The Turbine Loads department is an integral part of the Siemens Gamesa Offshore Technology organization that forms the core of our technological leadership. We continuously aim to be best in class and we are looking for a Team Lead for a team of 10 highly skilled Loads and Validation engineers in our Copenhagen office.

How to contribute to our vision
The Turbine Loads department consists of 40 dedicated engineers divided across Copenhagen, Brande, Rouen/Paris & Bangalore. We drive the latest developments of turbine load design and validations, aero-servo-elastic analysis and load mitigation strategies. We continuously push the borders to optimize the annual energy production of our offshore wind turbines without compromising the structural integrity and operational constraints in the sub-systems. We work on the forefront of technology and product development.

We play a decisive role from the scoping of future turbines, through the load design process with strong interfaces internally and with customers/certifiers, to prototype validation and finally releasing the product for sales. In order to do so, we develop and maintain advanced tools for aero-servo-elastic analysis and validation.

Our markets and customers are international and so are our teams. In our Copenhagen office alone, we employ people from more than 10 different nationalities in an informal Danish working culture. We are a part of the Loads and Control module where we collaborate closely with our sister departments in Controls, System Level Control and Project Management. We have an international mindset and we communicate in English as we have teams in US, India, France and Denmark across the Loads and Control module.

Our vision is to remain market leader, and as a Team Lead your mission is to enable your team to support this vision. Your responsibilities will include:

• Overall responsible for team operations and performance within load assessments, aero-elastic analysis and load validation
• Support your team members in their individual development and growth
