To provide our clients with technical expertise, we are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to join us. Working on offshore wind foundation design projects, you’ll work with our project manager to ensure that projects are delivered on time, to the client's technical specification and satisfaction, and within the project budget constraints.

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

Like us, you believe that leadership success comes from setting a clear and meaningful direction for your team and supporting them in taking ownership of their work. You always delegate responsibility and ensure an open and safe dialogue, and you coach your people to achieve their aspirations through constructive, fact-based feedback. Attracting and nurturing a diverse group of high-potential team members is at the top of your agenda, as is creating an inclusive, caring and trusting culture in your team.

Qualifications:

• A bachelor’s or master’s degree or PhD in a related engineering discipline
• Extensive experience in the technical delivery of Offshore Wind Foundations projects
• Experience with design of all common foundation types for offshore wind turbines and substations
