Would you like to take up the technical challenges in relation to export cables for US offshore wind farms?

Join us and become Export Cable Project Lead in Export Cable Managers where you’ll be responsible for the supply, jointing and termination works of our high-voltage export cables for one our US projects. You’ll be involved in all engineering phases related to the export cable systems for our offshore wind farms.

• have project management experience from infrastructure projects
• are a good communicator and speak and write English fluently
• have an international mindset.

Moreover, you thrive in an international environment, can create good relationships with your stakeholders and have a structured, service-minded and flexible approach to your tasks. You’re independent and a strong initiator with the ability to solve challenging issues within a complex matrix organisation. Finally, it’s an advantage if you have experience with installation of high-voltage cables, experience with energy transmission projects in the US, hold a Project Management certification (PMP or similar) and are familiar with high-voltage cable standards - CIGRE, IEC, ICEA - and have experience working with FIDIC-based contracts.
