Oceans of Energy B.V. – www.oceansofenergy.blue
Oceans of Energy is pioneering offshore solar: a new renewable energy industry that unlocks ocean space for abundant, affordable clean energy in harmony with nature. Since 2016, we have grown into a thriving scale-up with world-leading offshore solar technology, a strong environmental research base and a proven track record at sea. We were the first company to operate offshore solar in high-wave offshore conditions and the first to connect offshore solar inside an offshore wind farm. Our next step is to turn growing interest from offshore wind developers, utilities, governments and project developers into qualified opportunities, signed agreements and commercial projects.
We are looking for a Project Engineer to join our Projects Department. If you are passionate about renewable energy, possess strong technical expertise in marine operations, and enjoy working for a scale up, then this is your chance! As our project engineer you will be important in preparing and coordinating the test campaigns and the marine operations.
