We are looking for an engaged technical project engineer to join the team to deliver technical projects, drive forward continuous improvement initiatives, and prepare for and support the adoption of digital tools. There will be a particular focus on standardisation, innovation, optimisation of onshore/offshore workscopes and capturing of lessons learned.

You will be responsible for the delivery of assigned technical projects from initiation to completion to achieve project objectives within designated timelines, budgets, Health, Safety and Environment (HSE), legal, regulatory and quality requirements.
Technical projects will include support to operational, inspection and maintenance activities, capturing operational experience and inputting this to new wind farm projects, identifying, preparing for and managing implementation of digital tools as well as developing technical specifications, strategies, processes and procedures. This will aid the Operations Engineering Team in striving for efficiency and excellence in delivering safe, reliable and efficient asset performance and in implementing a successful asset management system.
We will look to you to identify opportunities and deliver improvements in maintenance strategies, repair solutions, risk mitigation, processes and ways of working. You will have a role in capturing and sharing insights, best practice and lessons learned, and sharing across our operational sites and future wind farms under development, fostering collaboration and continuous improvement.
