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.

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.
