Our client is rapidly expanding its Offshore Projects team to meet the demands of building its next large offshore wind farm and is seeking to fill a number of positions for the construction phase.

The project will be built using a multi-contract strategy and will demand a high level of involvement in the detailed management of a wide range of contract works and the interfaces between them.

We are currently building our second offshore wind farm, and this will provide opportunities for new team members to gain hands-on experience of this exciting new technology, and also of the upcoming project, which will feature between 150 and 250 wind turbines with a maximum project capacity of 750 MW.

 Development of technical specifications, assessment of tenders and of contractor competence
 Tender technical assessments
 Design reviews
 Assessment and recording of Engineering Risks into the project Risk Register
 Reviewing the impact of scope changes and managing the change control process.

Your Profile:

 Your employment history may include working for oil and gas or power companies, or general engineering consultancies
