Do you want to work on the leading edge of wind turbine technology, operations and reliability? DNV Energy Systems is looking for a Senior Wind Turbine Blade Engineer to join our Asset Operations and Maintenance team serving wind turbine manufacturers, investors, lenders, owners, and operators. The role will have a particular emphasis on blades - their design, manufacture and quality, including addressing issues that occur during manufacturing, transport, erection, operation, maintenance, repair, and recycling. You will work closely with customers, and with other DNV engineers and project managers.

Why should you work with us? Because within DNV, organizational culture and how we collectively influence the world for future generations matters deeply to us.

Our approach reflects the equity, respect, and diversity we wish to see in the world.

This position will be located in our Seattle, WA; Portland, OR; or Houston, TX office, but other DNV Renewables Advisory markets in the United States will be considered.
