INTRODUCTION

Join the GE Wind Offshore MCU Department, responsible for defining the offshore Main Component Update (MCU) strategy for wind turbine components and providing the methods, transport, tools, and workforce for GE Wind Offshore projects. The MCU service covers all offshore activities, from vessel load-out of the installation/operations vessel through completion of mechanical and electrical operations.

As the Offshore MCU Project Engineering Lead, you will play a strategic role on the project — first managing the project engineering team for MCU and overseeing engineering across all offshore wind farms for Haliade 150 and Haliade-X, working in close interface with the installation vessel supplier, and subsequently overseeing the offshore wind turbine MCU scope.
