Join us in this role where you’ll play an important role in driving supplier performance management and securing a robust supply chain for monopile and jacket foundations for our global offshore wind project pipeline.

Welcome to Procurement Wind Power
You’ll be part of Supplier Performance Management Foundations where you, together with your colleagues, will work in a newly established central function currently located in Germany, Poland, and Denmark.

• creating and maintaining mutually trustful and beneficial relationships with our suppliers
• promoting technical development of our suppliers and continuous optimization of the supply chain for our project portfolio
• engaging in risk management and managing escalations and nonconformance claims.

To succeed in the role, you:

• a relevant degree in engineering or supply chain management discipline, preferably supplemented by a commercial degree and being qualified as international welding engineer, such as FROSIO as an advantage
• have more than five years of experience as project manager for large product development or infrastructure projects, with a project management certification like IPMA level A/B or PMI as an advantage
