Mechanical Analytics Engineer - Offshore Wind

About the role

The Mechanical Analytics Engineer ensures the reliability, availability and structural integrity of offshore wind turbine fleets by analysing Condition Monitoring System (CMS) and vibration data to spot early mechanical and structural anomalies. The role sits at the intersection of data analytics and mechanical engineering and acts as the technical point of contact for internal teams and external customers. Travel to offshore sites for inspections and meetings is required.

Key responsibilities

• Monitor and interpret CMS and vibration data from drivetrains (generators, main bearings) and structural components, spotting early anomaly signatures and degradation trends.
• Investigate and resolve technical non-conformities flagged by CMS alerts or inspections, and develop mitigation or repair strategies.
• Lead and support Root Cause Analyses (RCAs) for complex failures, working with engineering teams on long-term corrective actions.
• Act as the technical go-to person for mechanical and CMS questions, turning findings into clear recommendations for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Partner with field operations, asset management, engineering and quality teams on turbine health and availability.
• Travel periodically to offshore wind sites for inspections, stakeholder meetings and technical oversight.

Required profile

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Wind Energy, Mechatronics or a related discipline.
• Strong experience in wind energy (offshore preferred) or heavy rotating machinery.
• Hands-on experience analysing CMS and vibration data.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with direct customer-facing experience.

Required skills

• Working knowledge of wind turbine drivetrains (gearboxes, bearings, generators) and structural dynamics.
• Preferred: ISO vibration certification (Category II or III).
• Preferred: experience leading RCAs using 5-Why, Fishbone or Fault Tree Analysis.
• Preferred: proficiency with CMS software, data visualisation tools and engineering analysis software.

What we offer

• A competitive benefits package covering health, family and financial wellbeing.
• Ongoing on-the-job learning and career growth opportunities.
