Role Summary: Engineer for wind resource assessment and loads calculations for offshore wind farms for fixed foundations.
Essential Responsibilities: • Wind resource assessments to support Sales & Tendering team at tender stage:
o Site wind data treatment from raw data (met mast, lidar, sodar) from offshore sites
o Annual energy production calculations applying wake deficit models and using either commercial or in-house tools
o Calculations of added turbulence intensities to represent wake effects within wind farms applying wake models and using either commercial or in-house tools
o Follow review process including Loads & micrositing engineering team
o Interaction with GE sales & tendering team and customer technical teams to discuss results; additional data needed
o Highlight potential risks for wind turbine design (close-spacing; typhoon; above Class wind conditions)

• Wind resource assessments for offshore wind farms loads calculations. Ensure appropriate data is used for loads calculations and certifications.
• Estimation of extreme wind conditions representative of typhoon events for loads calculations.
• Critical analyses of site data (wind; metocean; damping; etc..) to highlight uncertainties for AEP and loads calculations.
• Interaction with certification bodies to address comments related to site data treatment
• Interfaces with engineering teams and marketing teams on AEP and layout considerations
• Development of tools in collaboration with European offices
• Noise calculations for near shore wind farms
• Site data gathering for loads calculations; aero-elastic calculations for site wind, waves, currents and tides conditions
• Alignment of site data selection and methodology with Loads & Micrositing engineering team.
• Tools development to simplify loads calculation process in collaboration with Loads & Micrositing engineering team.

Qualifications/Requirements: • Master’s degree from an accredited university in Coastal and Marine Engineering; Marine Engineering Science; Renewable Energy

• Knowledge of geographical differences in offshore site conditions
• Knowledge of international and local offshore wind standards
• General skills in applied mathematics and statistical treatment of data using programming languages (Matlab, R, Python)
• 4-5 years of professional experience preferably doing wind resource assessments for offshore or onshore wind farms.
• Proven ability to work in a cross-functional and global environment
• Experience in typhoon events analyses for wind farms (probabilistic models - occurrence rates; storm tracks; intensities; wind field modeling; combined typhoon wind and waves extreme events analyses
• Experience in noise calculations for wind farms
• Excellent oral and written communication skills in English
• Effective problem identification and solution skills
• Strong interpersonal skills, proven leadership skills and a positive energy

Desired Characteristics: • Professional experience in offshore or near-shore projects and/or environments

• Education and/or work experience in European offshore wind business
• Experience in software development including specifications, theory manuals and flow chart
