1850 – Engineer Lifting Structures

SUPAIR is a recognized sponsor of the IND.

Non-EU engineers based in the Netherlands are also welcome to apply.

The company

This small and growing company in Zuid-Holland is an engineering-based contractor, providing turnkey exchange services as well as specialized lifting services. Their up-tower lifting technology uses compact and fully electric cranes that can be easily mobilized to any site using standard shipping containers.

Their goal is to minimize downtime, enhance performance and extend the lifespan of wind turbines. They offer high-end solutions to exchange major components in offshore wind turbines, in both floating and bottom-fixed environments. Using their technology, major components can be safely exchanged offshore using a minimal amount of equipment and the requirement of towing wind turbines to ports is completely avoided.

The job

You will join a small team with engineering enthusiast from diverse backgrounds who work on tailor made lifting operations. These are not just standard solutions; their designs are creative and innovative to achieve a distinctive result.

The best part of it all is that you will experience the whole lifecycle of a project; the designed lifting and handling structures need to be manufactured, tested and certified. You get to see the result of your work in real time.

With your work experience in the field of structural mechanics, you evaluate the work of junior engineers, discuss with them the improvements they can make and also learn from their view on how they approached the design.

What other responsibilities can you expect?

  • Creating lifting plans with the help of 3D CAD models to check if the repair job can be carried out safely.
  • Proposing adjustments to exiting cranes so they meet new project requirements.
  • Developing new concepts to keep up with the development of new wind turbines.
  • Guiding the manufacturing of new cranes and handling structures.
  • Writing test plans, test procedure and supervising the actual execution of the test.

Communication with colleagues, clients and subcontractors is key. The world of offshore wind is dynamic and often past-paced and requires exchanging information with all the parties involved.

The ambition of the company offers you opportunities for personal growth and development!

  • Great variation in projects; no project is the same.
  • Opportunities to develop further within the international field of Offshore Wind.
  • Be part of an innovative and enthusiastic team.

Job requirements

  • Discipline Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or similar (HBO or master)
  • 1-2 year of relevant work experience
  • Strong knowledge of engineering mechanics/structural engineering
  • Excellent communication skills
  • You are streetwise, flexible and have a proactive and positive attitude
  • You are critical, accurate and always go for the best result
  • Knowledge of 3D CAD software for example Solidworks/SolidEdge/Inventor or similar
