Job description

How the Technical Asset Manager role fits into Veja Mate

The Technical Asset Manager is a central role within our operations team, bridging the gap between technical performance, commercial objectives, and regulatory compliance. Veja Mate is one of the largest offshore wind farms in the German North Sea, with 67 Siemens SWT-6.0-154 turbines and a total capacity of 402 MW. Keeping such an asset operating at peak performance requires not only excellent technical knowledge but also a strategic mindset that balances cost, risk, and long-term value.

In this position, you will work closely with colleagues in Careers and other departments, including the Technical Operations Manager , to ensure that all maintenance and improvement activities are aligned with the overall business plan. You will have a direct impact on the availability and reliability of the wind farm, which are key drivers of our success.

Because Veja Mate operates in a highly regulated environment, the Technical Asset Manager also acts as a key interface with authorities, certification bodies, and independent experts. This ensures that our operations not only meet but exceed industry standards for safety and environmental protection.

While the core duties are outlined above, the day-to-day work of a Technical Asset Manager is diverse and dynamic. You will be responsible for managing contracts with major service providers, including turbine OEMs, balance of plant contractors, and specialized engineering firms. This involves negotiating scope changes, monitoring performance against KPIs, and ensuring that all contractual obligations are met in a cost-effective manner.

Another significant part of the role is leading technical improvement projects. These can range from small modifications to large-scale retrofits, such as upgrading control systems, improving corrosion protection, or implementing condition monitoring solutions. You will be expected to develop project plans, secure budgets, manage risks, and report progress to senior management.

Root cause analysis is a critical function. When unexpected failures occur, you will lead investigations to determine the underlying causes and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence. This requires a systematic approach, strong analytical skills, and the ability to collaborate with specialists from various disciplines.

Working environment and offshore requirements

The role is primarily based at our Hamburg office, but occasional travel to the wind farm site and other locations is required. Offshore visits are optional but encouraged, as they provide valuable first-hand insight into the challenges and opportunities of operating an offshore wind farm. If you choose to go offshore, you must meet the necessary medical and safety training requirements, including GWO certification and offshore survival training.

We understand that not everyone has offshore experience, and we are committed to supporting your development in this area. Veja Mate offers comprehensive training and certification programs to help you become offshore-ready. Physical fitness is important for offshore work, but we welcome candidates with diverse backgrounds and abilities.

Our office culture is collaborative and inclusive. We believe in open communication, flat hierarchies, and giving our employees the freedom to take ownership of their work. You will have the opportunity to shape processes and contribute to the continuous improvement of our asset management practices.

What we look for in a candidate

Ideally, you hold a degree in engineering, renewable energy, or a related field, and have several years of experience in asset management, operations, or maintenance within the energy sector. Experience with offshore wind is a plus, but we also value transferable skills from other industries such as oil and gas, marine, or heavy industry.

Strong project management skills are essential, including the ability to manage budgets, timelines, and cross-functional teams. You should be comfortable with data analysis and have a good understanding of reliability engineering principles. Excellent communication skills in both German and English are required, as you will interact with a wide range of stakeholders.

Most importantly, we are looking for someone who is proactive, solution-oriented, and passionate about renewable energy. If you are excited by the challenge of optimizing a large-scale offshore wind farm and contributing to the energy transition, we would love to hear from you.

At Veja Mate, we invest in our people. You will have access to ongoing training and professional development opportunities, including technical certifications, leadership programs, and industry conferences. We encourage internal mobility and support career progression within the company.

Our compensation package is competitive and includes a performance-based bonus, company pension scheme, and flexible working arrangements. We offer 30 days of annual leave, plus additional days for special occasions. Our corporate benefits program includes health and wellness initiatives, subsidized public transport, and employee discounts.

We are committed to diversity and inclusion. Veja Mate is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applications from all qualified individuals, regardless of gender, age, disability, or background. We believe that a diverse team leads to better decisions and a more innovative workplace.
