Team Lead Owf Electrical Engineering

**The Role**:
**This is an exciting opportunity for you to lead the Offshore Wind Electrical Engineering team wherein you will be overseeing and delivering technical expertise in EC&I engineering to the offshore wind projects and opportunities.**

**Where you fit in**

Shell is growing its Renewable Generation and offshore wind portfolio through development of new business opportunities or buy into projects and operating assets. Particularly in NW Europe, the market is increasing in size and competitiveness. With this maturation, the landscape is changing and will require a fresh look on project development, both technically and commercially. A key part of this development is Shells capability in EC&I engineering, where new approaches, designs and technology developments are continuous and developments strive to improve efficiency, drive down cost and reduce HSE risk. The offshore windsupply market is highly competitive and evolving and a key part of the role will further develop Shell’s relationship on technical aspects within the supply chain, in collaboration with C&P.

This role will consist of developing and overseeing the electrical team lead activities as well as supporting offshore wind projects and opportunities where required. You will be setting strategic direction for the team, implement processes and ways of working in close cooperation with the rest of the technical offshore wind team and other interfaces, within the offshore wind and Renewable Generation organization and relevant discipline engineering pools.

The EC&I engineering team will deliver support for projects globally in all phases of the project lifecycle. You will work closely with the R&D team to exchange on future technologies and implementation of those. You will set up and implement fit for purpose processes (like approach to specifications, assurance, ways of working, technical due diligence), be responsible for capturing and distributing lessons learnt between projects and regions and set standardization. You are responsible to develop the team and capability to support the business needs, having a strong focus on care for people and their development. You will furthermore work with the other technical leads together with the manager technical engineering in shaping and implementing the strategy for offshore wind in the technical space.

You will act as technical authority in EC&I Engineering for the various projects in role of sponsor or assurance reviewer ensuring highest level of risk reduction, raising concerns, bringing in Shell knowledge to JV’s and capturing lessons to further improve. You will also work closely with the relevant suppliers & build relationships in the industry together with C&P.

In addition to team lead duties, you can expect to be working on projects where you will lead selected engineering scope for projects and opportunities, driving for best value results from the technical concept and design safely, on time, on budget and to the required specifications and quality standards focusing on maximizing the safe efficient revenue from the asset over the life of the project.
