Lem St

Are you an aspiring People Leader ready to work with world leading Engineers in the wind industry? Do you base your professional happiness and satisfaction on succeeding through others? Can you motivate others to exceed their own potential, keep calm in stressful situations, and feel satisfied and safe in an environment sometimes chaotic and ever-changing? If yes to these questions, we would like you to read on.

Vestas Power Solutions Blades Module Blades Design Blade Structures
The Vestas wind turbine is created out of multiple important and complex parts - one of them being the blades. To ensure that Vestas always has state-of-the-art blades that ensure the maximum energy capture of the turbine, we have approximately 125 Engineers that every day put their efforts into inventing, creating, and designing these blades. Through this process our Engineers also ensure that we can produce the blades in our factories and transport them around the world. This is a fascinating and intriguing process going from the "drawing board" to an actual blade being installed on a turbine somewhere in the world. Our Engineers delivering these blades are the best and most skilled Engineers in the world - and we are proud of what we do.
Some of these great, highly skilled, dynamic, multi-cultural Engineers need a new Manager to look to when they need guidance, empowerment, support, and help. As Manager/People Leader, you will head up the part of our Blade Structures team that is based in Denmark. The team delivers the structural design, which enables the blades to withstand the harsh loads and environments expected of our industry leading products.
The DK-based part of our Blade Structures team has in total 5-8 Engineers who will be reporting to you. As these employees are primarily based in Lem in Vestjylland, you will be spending most of your time where these employees are based.
You will report to the Senior Manager of Blades Design, who is based on the Isle of Wight in England, which is also where other team members are based. This means that there will also be some degree of travel activity to England.

Responsibilities
As a people leader in Vestas you will have several very diverse and sometimes scattered areas of responsibility. The role varies very much over the year, and overall the two key responsibilities include:

People Leadership

  • Line management responsibility for all recruitments and changes
  • Take part in the yearly wheel of line leadership tasks, e.g. Employee Survey action planning, merit increase, and Continuous Performance & Development Dialogue
  • Facilitate, coach and support personal and professional development for all individuals in the team
  • Secure the optimal working conditions for the team by working and communicating effectively cross-functionally to optimise interfaces, processes, and stakeholder interactions for the team
  • Handle allocation of resources in the team to the projects in which we do our blades development
  • Administer people-related tasks such as vacation and sickness

Business Leadership

  • Take part in forming the relevant strategies for the functional area
  • Convert strategy into action-oriented objectives for each employee and follow up to ensure targets are met
  • Follow general performance of the team in periodic performance reviews
  • Participate in financial activities
  • Secure the right competency level in the team that matches the current and future business needs
  • Continuously manage stakeholder relationships throughout the value chain
  • Engage and sometimes drive continuous improvement initiatives

Qualifications
We are not specifically looking for a technically skilled person able to talk to the employees on a technical level, however it is of course a benefit. We are looking for a person that has the personal experience and capabilities to create a motivating and satisfying environment for our Engineers. We see some of the key qualifications as:

  • Proven successful track record in managing and leading others to success, preferably teams of 5-10 people or more
  • Experience with leading Engineers or other highly technically skilled employees
  • Educational background that has secured an analytical and holistic approach
  • Experience in navigating between multiple stakeholders in large companies
  • Professional background in big multinational corporations is preferred, but not mandatory
  • Advanced level in English both in speech and in writing
  • Knowledge of Jira and/or MS Project is an advantage

Competencies
As a Manager the responsibility of our people lies with you. Therefore, we put great emphasis on the interpersonal and behavioural side of the person, and highly value the following traits:

  • Empathy; understanding where people are - even though they might not be where you are
  • Communication; putting effort into communicating sufficiently to the team and surroundings
  • Change readiness; change is inevitable, and it can 'rock the boat' for a team. You must be the 'steady hand' that knows how to proceed
  • Able to reach buy-in; motivating and leading the team so that they will drive in the same direction
  • Open and engaging; creating an atmosphere of openness and engagement
  • Listens to understand, not to reply
  • Remain calm in stressful situations; doesn't let change or new challenges get in the way of the ability to act

What we offer
We offer an exciting job with excellent opportunities for professional and personal development in an inspiring environment at the world's leading wind turbine producer. We value initiative, responsibility and the right balance between creativity and quality in all solutions.
You will become part of a highly professional team where we value each member to take ownership of their assignments and lead them until implementation, with openness and sharing amongst the Team to grow and develop.

Additional information
Primary work location is in Lem, Denmark.
You must expect up to 40 days of annual travel activity.
