Are you ready to kickstart your career in renewable energy with Vestas, the world leader in sustainable energy solutions?

If so, come aboard as a Student Worker in our NCE Regional Engineering & Technology (RE&T) team, where you'll support tool development as well as analyse site conditions, optimize wind farm layouts, and balance technical risk and performance. This role offers the unique opportunity to blend programming, data science, engineering, and hands-on project support to assist regional wind projects that meet customer needs.

Vestas Technology & Operations > Regional Engineering & Technology > Functional Lead Siting Solutions NCE

Regional Engineering & Technology NCE represents the Vestas Technology & Operations (VTO) organisation in the 6+ GW p.a. regional business unit Northern & Central Europe (NCE), including about 30 countries with installed capacity across the spectrum of Sustainable Energy Solutions with On- & Offshore wind at the core. Our main responsibilities centre around technical contracting, technical value engineering, customisation and execution, product integrity, regional product market requirement management as well as regional product lifecycle engineering.

In RE&T NCE, we therefore:
  • Understand customer needs: We ensure that technical bid requirements and project-specific restrictions are understood, offers and contracts comply with country-specific requirements, and we track the relevant interests of key project stakeholders.
  • Optimise projects: We optimise performance & cost variables of Onshore & Offshore projects alike to maximize value for all parties, i.e. utilising the Tech Sales, Siting & Power Plant Solutions communities' global practices, processes, and tools.
  • Mitigate technical risks: We assess potential technical issues and ensure that all technical assessments align with our procedural framework, cautiously directing the technical aspects of projects to support efficient execution.
  • Connect R&D to the market: We feed back into central R&D with techno-commercial market & competitiveness requirements to shape Vestas future product portfolio for the region as well as requirements for the further development of frontline tools & processes.

As part of the RE&T NCE, the Siting Solutions team analyses site climatic conditions throughout the value chain of a wind farm and optimises configurations, layouts and operational settings of wind farms for site suitability and performance to deliver best-in-class LCoE for our customers while balancing technical risk and exposure.

Responsibilities

Reporting to the Functional Lead of Siting Solutions in NCE the responsibilities are various multi-disciplinary tasks supporting the NCE Siting Community with:
  • Supporting data science research in wind energy and supporting associated tool development
  • Actively contributing to wind farm projects in the sales phase by analysing climatic conditions, estimating energy production and assessing loads
  • Interaction and collaboration with central R&D functions
  • Various supporting tasks


Qualifications

You are studying for a Master's degree preferably in the field of engineering, data science or programming (preferably within renewable energy, wind energy, aerodynamics, meteorology or physics).

Furthermore, you have:
  • Solid background in frontend and backend Python programming
  • Theoretical background in wind turbine design, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and wind measurement campaigns
  • Practical skills with windPRo, WAsP and a CFD solver (Ellipses 3D, OpenFoam, WindSim)
  • Fluency both in verbal and written English


Competencies

As a person, you are professional and committed by nature with a good sense of quality and great analytical and communication skills. You are flexible with a positive attitude combined with an innovative mindset, and you thrive in a complex environment with aspirational people.

Furthermore, you:
  • Are good at seeing the bigger picture by combining both the commercial as well as the technical perspective
  • Can work with no supervision and at the same time you are a collaborator, always working towards reaching a common goal
  • Are accountable, completing commitments as promised while having the courage to ask questions, seek clarity, raise concerns and offer ideas


What we offer

This position could be the ideal entry ticket for a career in the central Vestas R&D or in a more market and customer-focused role in Regional Engineering & Technology depending on your preferences.

You can expect to be working a maximum of 25 hours per week.
