Offshore T&I Solution Manager
[Job Responsibilities]
1. Subcontractor Resource Development: Establish and maintain a resource pool of ports, installation vessels (e.g., Jack-up, HLV), lifting equipment, and related engineering service providers in the European offshore market. Organize pre-qualification (RFI) for potential subcontractors, evaluating their technical capabilities, HSE qualifications, track record, and financial status. Complete the supplier onboarding process to ensure compliance with European market standards (e.g., DNV GL, Lloyd's Register)
2. Technical Solution Alignment: Communicate Goldwind offshore wind turbine specifications to potential subcontractors through technical specifications (Scope of Work). Review subcontractor-submitted plans, including port storage and handling procedures, marine transportation and installation (T&I) methodologies, offshore lifting calculations, and sea-fastening schemes, ensuring they meet European technical standards
3. Port Fit Analysis: Assess infrastructure, operational capabilities, throughput, and potential partners of key European offshore wind ports. Establish and maintain a port resource database, assessing feasibility for transporting and pre-assembling various turbine models to support site selection and subcontracting strategy
4. Vessel-Fit Analysis: Assess whether the parameters of lifting vessels, jack-up platforms, and other equipment provided by subcontractors meet the specific requirements of the project site (water depth, seabed geology) and the wind turbine generators (hub height, unit weight)
5. Site Inspection and Audit: Conduct on-site audits of subcontractor vessels and equipment to verify asset condition, deck load capacity, and certification of lifting gear. Analyze the construction sequence logic considering the limited weather windows for offshore operations in Europe, ensuring adherence to European safety and environmental standards
6. Tendering and Negotiation: Lead the tender process (RFQ/RFP) for offshore installation and lifting contracts. Manage commercial negotiations, particularly regarding key clauses in standard contracts, ensuring the final contract complies with EU laws and regulations.
[Qualifications]
1. Educational Background: Degree in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering (Port, Waterway, and Coastal Engineering direction) or related fields
2. Industry Experience: Proven experience in offshore wind turbine installation, heavy lift of large offshore structures, or site management for offshore projects. Familiarity with European offshore standards and regulations
3. Communication Skills: Ability to translate complex technical requirements of wind turbines into actionable engineering language for subcontractors. Strong cross-cultural communication skills
