Offshore Renewables Operational Support Consultant
Role
Offshore Renewables Operational Support Consultant
Salary range
£55,000 to £70,000 per annum depending on experience
Location
Glasgow, Bristol, Leatherhead or Manchester
Working Pattern
We operate a flexible hybrid working pattern at Frazer-Nash, with time split between the office, client sites and working from home.
Closing date
20th October but we would encourage early applications.
We are currently seeking talented individuals who have experience supporting the operation of offshore renewable energy assets, either working offshore or directly supporting a developer / operator. You may be seeking a new challenge where you can support the continued safe operation of existing assets but also contribute to the development of the next generation of offshore renewable energy projects. The role would be largely office-based (or home-working as appropriate), providing consultancy support to a range of customers and projects, focusing on the operational phase of offshore assets. This could include consideration of Operations & Maintenance activities, reliability and availability assessments, risk management, cost benefit analyses and life extension considerations.
Engineering consultancy can be varied and unpredictable, comprising both short technical projects and lengthy assignments supporting a single client, and your ability to multi-task and collaborate with others will be essential. The right candidate will provide real-world context to complement our decade-long experience supporting offshore renewables projects, and our recognised capabilities in physics and numerical modelling. You will have experience of solving problems and implementing solutions in a real-world environment. We want to use that experience to aid the implementation of appropriate solutions or mitigations in advance of problems being encountered offshore.
As industry seeks to meet the growing demand for reliable, affordable and sustainable energy, we are seeking a motivated and experienced consultant to help us deliver on our extensive portfolio of offshore energy projects, and to further develop our services within the sector. Offshore wind is a core focus area, and we have a history of providing support to both fixed and floating offshore wind projects, but your offshore project experience will likely also be valuable for supporting other broader engineering requirements. We are approached by various clients, including developers, operators, turbine and foundation OEMs, and industry bodies, to assist in solving their problems across the offshore sector. We support these clients with services covering the full project lifecycle from the early phases of concept selection, through to design specification, installation and commissioning, operations and late life management including decommissioning.

The successful candidate will be flexible in both supporting and leading services to clients and collaborating with colleagues from across the company to deliver success. Your experience will be particularly valuable as we mentor our developing engineers. As a senior consultant, you will also play an important role in supporting the development of our renewables business, including identification of business opportunities, growth of our industry network and helping to define an expanded suite of services that can be offered to our customers.
