Local Unit & Position Description

Are you excited about the Offshore Wind Opportunities in the United States? Would you like to join a team who is involved in more than 80% of the active US projects? DNV's Renewables Certification (RC) is seeking an engineer with a background in subsea cables (electrical or mechanical), to join our RC team in Boston. RC has the global responsibility for Type Certification (TC), Component Certification (CC) and Project Certification (PC) within DNV Energy Systems. Currently, DNV RC consists of more than 200 experts with locations in Boston, Busan, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Dresden, London, Shanghai, Beijing, and Taipei. DNV is a market leader in Renewables Certification, and we work with the leading OEM's in the TC wind market and are involved in more than 80% of PC for offshore wind parks in the world.

In the US, the Code of Federal Regulations, 30 CFR 585, require that the design, fabrication, transportation, and installation of the entire offshore wind facility is certified by a BOEM approved Certified Verification Agent (CVA). DNV's position as a PC market leader led to DNV being the first CVA to successfully deliver a Certified Facility Design Report (FDR) and Fabrication and Installation Report (FIR) for the Cape Wind project, as well as the first successful Federal project to reach commercial operations, CVOW Pilot. Today, DNV is the approved CVA for more than 80% of the active projects in the US.

Offshore wind in the US will continue to grow with nearly a dozen more lease areas being auctioned off 2022 by BOEM. To meet this demand, RC is expanding its team in the US and therefore seeks highly skilled and motivated persons to represent RC services in the rapidly growing CVA offshore wind market. Overall responsibility of the position is to perform technical review work of the of the subsea power cables (and their interfaces to the wind turbine generators, offshore substation, and onshore termination) in collaboration with RC colleagues across our global organization. Technical review of subsea power cables considers the electrical, mechanical and interface designs, including manufacturing, transportation, and installation (with focus on CBRA, burial assessment studies, cable route design and secondary structures). Successful candidates may also perform onsite witnessing of fabrication, transportation, and installation work and/or serve as asset package or project managers for US offshore wind projects.

The position is located in our Medford (Boston) office.
