Jobbeschreibung

Do you want to help shape the future of offshore wind through digital innovation in geotechnical engineering? Can you solve complex engineering challenges while developing smarter tools and automated workflows? Then, join COWI’s Offshore Geotechnics team and help deliver some of the world’s most exciting offshore wind projects.

Create the solutions that will enable a better tomorrow

At COWI, you will become part of our Offshore Geotechnics team and contribute across the full project lifecycle of major offshore wind developments, from site investigations and geotechnical interpretation to foundation design, advanced analysis, and lifetime extension. As the industry continues to grow in scale and complexity, you will be part of a team exploring smarter ways of working through digital tools, automation, and innovative engineering solutions. You will have the opportunity to solve complex engineering challenges, contribute to the digital transformation of geotechnical engineering and work alongside a collaborative and highly international team, helping shape how engineering is delivered and supporting the future of offshore renewable energy.

Your key responsibilities will be to:

• Deliver geotechnical engineering analyses, interpretation, assessments, and design support for offshore wind projects.
• Perform advanced numerical modelling and geotechnical analyses using tools such as PLAXIS.
• Develop, maintain, and enhance engineering tools, scripts, and automated workflows using Python, MATLAB, and similar technologies.
• Support the adoption of automation, AI, and digital engineering solutions within geotechnical processes.
• Support the efficient management, analysis, and visualisation of geotechnical data to improve project outcomes.
• Collaborate with geotechnical, structural, and digital specialists across disciplines, while contributing to technical development initiatives and knowledge sharing within the Offshore Geotechnics team.

Your skills. Our team. Together we design the future.

The first step to success in this role is that you are eager to collaborate with the people around you, whether they are colleagues, partners or customers. Developing ties with others is something you do by acting respectfully and delivering on your promises. And you never get set in your ways, but keep exploring new insights and ways to improve.

On top of that, you will have:

• Hold an MSc or PhD in Geotechnical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a related discipline, with approximately 5 years of relevant professional experience.
• Demonstrate solid geotechnical engineering fundamentals, analytical capabilities, and experience with numerical modelling and geotechnical software.
• Possess proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or similar programming environments, with the ability or interest to develop digital engineering solutions.
• Show a keen interest in automation, digitalisation, and the continuous improvement of engineering processes and workflows.
• Be capable of working independently, effectively structuring both short- and long-term objectives, priorities, and processes.
• Thrive in collaborative environments, communicating fluently in English and working closely with colleagues and specialists through open feedback and knowledge-sharing practices.

Experience from offshore wind, offshore foundations, marine geotechnics or related sectors, as well as other geotechnical disciplines applied within offshore renewable energy.
