Your Role

You will lead the teams responsible for HVAC, Mechanical & Layout, each area with a manager responsible for their disciplines.

Your new department is located in both Esbjerg & Nordhavn in Denmark and in Gdynia, Poland and you may freely choose to be located in either location.

Your Tasks & Responsibilities

In the role, you will be leading the team to set a clear overall direction for Mechanical, Structural, HVAC & Layout, and you will ensure that the right team is set for all our projects, manage recruitment and development of the team, and ensure a consistent focus on driving performance and initiatives related to cost-effectiveness.

Semco Maritime is an attractive workplace with an informal environment based on a high degree of freedom and trust, as we believe this better unleashes what we call sustainable performance.

Your tasks will include but are not limited to:

• Leadership and management of the department, including hiring, training, motivating and coaching employees.
• Responsibility for performance/quality on entire portfolio within own technical discipline area (tender, projects).
• Ensuring coherency as widely as possible in technical solutions across the portfolio.
• Coordinate, delegate and prioritize activities and tasks.
• Cooperation and coordination with other technical areas.
• Participating in tender solutions within own area (review, sparring, QA/AC)

With reference to the Senior Director of Engineering, you will be an integral part of the business unit’s management team. You will be expected to form strong working relationships with e.g. sales, tender, project management and other technical departments. 

Your Profile

You have relevant experience from the energy industry and preferably also from the offshore wind industry. You hold a Bachelor, a Master of Science or equivalent and have a proven track record in team management – either through project management and/or from a head of department function.

As Head of Mechanical & Layout, you are assertive, nurture a trust-building environment and carry the ability to delegate and empower people effectively. You know that it is all about creating results through building a strong, motivated, and comitted team. You are focused, structured, solution-oriented and handle stakeholders proactively.
