Vacancy: Project Engineer Hydrodynamics

Oceans of Energy is growing fast, and we are looking for a Project Engineer Hydrodynamics!  You will  be responsible for all hydrodynamic challenges during the preparation and execution of our upcoming (commercial) projects. You will be managing and executing Hydrodynamics deliverables and scopes.  You will keep up with market developments, manage relations with our network of subcontractors and vendors related to hydrodynamics. And since a great part of the production of our systems is done in house, it is important to stay up to date with knowledge- and tools developments of our own product.  

 

As Hydrodynamics project engineer at Oceans of Energy no day is the same. In general you will be collaborating with other engineers and subcontractors regarding project-specific engineering scopes of current projects (dynamic system behaviour, mooring system analysis, dynamic cable design). In addition to that you will be in the lead for subcontracting of scopes and materials such as: CPS systems, bend stiffeners, dynamic cables and mooring components, following the scopes up to delivery. If needed you will go offshore as Field Engineer, but we also count on your input and support in project control regarding forecasting and cost engineering, as well as subsidy claim preparations.
