Loads Engineer

We're Hiring: Loads Engineer

Senvion India is one of the leading turbine manufacturers in the wind energy sector. Wind energy is moving into a new phase, defined more than ever by one all-important question: how to generate a maximum of energy at the lowest possible LCOE To answer this question, we work with passion and commitment to make wind energy competitive and profitable for our customers. We keep challenging ourselves to continuously improve the performance of our turbines and we never settle for less than outstanding service it's our way of making the wind work a little harder for our customers. Our new distinctive look reflects this attitude, with bold, dynamic images that capture the power of the wind and a clear and concise language. Our new strapline sums it up in just four words: We make wind perform.

Senvion is seeking a talent professional with 8+ years of experience in Loads Engineer, accountable for the design load calculations of the wind turbine and its various mechanical systems/ structural parts with focus on the rotor-nacelle assembly and Tower. Supporting the loads reduction strategy in alignment with Controls strategy development.
