Attention
Non-EU engineers graduated in the Netherlands are also welcome to apply.
SUPAIR is a recognized sponsor of the IND and specialized in all IND applications.
The company
This small and growing company with offices in Canada and the province of Zuid-Holland is a specialized wind energy contractor. They exclusively focus on major repairs with the most modern up-tower cranes: lifting installations installed on top of wind turbines.
Yearly they perform over 150 repairs across two continents. In August 2022 they achieved their 1000th heavy lift! Projects ranged from the replacement of gearboxes, generators, turbine blades and main bearings.
As a result of their high quality, they have built up an excellent reputation and are an established name within the worldwide wind turbine industry. Their technology is fast, efficient and reliable, so that work can be done safely even at higher wind speeds.
Job description
You will join a small team with engineering enthusiast from diverse backgrounds. The range of tasks go from drawing up lifting plans to concept design for future off-shore projects. And you’ll experience the whole lifecycle of a project; from coming up with ideas to putting them into operation.
What kind of responsibilities can you expect?
- Creating lifting plans in Solidworks to determine what the actual situation will look like with the help of 3D CAD models before it is carried out in practice. The 3D models provide an idea of the composition of the necessary crane, the type of wind turbine and the environment around the wind turbine.
- During the concept design for future offshore projects, you focus on categorizing sub-problems and sub-solutions. These partial solutions can be combined in order to come up with various concepts, of which you make an initial cost estimate in Excel.
- Is there a new crane to be tested? You will be writing the test plan, test procedure and supervising the actual execution of the test. You get to see the result of your work in real time.
- Communication with clients is key. To present clients a visualisation of your solutions the concepts are placed in a 3D CAD environment to determine additional points of interest and potentially missing information.
- Researching the offshore wind energy market. How can the product portfolio be adjusted to the changing market circumstances?
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.
Both starters and experienced engineers are welcome.
Job requirements
- TU, discipline Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering
- Good communicative skills
- Knowledge of structural engineering
- Knowledge of, for example, Solidworks/SolidEdge/Inventor or similar
- You are flexible and have a proactive and positive attitude
- You are critical, accurate and always go for the best result
