Welcome to Electrical Installations & Commissioning Management
You’ll be part of our Commissioning Scope Manager team where you, together with your colleagues, will ensure the overall reliability, operability, and performance of our new offshore wind farm projects.

• establishing, managing, and allocating tasks to electrical engineers and technicians, predominantly professionals with authorised qualifications
• ensuring optimal planning and operation of wind farm power export and capacity, performance, and reliability during the commissioning period until transfer to operations & maintenance
• participating in the development and optimisation of the commissioning execution of wind farms for faster energisation, first power, commercial operational date, and transfer to OFTO/Operations.

To succeed in the role, you:

• have a relevant technical qualification, for example a bachelor’s degree in electrical and/or mechanical engineering, B.Sc./B.Eng., or equivalent, with a minimum of 10 years of senior commissioning management experience
• possess strong leadership and management skills for impactful communication with teams and stakeholders, the development of your team, and for influencing project performance
• have a strong drive and thrive working in a project management role where you coordinate complex and cross-discipline commissioning activities, from large-scale projects such as offshore wind farms and thermal power generation plants to oil and gas, and managing the associated tasks in a professional manner
• have solid experience with working efficiently in a large matrix organisation and understand how to engage the right internal and external people and stakeholders at the right time
• are resilient, persistent, and thrive in an international environment and are able to create good relationships with your stakeholders.
