The Lead Project Engineer is a key role within the Offshore Renewables Business, focusing on the delivery of large-scale offshore wind projects in the US and overseas. Belonging to the Project Services/Engineering Management (EM) team and reporting to the Senior Engineering Manager or Project Services Director, the individual is responsible to manage the design process of an offshore wind project from origination through feasibility, concept, FEED (Front End Engineering Design), detail design, procurement, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and handover to operations. This role focuses on providing overall technical coordination, leading design assurance, ensuring compliance with industry standards, meeting project requirements, and maximizing returns on investment throughout the project lifecycle. Throughout the project stages of an offshore wind project, the role of the Engineering Manager evolves to adapt to the changing needs and priorities of each phase. In the early stages, during origination, the focus is on gathering data, identifying constraints, and assessing feasibility. This involves analysing site conditions, environmental factors, and regulatory requirements to determine the project?s viability. As the project progresses to the design development phase, the Engineering Manager shifts their focus towards establishing the design basis, ensuring that the project?s engineering requirements are clearly defined and aligned with industry standards and then establishes the basic configuration and layout of the windfarm and transmission system. In the subsequent phase of detailed design, the emphasis is on managing interfaces between technical disciplines, coordinating the integration of various components, and refining the design to optimize performance and efficiency. However, during the execution phase, the focus transitions to design assurance, where the Engineering Manager ensures that the project is being manufactured and installed in accordance with the established design requirements and specifications. This involves technical reviews, verification and certification, inspection and testing and resolving any technical issues that may arise during construction and installation, ultimately ensuring the successful realization of the offshore wind project. The individual will be working as part of a global business with activities in many locations across the US and the rest of the world. The position may require some travel to various locations both in the US and overseas, the individual should be capable of coordinating teams working at different project locations.
