About the Role
A Snapshot of Your Day
This Installation Lead position is a role created to ensure sufficient project leadership capacity for offshore wind turbine preassembly and installation projects. The role is situated within the Execution team, specifically supporting the Preassembly and Ports function in Poland and France. To meet this objective, the role is structured around three core areas: on-site installation management, team leadership with a strong focus on safety, and technical quality assurance. This approach ensures that installation activities are not only executed efficiently and on schedule but also adhere to the highest standards of technical quality and safety compliance. Given the focus on leading on-site execution, the ideal candidate will possess extensive hands-on experience in wind turbine installation, complemented by a vocational or technical education. Proven abilities in team supervision, technical troubleshooting, and adherence to strict safety protocols are essential for success in this role.
