Offshore Wind Farm Geotechnical Expert Needed
Budget: €36 – €0 EUR
YOUR TASKS
Offshore wind farms are central to the Netherlands' shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy. As a key milestone toward their climate goals, the Dutch government is targeting 21 GW of energy from offshore wind farms by 2032. Our project partner intends to contract high-quality experts who support them in managing the site investigations. The geophysical and geotechnical surveys will be executed covering a Wind Farm Site(s) suitable for 8GW.
For this project, we are looking for an Expert – Geotechnical (m/w/d) who can work fully remotely.
Occasionally, the project staff are required to travel to the client's office in Utrecht, or contractor office to attend – for example – project kick-off meetings, important workshops, vessel induction when in Port only (no offshore work), etc. Trips like these are usually limited to once or maybe twice a year, and travel is reimbursed.
Your range of tasks includes:
- Participate in meetings related to the geophysical study, geotechnical study, morphological study, ground model and vessel calls during project execution
- During the meetings, it is expected that the lead expert can represent the expert group and participate in discussions
- Manage interfaces between studies, experts and RVO
- Share information between the teams so that all experts have all the required information. When questions arise the lead expert will arrange a follow-up with the correct party
- Quality assurance and quality control
- Assessing the contractor’s bids
- Drafting Scope of Work for the geotechnical campaign tender
- Review and evaluate proposals (e.g. project documentation, suitability vessels and equipment, equipment set up, project execution plan, line plan), in some cases providing a second opinion
- Contribute to defining a CPT and barehole plan
- Contribute to defining a lab testing program (standard and cyclic)
- Onshore quality control of results during project execution in cooperation with the on-board Client Rep.
- Review of deliverables (e.g. reports and geotechnical data)
- Support in disclosing deliverables (check of HDD, webinars, PSD etc.)
REQUIREMENTS & YOUR EXPERTISE
- Project management and interface skills
- The general site conditions, especially the shallow geology till 100 metres BSF, in the North Sea
Interpretation of geophysical results for post processing into the ground model, morphological study, archaeological study and geotechnical site characterization
- Interpretation of geotechnical results for wind turbine foundation and infield cable design purposes
- State-of-the-art methods and equipment for the geophysical surveys (e.g. hydrographical and geophysical methods)
- State-of-the-art methods and equipment for the in-situ tests (e.g. PCPTs, SCPTs, sampling with bore holes and vibro cores, seismic tests, MIC testing)
- Reviewing ground models
- Fluent English
