In addition to project execution, our project execution teams also support the rest of Vestas' value chain with our knowledge of offshore construction projects and consequently, many of our tasks also require cross-organisational collaboration.

You will be the primary financial expert and problem solver on the offshore wind power projects for the region working closely together with the project managers and the project management team members. Together you will both forecast and cost control the offshore wind power projects in the Asia Pacific region from handover from Sales throughout the execution period until handover to Service. You will assist in the development and analysis of relevant information for project operations to make informed decisions. This can include trend analysis and forecasting, ensuring we are proactive.

• Monitoring and updating of project hedging (currency exposure) when appropriate, liaising with Vestas Treasury;
• Preparation of financial input for Executive project summary.
