Description
Vattenfall is seeking a Senior Offshore Wind Turbine Loads & Structural Dynamics Engineer to join their Structural Loads team within Offshore Engineering.
The successful candidate will work at the heart of offshore wind turbine engineering, using engineering analysis, aeroelastic modelling, and measurement data to investigate complex turbine behaviour and turn the results into sound engineering decisions.
Key responsibilities include:
- Advanced engineering analysis: Independently define, perform, and technically own aeroelastic load analyses.
- Structural integrity: Assess wind turbine and support-structure loading and independently investigate and resolve complex engineering questions.
- Project delivery: Technically lead load-related engineering activities and ensure technical deliverables meet project requirements.
- Technical collaboration: Work closely with specialists across Wind Turbine Engineering, Primary Structures, Geotechnical Engineering, and Metocean.
- Stakeholder engagement: Act as a trusted technical partner to internal stakeholders and translate complex loads-related questions into clear engineering recommendations.
- Innovation and improvement: Develop and refine simulation models, engineering tools, and analysis methods.
The ideal candidate will have:
- A master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Wind Energy, or a closely related discipline.
- At least 7 years of relevant industry experience in wind turbine aeroelasticity, load simulation, or structural dynamics.
- Extensive hands-on experience defining and performing aeroelastic load analyses.
- Strong knowledge of wind turbine aerodynamics, structural dynamics, control systems, and load-generation mechanisms.
- Experience interpreting simulation results, validating engineering models, and working with measurement data.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to explain complex technical findings.
Vattenfall offers attractive employment conditions and opportunities for personal and professional development.
