O&M Technical Support Engineer - Offshore Wind

Vattenfall is a leading European energy company driving the transition to a sustainable energy system. We have been electrifying industries, powering homes and transforming life through innovation for more than 100 years. We employ around 21,000 people mostly in our core markets in Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, and the UK.

As O&M Technical Support Engineer - Offshore Wind, you will help Vattenfall keep our offshore wind fleet safe, reliable and available. You will join our Wind Operations & Maintenance organisation, where you will provide specialist second-line technical support to offshore wind sites, mainly focused on Vestas turbine platforms, especially V80, V90 and V112.

Your main responsibilities will be to:

• Receive, assess and resolve technical requests from offshore wind sites, using ticketing systems, operational data, technical documentation and input from relevant specialists.
• Analyse recurring alarms, failure patterns and technical trends to identify potential platform issues and support improvements in reliability, availability and maintainability.
• Support remote troubleshooting by using SCADA, alarm data, maintenance history and technical documentation to guide site teams towards practical solutions.
• Create and maintain standardised technical solutions, alarm guides, troubleshooting instructions and corrective work packages for offshore sites.
• Work closely with site operations, engineering, asset management, regional support, OEMs, suppliers and other internal stakeholders to ensure the right technical input is available when operational decisions are made.
• Provide technical input to future projects, Employer Requirements, contract discussions and improvement priorities where operational lessons learned are relevant.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of Technical Support processes, tools and documentation, and share knowledge with colleagues across the team.

You are at your best when you can combine practical turbine knowledge with careful technical reasoning. You like to understand the facts behind a fault, use available data and explain complex findings in a clear way to people with different technical backgrounds.

You bring:

• Experience with Vestas wind turbine platforms, preferably V80, V90 and/or V112.
• 4–7 years of experience in technical operations, maintenance, troubleshooting or engineering within wind energy or another complex technical environment.
• Technical background in electrical, mechanical or a related engineering discipline, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• Good understanding of wind turbine systems, including electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and control systems, with experience in fault finding and root-cause analysis.
• Experience working with technical documentation and operational tools such as SCADA, SAP PM or other CMMS solutions.
• Strong communication skills in English and the ability to explain technical concepts clearly while collaborating in an international environment.
• Willingness to travel occasionally to operational or offshore sites.

Possible locations for this role are Esbjerg, Kolding, Amsterdam, Hamburg, London or Hexham. The role is mainly office-based, with occasional travel to other Vattenfall locations.

Our involvement at every stage of projects means you’ll be able to find your element working with the power of wind and solar in a role where your skills and experience will be leveraged to the maximum. You’ll benefit from limitless opportunities to grow in your element through learning and development and to expand your horizons working across our diverse portfolio.

We strive to be the best place to work in the industry with highly competitive pay and conditions and an open, supportive culture. A commitment to a healthy work-life balance aims to ensure everyone plays to their strengths.

The scale of our ambition means we need to bring together people from many different backgrounds and experiences. You will be part of a growing team of 1,700+ colleagues from 50+ nationalities where our positive approach to diversity is reflected in the fact that more than a quarter of staff are women.

At Vattenfall we are convinced that diversity contributes to building a more profitable and attractive company and we strive to be a good role model regarding diversity.
