Interface Management for Offshore Operational Preparation (m/w/d)

Job Description

WE AT KODIAK stand for in-depth expertise in the implementation of complex infrastructure projects. As a reliable partner for project implementers and developers, we realize challenging linear projects, energy and infrastructure projects across Europe - whether onshore, offshore or the modernization of existing grids.

We believe that genuine collaboration, personal development and room for new ideas are just as important as technology. Our specialists take a holistic approach to projects, think in terms of solutions and accompany complex projects from the initial concept to commissioning with passion, responsibility and an eye for detail.

In this role, you will play a central part in shaping and refining complex EPCI and maintenance contracts from an operational perspective.

• Contract management from an operational perspective: structuring, reviewing, and supporting negotiations in close cooperation with the purchasing and legal departments
• Operations readiness: planning and managing the handover from project to operation
• Internal interface and stakeholder management (between the "project organization" and later the "operational organization")
• Creation and maintenance of schedules and milestone plans (e.g., with MS Project)
• Ensuring quality requirements

Requirements & Your Expertise

• Bachelor's or Master's in Engineering (electrical, mechanical, industrial), Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field. Equivalent practical experience in offshore EPC/EPCI also considered.
• EPCI/ O&M Contract proficiency - proven experience in drafting/reviewing technical appendices
• Exposure to offshore transmission (HVDC/HVAC platforms, cables, converter stations) or similar large infrastructure (wind, substations)
• Experience in project management is an advantage
• Fluent in German and English (minimum B2 level)
• Successful candidate must have eligibility to work in the EU, along with the outlined qualifications

Our Range

• Access to our corporate benefit program with high discounts on a variety of well-known and strong brands

Please note that all offers - except for working hours and the option to work from home - apply only to our permanent employees and not to freelancers.
