, and platform-based design approaches.
• Represent the OEM in industry working groups, standardization committees, and key technical forums.

Qualifications & Experience

Essential

• Master’s degree or PhD in Civil, Structural, Mechanical, or Offshore Engineering.
• 8+ years’ experience in offshore wind support structure design within an OEM, contractor, or closely related environment.
• Strong working knowledge of DNV and IEC standards, with hands-on experience applying them to serial product design.
• Expert-level proficiency in global analysis and FEA tools for integrated, coupled analyses.
• Demonstrated experience leading engineering teams in a product- or program-based environment.
• Excellent communication skills across engineering, manufacturing, and commercial stakeholders.

Desirable

• Experience with both fixed-bottom (monopile, jacket) and floating offshore wind foundation products.
• Proven track record in design for manufacture, assembly, transport, and installation (DfMA/T&I).
• Programming skills (Python, MATLAB) for automation, parametric design, and product scalability.
• Experience supporting multiple projects using standardized product platforms.
• Exposure to full product lifecycle management, including in-service support and design updates.
