Are you passionate about shaping the future of offshore wind? At DNV, we're looking for an experienced and motivated Offshore Geotechnical Engineer to join our global Renewables Certification team.
In this exciting role, you’ll work on certification activities for offshore wind farms across the globe, spanning various design stages including concept development, FEED, design basis, detailed design, and installation. The scope covers key wind farm assets such as wind turbine foundations, seabed cables, offshore substations, and floating offshore wind structures.
You will engage in constructive technical discussions with designers and developers in the offshore wind industry, adding value and helping to de-risk projects. You’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a wide range of ongoing offshore wind projects globally, as well as participate in the technical qualification of new concepts, prototypes, and Joint Industry Projects related to geotechnics. You will also be involved in the development of DNV’s technical standards.
This role is based either in the United Kingdom or Taiwan, offering flexibility to join our expert team from one of two strategic locations.
As Offshore Geotechnical Engineer you will manage your own projects with a high degree of autonomy, supported by experienced mentors and senior engineers. Additionally, you’ll contribute to the development of the team’s technical competencies, enhancing your professional skills through involvement in high-profile global engineering projects for some of the industry’s leading organisations.
Key Competences:
- Strong knowledge in effects of cyclic loads on soil stiffness, axial and lateral soil bearing capacity, with focus on large diameter monopiles and jacket foundation on piles and suction buckets.
- Track record of geotechnical calculation optimization tools and design methodologies implementation for in-place analysis and load calculations by scripting in Python/MATLAB and soil reaction implementation in computer models.
- Track record in suction bucket design, for in-place and installation analysis, including FE-Analysis.
- Track record of implementing soil damping and seismic design and assessment of soil liquefaction for different types of foundation typologies.
- Track record of foundation design in challenging soil conditions for APAC market, like Taiwan.
- Experience with ground investigation, ground modelling and geotechnical interpretation for design.
- Team player, understanding the challenges to work across different locations and diverse teams, with focus on training and enhancing the team’s competencies and positive attitude towards new challenges.
