Methods & Documentation Engineer (Major Components Exchange) – H/F

Project details

The Major components Engineer/subcontractor will be responsible for defining maintenance tools & instructions for specific critical operations such as :

• Corrective operations requesting specific vessel and/or tools and/or parts >~10 Tn: Blade, nacelle, hub, generator, bearings or transformer replacement.
• Maintenance retrofit campaigns requesting specific methods development.
• Activities interfacing with TP working platform/service crane together with Engineering/customer/marine operations

Major Components engineer/subcontractor will be closely working with Product Engineering department, Transport& Installation department, Services and Project management team by delivering instructions & tooling. She / He will participate to design reviews regarding major component scope and will support or supervise repair operations with sites if require. He / She will be responsible to deliver Maintenance Field Instructions and Tools for major components replacements with respect to environment, health and safety and drive quality and productivity enhancements to continuously improve performance and customer satisfaction.

MCE delivery plan is led by the Client MCE Leader who assign deadlines and priorities to the team. Each subcontractor will then follow MCE development procedure by fulfilling gates and milestones in an autonomous way, securing each deliverable from his related scope of activity.
