Your technical focus area will be on the delivery of wind turbines and davit cranes in our construction projects. You will help negotiate turbine supply agreements and follow up on risks in relation to quality and delivery of mechanical components during the construction phase until commissioning. You will have a close collaboration with the technical project manager for the wind turbine delivery and the technical specialists for the individual components among the colleagues in WTG Mechanical. Furthermore, your key duties will be to: •check that the wind turbine and davit crane supply agreements are aligned with project-specific requirements and interfaces •conduct technical audits of wind turbine suppliers, davit crane suppliers and their sub-suppliers, including first article inspections and factory acceptance tests, as well as providing support to our supervisors and quality auditors •conduct technical audits during the pre-assembly, installation and commissioning of wind turbines and davit cranes •follow up on technical flaws during manufacturing and installation, while preparing status reports for the project management and stakeholders •build specialist competences in the design and manufacturing of one or more of the individual mechanical components in the wind turbine and the davit crane. Your profile You have a bachelor or master's degree in mechanical engineering. In addition, you have analytical and practical experience in mechanical machine components covering cast iron, steel and composite materials, manufacturing processes, degradation mechanisms, testing and verification. Moreover, you preferably have some experience with system design of wind turbines and their installation. You can translate technical observations into detailed project risk descriptions, and you are able to take the actions needed to mitigate risks and coordinate these actions in a team. As we operate in an international environment, it is essential that you speak and write English fluently. As a person, your strong communication skills allow you to achieve results in teams with many stakeholders. With a keen eye for details, you focus on adding value and creating results. We offer An excellent opportunity to control some of the important mechanical risks in wind power. This is a unique and challenging job where you have every opportunity to develop your skills, when you help to carry out some of the world's largest offshore wind projects.
