Desired Knowledge and Skills: Must have experience in wind turbine development mechanical components or systems (e.g. gearbox, bearings, cooling & hydraulic systems, tools, methods) Direct/Indirect exposure and working experience with certification bodies. Direct/Indirect exposure to work with production facilities and installation teams Sound Knowledge within innovative simulations of mechanical systems; Knowledge of IEC turbine design standards, CE & Dibt certification and material standards. Good Reporting and Documentation skills using MS-office tools Must have experience in co-development of technologies with third parties Experience in leading teams/departments with up to 50 engineers Must have good organizational and communication skills Ability to drive the development topics as well as the competence in increase of the team Able to create a new team culture and set up the right team regarding competences, mix of seniority, size Roles & Responsibilities: Lead the Mechanical Engineering team in order to deliver in full (on time, at cost and at quality) on all programs and projects. Enable smooth production and installation of nacelle & hub together with sourcing, installation, and production teams. Develop new concepts for mechanical parts and systems and introduce modularization concepts for Nacelle and Hub including easy to manufacture / install or service. Enable methods & tools for smooth production, transportation (onshore & offshore) and installation of the wind turbine & its components/assemblies. Enable modular nacelle & hub concepts to implement country specific options without effort (e.g. adaptation to Europe, optional products, customer specific requirements) Built-up of global mechanical engineering team (competency and efficiency) Train and increase competency of current staff Support certification activities related to Nacelle & Hub DECS/MECS Support & drive verification & validation test protocols. Make sure NCR s are solved on-time and with respective quality Monitor execution tightly and proactively mitigate/Eliminate risks. Implement lean processes and management mechanisms for superior performance. Developing processes and tools to optimize the work of the Mechanical Engineering team (e.g. fully automated 2D drawings out of 3D-model, fully automated load transfer to suppliers, etc.)
