As a Graduate, other than your relevant degree, we don’t expect any prior experience of Offshore engineering when you join us; However, we do want you to share our passion for renewable energy and an interest in wind turbine system design, demonstrating your desire to develop yourself within this exciting area.
We try to keep our list of essential requirements to a minimum, but there are a few things needed to qualify for this role:
Minimum 2:2 Degree in Mechanical/Offshore Engineering, Wind Energy Engineering, or similar closely related STEM discipline
Some understanding of Renewables, ideally Wind Energy, would be beneficial

If you possess the curiosity and initiative to become an expert in your chosen field and potentially one of our future leaders, then this role could be for you.

Responsibilities

Working in our Turbine Engineering and Wind Projects sections, you will:
Learn to perform high level numerical modelling of onshore, offshore fixed and floating wind turbine systems and farms. You’ll find out how design choices can impact costs and how these can be quantified (“value engineering”)
Support code development activities relating to value engineering software developed at DNV (Renewables Architect)
Deliver value engineering consultancy work such as foundation sizing, technology evaluation, comparative value analysis between wind farms and early-stage project optioneering
Support other technology and project development activities as required by the teams

Have the opportunity to work with other discipline teams across DNV to see how we are working together to solve some of the energy industry’s biggest problems.
You’ll be stretched but always supported, so don’t worry if Wind Turbine Technology or some of the terminology is unfamiliar to you, we’ll teach you all you need to know. Upon joining, you’ll receive a buddy to help you settle in, a mentor to enhance your technical knowledge, as well as ongoing on-the-job coaching and support from your colleagues.
Our structured Graduate Programme therefore, provides a fantastic start to your career with us, enhancing both your technical and professional skills and supporting your journey towards chartership and becoming an expert in your field.
