Description
The organisation develops, builds and operates offshore wind farms along the coasts of several European countries. Our extensive project pipeline includes wind farms totalling over 4GW. Projects are constructed on a multi-contract basis with the client taking an active involvement in all engineering aspects. At between MW, this is one of the largest offshore wind farms currently in construction in Europe.A general Site Manager is required to manage contracts for the delivery, pre assembly, erection and commissioning of 160 offshore wind turbines. The contracted works include:
* Delivery and inspection of turbine components to Port - tower sections, blades, rotors and nacelles

* Installation and mechanical completion of turbine components
* Energisation and commissioning of turbines
* Reliability runs and asset handover
In order to deliver these works a multi-contract strategy has been adopted by the project, comprising separate contracts for;
* The Port site lease and facilities
