Offshore Wind Project Manager

Are you ready to drive the energy transition and help shape a future less dependent on fossil fuels? As an Offshore Wind Project Manager at Vattenfall, you will be at the forefront of delivering projects that make a real difference.

This is your opportunity to join a progressive and collaborative team within our Business Area (BA) Wind, where your skills can contribute directly to achieving fossil freedom. If you are passionate about managing complex projects in a dynamic environment and want your work to have a lasting impact, we would like to hear from you. Take this step with us and play a vital role in building tomorrow’s sustainable energy solutions.

Be in your element with BA Wind

As part of BA Wind you will play a key role in one of the most exciting pipelines in the industry with 24GW of capacity stretching out more than a decade ahead across our key European markets.

You won’t only be involved in developing projects but pioneering cutting-edge innovation, new business models and ways of working with communities and the environment. Working as part of a leading European utility also means you could be helping a growing number of major businesses and brands achieve their own sustainability goals through partnerships.

What will you do? 
In this role, you will be a vital link between our offshore sites and central support teams, ensuring that operational and technical expertise are seamlessly delivered where they are needed most. You will take ownership of planning and executing regional projects, such as annual maintenance campaigns, by collaborating closely with site teams you can guarantee readiness from the outset. Your day-to-day work will focus on building strong partnerships across regions, enabling clear alignment on project goals and standards. Success in this position means projects run safely, efficiently, and on schedule, thanks to your careful coordination of pre-site requirements including working procedures, certifications, inductions and safety protocols. 

Your main responsibilities include: 

• Acting as the main point of contact for offshore sites and central support functions to ensure smooth communication and problem-solving; 
• Overseeing all aspects of project preparation from managing accurate data in SAP to organising tools, spare parts and documentation required for execution; 
• Supporting planners by providing detailed scope information to build robust execution plans; 
• Leading cross regional initiatives that drive consistency and best practice sharing across different locations; 
• Ensuring that health and safety standards are met at every stage of project delivery. 

Who are you? 
You are driven by the challenge of bringing teams and expertise together to deliver on projects. Your background is rooted in engineering, whether marine, mechanical, or a related field, or you have built equivalent experience in a technically demanding environment. A solid foundation in project management is essential, ideally gained within the offshore industry, as this will enable you to steer activities with precision and confidence. 

To thrive in this role, you should bring: 

• Hands-on experience in Operations and Maintenance within a technical domain, giving you the insight needed to navigate real-world challenges on site; 
• A working knowledge of wind turbine systems and strong familiarity with SAP for managing project data and resources;
• Understanding of compliance processes, ensuring that all procedures meet required standards; 
• Fluency in both Dutch and English (spoken and written), so you can communicate effectively across regional teams.

Collaboration comes naturally to you and you are skilled at coordinating efforts across functions, regions, and disciplines. Your approach is open-minded yet structured; you know how to listen, engage stakeholders and ensure alignment without losing sight of delivery. You get energy from creating clarity out of complexity, supporting planners with accurate information and making sure everyone has what they need to succeed. At your best when balancing multiple priorities under time pressure, you stay focused on safety and execution readiness at every step.
