Junior Transportation & Installation Engineer to Vattenfall

About the role

Imagine knowing that your engineering solutions and logistical planning directly drive the offshore installation of massive future assets, enabling clean energy for millions of homes.

Reaching climate goals and building a fossil-free future requires diverse viewpoints, continuous curiosity, and genuine teamwork. At Vattenfall, they don't expect you to arrive with all the answers on day one; they are just as excited to learn from your ideas as they are to help you grow into an exceptional engineer.

On behalf of Vattenfall, Academic Work is looking for a committed and adaptable engineer to join the Transport & Installation (T&I) Engineering team within Project Execution. This is a 1-year full-time employment through Academic Work, where you will work on-site and integrated as an essential part of the team at Vattenfall. Here, you will join a dynamic, growing team of 21 engineers acting as the technical backbone across the entire asset lifecycle – from early methodology, bid, and tender support into actual project execution, operational support, and eventual decommissioning.

In this role, you will hold a key integrative position where you collaborate across all work packages, contractors, and technical disciplines. You will step into a work environment with high trust, adaptable leadership, and a strong focus on both team culture and individual well-being.

At Vattenfall, they foster a culture built on trust, well-being, and balance. For them, it is not just about reaching our goals, but very much about how they reach them:

• Supportive community & leadership: Adaptable, individual-focused leadership and a strong team spirit in an expanding department.
• Inclusive environment: An open environment where you can ask questions, challenge existing ways of working, learn from mistakes, and share ideas from day one.
• Flexibility with respect for your life: A balanced working environment with flexible working hours, weekly work-from-home options, and the openness to discuss flexible working models.

Work tasks

n this role, you will play an essential part in successfully driving the transport and installation of Vattenfall’s future offshore assets. Your tasks will naturally evolve with the project phases – ranging from tender preparation and contractor selection to detailed design, execution, and as-built evaluation.

Your main focus areas include:

• Technical Evaluation & Review: Evaluating technical documentation, method statements, and as-built documentation from suppliers and contractors.
• Contractor & Interface Management: Managing contractors and driving stakeholder engagement across interconnected package lifecycles.
• Milestones & Deliveries: Securing project milestone deliveries and steering projects through critical decision gates and decision logs.
• Technical Deviations: Handling and resolving technical deviations to ensure high safety and quality standards.
• Business Case Development: Assisting in developing sound technical and commercial business cases for installation methods and concepts.
• Cross-Package Integration: Serving as a vital integrator between various component teams and operational packages to ensure seamless execution.

We are looking for someone who:

• Holds an Engineering degree with a focus on offshore wind, marine engineering, logistics, transportation, or a related discipline.
• Is self-driven, curious, and motivated by solving complex technical and logistical puzzles.
• Brings an open, resilient, and collaborative mindset, thriving in an interactive setting with many stakeholders.
• Has strong communication skills and an integrative approach to problem-solving across disciplines.
• Speaks and writes fluent English (Vattenfall’s corporate language).

It is an advantage if you:

• Have experience with offshore wind projects, heavy lift, marine operations, or transport and installation logistics.
• Have worked with contractor management, technical tender evaluation, or package interface management.
