Are you highly motivated for working with automation systems, and would you like to participate in the design and construction of international offshore wind farms?

Join us and become Project Manager in the SCADA department, which is responsible for all engineering phases within automation of offshore wind farms. Our tasks include working with specification, design and implementation of wind farm automation systems as well as project management of all automation deliverables.

You may choose freely to be based either at our Danish offices in Skærbæk near Fredericia or in Gentofte in the Greater Copenhagen area. However, you should expect some travelling in relation to your work as you will be working on projects in Northern Europe.

• handle commissioning, documentation, handover and follow-up on tasks related to the automation and conduct lessons-learned seminars with a view to developing the SCADA product line.

After an introduction period in Denmark with a duration of at least six months, you will be assigned the SCADA project manager responsibility for the complete delivery of automation to an offshore wind farm throughout the entire project lifecycle in terms of budget, time, quality and safety. You will report directly to the electrical project manager responsible for scoping the complete distribution system delivery.

Your qualifications and core competences include that you

• have a degree in IT or electrical engineering combined with experience, preferably from the energy sector

• are a good team player and have a goal-oriented approach to your work. Having a strong personal drive, you are able to make and implement decisions effectively.

Additionally, you take on a leading role in order to achieve results and assume complete ownership of solutions. You are able to prioritise your tasks and strike the balance between delegation and personal execution of tasks.
