Job Title: Project Engineer - Floating Offshore Wind Platforms

We are seeking a highly skilled Project Engineer to support our offshore wind projects worldwide. As a Project Engineer, you will play a key role in coordinating and delivering engineering services for offshore wind projects, requiring a comprehensive understanding of the offshore wind sector and strong multitasking and flexibility skills.

The ideal candidate will actively participate in developing the structural design of HiveWind floating substructure for various locations and WTGs. This requires a deep understanding of structural design, advanced analysis methods, and project cycles from conceptual to construction phases.

Key Responsibilities:
  1. Perform and check all engineering activities and documentation for Floating Offshore Wind Platforms (FOWP), including structural analyses, calculations, design, verification, or study activities for a project.
  2. Select and design the best technical solutions relevant to Floating Offshore Wind Platforms (FOWP), and structural hull type, and contribute to defining the most suitable structural configuration.
  3. Design structural systems and components, pursuing objectives of sound engineering and design optimization in terms of costs, fabrication simplicity, constructability, and safety.
  4. Supervise preparation and approve steel structure design drawings and prepare, when required, specifications for structural steel purchasing and fabrication and all related items such as bearing systems, bolts, cladding, grating, etc.
  5. Coordinate design activities ensuring technical support during both bidding and execution phases.
  6. Carry out/Check/Supervise structural analyses.
  7. Verify structural strength or dynamic behaviour of items designed by others (piping support Specialists, Vendors, technical building Suppliers, etc.).
  8. Coordinate project developments in the bid and execution phases.
  9. Support on the preparation and coordination of documentation to successfully participate in future offshore wind auctions (seabed lease and/or offtake) and development (to FID) phases.
  10. Potentially people management responsibility.
  11. Contribution to technical development.
  12. Documenting project results as well as attending and conducting project meetings with clients.
  13. Ensure that key interfaces, risks and actions within OWF engineering are tracked, managed and necessary interventions identified and closed out.
  14. Understand, quantify and articulate project delivery risk to enable transparent and fully informed business decisions to be made by project leadership.
  15. Ensure knowledge transfer between projects.
  16. Experience in load mapping between coupled models (such as OrcaFlex, Bladed or equivalent) and FEA models (such as Ansys, Nastran, or equivalent).
  17. Main point of contact with our clients and responsible for the preparation of our deliverables within the expected timeline, budget, and quality.
Requirements:

We are looking for a candidate with at least 10 years of professional experience in offshore projects, with a minimum of 5 years in the design of Floating Offshore Wind Platforms (FOWP), and a deep understanding of the structural design of FOWP.

Education Required: Master's degree or PhD in naval architecture, mechanical engineering or equivalent.

Desired Skills:
  1. Strong Technical Background in Offshore Wind Projects, specifically in the design of Floating Offshore Wind Platforms (FOWP).
  2. Experience in the design of bottom-fix foundations for offshore wind projects will be also appreciated.
  3. Proficient in structural dynamics and fatigue analysis for large steel structures.
  4. Experience in its testing and validation is also desirable.
  5. Experience in project management, with an understanding of technical interfaces and project finance management.
  6. Knowledge of relevant European and American, international codes and offshore standards (IEC, DNV, ABS, ANSI, ISO, EC...).
  7. Fluent in both written and spoken Spanish and English when interfacing with various disciplines and stakeholders, both in person and virtually.
  8. Proficiency in FEA software (ANSYS, NASTRAN, etc.).
  9. Versed in 3D CAD tools (AutoCAD, Solidworks, etc.).
Additional Requirements:
  1. Experience working with large concrete structures and post-tensioning methods.
  2. Knowledge of programming tools (Matlab, Python, SQL...).
  3. Leadership skills.
  4. Entrepreneurial and proactive, assertive and action-oriented leadership style, with strong intellectual agility and ability.
  5. Sound communication skills able to communicate ideas and results to various stakeholders (both in written reports and in meetings, presentations, etc.).
  6. Systematic and detail-oriented approach to deliver high-quality solutions.
