Scour Protection Engineer
Responsible for designing and implementing solutions to prevent seabed erosion around wind turbine foundations, subsea cables, and offshore substations. They analyze hydrodynamic forces, sediment transport, and seabed conditions to develop effective scour protection measures such as rock armor placement, geotextiles, and artificial reef structures. This role involves conducting numerical modeling, site assessments, and monitoring seabed stability to ensure the long-term structural integrity of offshore wind infrastructure. Their expertise is critical in mitigating the risks of foundation exposure and cable damage caused by ocean currents and tidal forces.
Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Civil Engineering, Coastal Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong knowledge of seabed dynamics, hydrodynamics, and sediment transport modeling.
• Proficiency in engineering software such as Delft3D, MIKE 21, Plaxis, or similar hydrodynamic and geotechnical analysis tools.
Additional Requirements:
• Experience with scour protection design, offshore construction, and marine foundation stability.
• Familiarity with industry standards (e.g., DNV, ISO, API) related to offshore wind foundation protection.
• Offshore safety certifications (e.g., GWO Basic Safety Training) may be required.
• Ability to work in offshore environments and collaborate with geotechnical, structural, and marine engineering teams.
