The Role

As a Fabrication or Quality Inspector, you will be part of a team that ensures offshore wind components such as foundations, substations, cables, and wind turbine generators meet strict quality requirements. Your expertise may be in welding inspection, non‑destructive testing, or protective coatings, and you will apply it while working at supplier facilities, fabrication yards, pre‑assembly ports, and project sites.

As a member of the international team, you will also contribute consulting services to support the construction of utility‑scale offshore wind projects.

What You Will Do

• Verify processes against project specifications, industry codes, and client requirements.
• Follow production or assembly progress against the plan, reporting on deviations.
• Possibly witness non‑destructive testing (UT, RT, MT, PT), review test reports, and evaluate results against acceptance criteria.
• Document inspection findings through checklists, daily logs, material certificates, and quality reports.
• Develop or follow Inspection Test Plans (ITPs), report non‑conformances, and oversee corrective actions.
• Conduct final inspections, witness functional tests if required, and confirm compliance before dispatch.
• Initiate the NCR process when quality requirements are breached, reviewing manufacturing records and final dossiers, and ensuring timely acceptance of final documentation.
• Promote a strong quality culture and high HSE standards, prepare regular reports, liaise with verification bodies, and provide expert back‑office support for complex technical issues.

What We Are Looking For

• Relevant degree or study program within Engineering or similar, paired with a general interest in developing renewable energy projects.
• Fabrication quality inspection experience, with a focus on utility‑scale renewable projects.
• Strong knowledge of quality standards and industry regulations related to offshore wind farm construction and installation.
• Excellent attention to detail for identifying defects, snags, and non‑conformities during inspections.
• Ability to work in challenging offshore environments while maintaining safety and quality standards.
• Proficiency in interpreting technical drawings, specifications, and inspection plans.
• Strong problem‑solving skills to address quality issues and propose corrective actions.
• Familiarity with inspection tools, techniques, and documentation processes.
• Ability to work on‑site and travel as required by project needs.
• Fluency in English and excellent communication skills, enabling you to present complex matters in a professional and straightforward way; any additional language is an advantage.
• High motivation, flexibility, and agility with a can‑do attitude.
• Team player attitude with a curious and innovative mindset.
