Structural Engineer

ppOceans of Energy is a young and innovative company, world leader in offshore solar. We installed the world’s first offshore solar farm in 2019.Our mission is to develop offshore energy solutions that work in harmony with nature, and we are committed to making offshore solar a highly valuable option for clean electricity generation. /p pWe are looking for a Structural Engineer to strengthen our team, working on offshore solar projects in the Netherlands. As a Structural Engineer, you will be part of the design team and run design projects within different disciplines, from concept design to detailed design and design verification through testing. The role focuses on creating confidence in the structural performance of the system for long-term operation at sea. It also involves creating insights and models from data collected on our (pilot) systems and other sources to enable the improvement and commercialization of our product. /p h3Responsibilities And Tasks /h3 ul liDesign platforms, interconnectors and floating systems at conceptual level. /li liPerform FEM analysis and hand calculations on our structural designs (including fatigue analysis). /li liDevelop Dynamic modelling tools that can result in digital twin systems on our farm performance during its lifetime. Develop and maintain the in-house structural software. /li liContribute to developing engineering best practices and internal design standards. /li liImprove the design and coming up with future designs of our floating system (structural components). Make it a goal to improve any structural performance with new and more cost effective designs for the future. /li liVerify outcome of numerical modelling with hand-calculations. /li liSelect and use the right data management / engineering tools and software and integrate this into our existing structures. /li liAnalyze measurement data from our operational systems, and integrate findings in design improvements using numerical simulation tools and (full-) scale testing. /li liPrepare model testing campaigns and post-processing the data for the company’s needs. /li liInvolve experts and suppliers, select them andset up joint development. Guide external parties in the design of certain sub-systems / components. /li liWork together with other disciplines (i.e. Project and fabrication team) and provide Offshore Operations Team with knowledge about the system. /li liGive input on desired data you would like to gather from sea to give more confidence to your calculations. i.e. measured wave heights, measured loads etc. /li liCreate documents using our numbering system, work from sharepoint drives. /li liFor insights and improve your understanding sometimes go offshore or help in construction. /li liOccasionally participate in offshore inspections of our system and equipment testing, as required. /li liTechnical University degree /li liProven experience (3-5 years) in structural engineering /li liKnowledge of hydrodynamics, naval architecture, structural and designing /li liUnderstanding of relevant FEM packages, structural modelling techniques, python and other engineering tools /li liPractica, hands‑on mentality with the ability to get things done using simple means /li liAble to perform well in a fast‑paced and changing environment /li liAbility to prepare clear reports and organize documentation /li liAbility to think in in detail while maintaining a system‑level overview /li liCritical mindset and ability to reflect on own work /li liCreative and open‑minded towards new solutions /li liNot sorely dependent on existing mature industry technical standards for sound engineering judgement /li liAbility to remain flexible within a changing company environment and evolving goals. /li liProfessional handling of IP, NDA’s and contracts /li /ul h3Why work at Oceans of Energy /h3 ul liOffshore solar energy is the fastest growing and most scalable renewable energy technology, and Oceans of Energy is leading this development. /li liWork alongside a small, dedicated and highly skilled team driven by sustainability and real impact. /li liCompetitive remuneration package, aligned with your experience and responsibilities. /li liA flexible time-off policy, based on trust and responsibility, allowing you to balance work and personal life. /li liComplimentary lunch at the office. /li liA hands‑on scale‑up environment where you can learn by doing, take ownership, and broaden your scope as the company continues to grow and evolve. /li liWe value team connection and organize social moments and company gatherings throughout the year. /li /ul /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
