Offshore Wind
Logistics Engineer - Senior
The Senior Logistics Engineer will support the development and coordination of logistic and installation concepts according to schedule during planning and construction until operation. This includes the collection of requirements, definition of scope, planning of time schedule and cost estimation.
The Senior Logistics Engineer may have involvement in all transport and installation packages as resource requirements require, but as the project develops they are expected to predominately concentrate on one specific package. Significant experience in foundation installation and / or WTG installation is required, but some awareness and experience of cable installation activities will be seen as beneficial.
Initially in the project they will support a Development Logistics Manager, and post bid will support the relevant Installation Package Manager(s). Functionally they will report to the project Engineering Manager.
Depending on requirements and skills they may be asked to undertake the package management of certain parts of installation scope, under the direction of an overall package manager.
The immediate role will be seconded to a large UK project within our clients portfolio. The project is currently in early phases of design. The role will be based in London.
