implementation manager London, England
Job description
O&M IMPLEMENTATION MANAGER
Corio Generation is a specialist offshore wind business, dedicated to harnessing renewable energy worldwide. With a unique blend of sector-leading expertise and deep access to long-term capital, we work closely with our partners in the creation and management of projects from origination, development and construction, and into operations.
Our 20+ GW offshore wind development portfolio is one of the largest in the world, spanning established and emerging markets, as well as floating and traditional fixed-bottom technologies. These next generation offshore wind projects will help form the backbone of the net-zero global energy system while meeting the energy needs of communities and corporate offtakers sustainably, reliably, safely and responsibly.
Corio Generation is a Green Investment Group (GIG) portfolio company, operating on a standalone basis. GIG is a specialist green investor within Macquarie Asset Management, part of Macquarie Group.
In this newly created role, you will report to the Head of O&M and be responsible for providing senior thought leadership in the operational assessment of new projects across our global portfolio. As part of this, you will be responsible for developing detailed O&M strategies, delivering due diligence on new project opportunities and supporting the development of the wider Corio O&M function. Preferred location of the role is London or Edinburgh with regular business travel.
You will have accountability for creating a clear, business aligned strategy for life-cycle operations in new projects, optimising LCOE and asset performance. You will be embedded in the technical evaluation of next generation offshore wind projects, such as the development of O&M concepts for floating wind. You will take a lead on building operational excellence capabilities, in particular developing systems and processes to support the development of the O&M organisation and standardise the transition of new projects into operations.
In this role, you will coordinate with internal stakeholders to support the delivery of new projects as they progress through the development cycle, and proactively work with contractors, JV partners and investors to maximize engagement and cooperation when it comes to all technical O&M considerations. You will be a subject matter expert for O&M queries across assets, supporting the wider global portfolio as required and drawing on expertise from the wider Corio Generation business.
To be successful in this role, you will have at least 7 years of cumulative experience in offshore wind, with good commercial acumen and an excellent technical understanding of operations and maintenance for offshore wind. You will have a track record in developing and executing O&M strategies, negotiating service contracts, and building strong working relationships throughout the design and delivery phase both internally and with project partners. Experience of new and emerging turbine technology (>15MW) is desirable.
If you possess a strong sense of accountability, are comfortable at communicating complex issues to senior stakeholders, enjoy collaboration across functional and geographic boundaries, and want to work in a fast-paced and dynamic environment, we want to hear from you.
