Overview

Drive the offshore execution of the energy transition.

We are looking for a T&I Lead to take ownership of the transport and installation strategy and execution for major offshore wind projects, covering both structural assets (foundations, substations) and subsea cable systems (inter-array and export). This is a critical leadership role, bridging engineering, fabrication, marine operations, and offshore execution to ensure safe, efficient, and cost-effective installation across complex project interfaces.

T&I Strategy & Planning

• Develop and lead the Transport & Installation (T&I) strategy for offshore wind projects.
• Define installation methodologies for:
  • WTG foundations (monopiles, jackets, transition pieces).
  • Offshore substations (topside & jacket transport and lift).
  • Subsea cables (inter-array & export systems).
  • Manage installation schedules, sequences, and marine logistics.

Engineering & Technical Oversight

• Oversee T&I engineering deliverables including:
  • Lift studies and rigging design.
  • Sea fastening and grillage design.
  • Floatover / heavy lift installation methodologies.
  • Cable lay analysis, route engineering, pull-in and protection systems (CPS).
  • Ensure alignment with structural design, geotechnical, and cable engineering teams.
  • Review and approve contractor T&I engineering documentation.

Marine Operations & Execution

• Lead planning and readiness for offshore campaigns, including:
  • Vessel selection and suitability assessments (WIVs, heavy lift vessels, CLVs).
  • Port logistics, marshalling, and load‑out operations.
  • Offshore installation procedures and contingency planning.
  • Provide technical support during offshore operations, including campaign monitoring and issue resolution.

Contractor & Stakeholder Management

• Act as the primary interface for T&I contractors, marine warranty surveyors (MWS), and installation partners.
• Support procurement activities including:
  • Preparation of T&I scopes of work
  • Technical evaluations of bids
  • Contract clarification and negotiations
  • Engage with certification bodies and regulators to ensure compliance

Risk, Safety & Assurance

• Lead HSE‑by‑design approach for all T&I activities.
• Conduct risk assessments, method statement reviews, and constructability studies.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards (DNV‑ST‑N001, ISO, client requirements)
• Oversee development of ALARP installation solutions.

Essential Experience

• Proven experience as T&I Engineer / T&I Lead / Installation Manager in offshore wind or offshore oil & gas.
• Strong background in installation of:
  • Offshore structures (monopiles, jackets, substations), and/or Subsea cables (export and inter‑array systems).
  • Experience across project lifecycle phases (FEED, detailed design, execution).
  • Track record of supporting or leading offshore campaigns.

Technical Expertise

• Strong knowledge of:
  • Heavy lift and marine installation methods
  • Cable installation techniques (lay, burial, pull‑in, termination).
  • Metocean constraints, weather windows, and operability analysis.
  • Familiarity with installation engineering tools and methods.
  • Understanding of marine spread capabilities and vessel limitations.

Leadership & Professional Skills

• Strong coordination and leadership skills across multidisciplinary teams.
• Excellent communication and client‑facing capability.
• Ability to manage multiple contractors and interfaces simultaneously.
• Proactive, solution‑oriented with strong risk awareness and decision‑making ability.
