SBO is currently making the transition from marine services provider to deliverer of turnkey T&I construction projects. Therefore, this role provides an exciting opportunity to shape a small, but dynamically growing engineering department during a new phase of development. Moreover, as wind turbines are growing from 8 to 12 MW, SBO’s two industry-leading jack-ups will require optimisation to remain at the forefront of the sector. Thus, the Project Engineer will have the exciting opportunity to advise and propose technical efficiencies in upgrade forums. 

The position is Copenhagen-based and is a tremendous opportunity for a Project Engineer interested in furthering a career in the offshore wind sector in a growing company. Approximately 20 travel days will be required annually.

• A BSc or MSc in Naval Architecture, Offshore Engineering or equivalent degree.
• Minimum 5 years of experience within Offshore Wind, Oil & Gas or Heavy­Lift preferred, ideally including offshore / seagoing experience or within offshore project execution.
• Technical reporting experience and drafting knowledge (AutoCAD, Inventor and 3D modelling)
• A natural capability for bridging issues between departments, and ability to prioritise by importance, risk and commercial impact.
• Strong interpersonal skills, and the ability to communicate technical matters effectively to audiences at all levels
• English fluency, both written and spoken.
