Senior Wind Engineer, GreenGo Energy

Senior Wind Engineer for leading international cleantech company

Play a major role in developing wind capabilities in GreenGo Energy Group

GreenGo Energy is developing and constructing large scale renewable energy parks in Denmark, US, Sweden, Baltics, Germany and Poland – primarily solar parks but in the near future also battery storage, Power-to-X and on- and offshore wind for institutional investors, infrastructure, and renewable funds. Do you have strong wind energy engineering experience and do you want to build up the GreenGo Energy wind energy capabilities from an engineering point of view in a young and rapidly developing renewable energy company then we have the role for you.

Wind energy engineering

The Senior Wind Engineer is responsible for performing the engineering activities of wind utility scale projects during the development, potentially construction, and O&M phases of a project primarily in Denmark and Sweden but later also at other GreenGo Energy locations. Those design and modeling tasks include the use of windPRO, the industry standard software for energy modeling, as well as other ancillary tools and resources to stay current with prevailing wind energy modeling best practices.

You will be interfacing with the rest of the Engineering team, the Development Team, the EPCM team and external consultants and advisors, as well as Investors and their representatives, in a global environment, EU, and Mexico.

The key tasks and responsibilities of the role are:

• Wind Resource Assessment: Conduct detailed wind resource assessments using meteorological data and advanced modeling tools to predict wind patterns and evaluate the potential energy output of wind turbines in specific locations.
• Turbine Selection and Design: Choose appropriate wind turbine models based on site-specific conditions and project requirements. Evaluate turbine performance, efficiency, and reliability, taking into account factors like wind speed, turbulence, and wake effects.
• Project layout: in the case of co-location of the wind park to a solar farm, the Wind Engineer will work closely with the relevant D&E team members to optimize the layout of such hybrid project (maintenance roads, MV cables location, etc.)
• Research and Innovation: Stay up to date with advancements in wind energy technology and industry trends. Conduct research to identify opportunities for improving the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of wind energy systems.
• Budgeting and Cost Analysis: Collaborate with EPCM Team to estimate project costs, monitor budgets, and identify cost-saving opportunities without compromising quality and safety.
• Project Planning: Collaborate with development project managers and stakeholders to determine the feasibility of wind energy projects. Analyze potential locations for wind farms based on factors such as wind resource assessments, topography, environmental impact, and local regulations (zoning permit, building permit, etc.).

Further job tasks for the role will be:

• In collaboration with the EPCM team monitor the construction and installation of wind turbines and their associated infrastructure
• Create structural and electrical design in collaborate with Civil/Structural, Mechanical and Electrical engineers
• Environmental Impact Assessment in cooperation with the Zoning Permit Team
• Health and Safety: Prioritize health and safety considerations throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and promoting a safe working environment for all team members.

You report solid line to the Design & Engineering Director based in Mexico and dotted line reporting to the Project Engineering Manager, Europe. The location of the role will be at the GreenGo Energy Headquarters in Vedbæk near Copenhagen. There will be app. 20% travel primarily to sites in Denmark and in Sweden.

Experienced Wind Engineer

You have at least a Bachelor’s degree in engineering or other applicable discipline and 3+ years’ experience in the energy sector, specifically, wind technology. You possess strong technical knowledge of wind resource and performance modeling, experience with tools such as windPRO, and other resource related software tools.

Further we are looking for you who have:

• Strong command and fluency in Danish and English (Spanish will be a plus, but not a must)
• Knowledge of due diligence and risk assessment process.
• Understanding of project contracts that may include computation of performance metrics including power purchase agreements, interconnection agreements, supply contracts, balance of plant construction contracts, and operations and maintenance contracts.
• Experience with AutoCAD
• Understanding of Gantt charts (MS Project or equivalent)
• Assertiveness, ability to cope with pressure and team player personality

About GreenGo Energy Group:

GreenGo’s 360 full services business model includes origination, development, engineering, construction, operations & maintenance and asset management services for project investors, our clients, tailored to the client’s needs and investment profile.

Strategic focus is transaction models that keep solar assets off balance sheet through early-stage transactions in the project development cycle and, in this process, secures full cycle financing from our clients.

This differentiated partnership model with clients lowers GreenGo’s overall risk profile and ensures a highly scalable growth platform, as the funding needs over own balance sheet are limited. GreenGo revenue streams are created by milestone fee payments throughout the development and construction cycle and through the clients funding GreenGo’s internal development costs and overheads.

Typically, GreenGo develops through a 250-1,500 MWp portfolio approach per portfolio transaction, ensuring scale, diversification of risk and investment size fit for the our clients. Investor commitments through this portfolio approach are generally between EUR 150m and EUR 900m.

GreenGo has more than 18GWp of solar and storage projects in various stages of development in selected U.S. states and Northern Europe, of which more than 4.5GWp has achieved full cycle financing through partnership agreements.

Culture

The culture can be characterized as informal yet ambitious with a strong will to succeed and an ability to execute. Together with an agile and entrepreneurial mindset, these traits have been key elements in
