Principal -- Floating Wind Engineer

We are looking for an experienced Floating Wind Engineer to strengthen our floating offshore wind activities across development, engineering, and execution.

We are an offshore wind developer with strong industrial roots and a clear ambition within floating offshore wind. Floating wind is a strategic growth area in our portfolio, and we are building a high‑performing technical organization to support projects from early concept development through execution and delivery.

About Fred. Olsen

The origins of Fred. Olsen & Co. date back to 1848 when the Fred. Olsen family first entered the ship owning business. Over the years, companies related to the family have diversified into other activities, from aviation to shipbuilding, oil and gas exploration and development services, and have today wide international interests.

The first investment in renewable energy was done in 1997 - in a wind power park in Scotland. Through Fred. Olsen Renewables AS a number of wind power projects have later been developed and realized, as a continuation of the Fred. Olsen companies' wide engagement in energy-related activities.

To ensure even more focus, Fred. Olsen Seawind now is established with a clear-cut ambition to becoming a leading offshore wind developer on a global scale. The sky is the limit, and playing in a secondary league is not an option.
