2. Exhibit advanced expertise in the design of monopiles, jackets, or floating systems, employing integrated analysis techniques such as pile-soil interaction, PISA soil analysis, and time-domain analysis from wind and wave dynamic loading.
3. Provide effective leadership for a small team, fostering innovation and proactivity within the project group in a multidisciplinary team setting.
4. Ensure that all design work under their purview is performed, reviewed, checked, and approved in accordance with engineering procedures or as specified in a Project Quality Plan. Be accountable for delivering assigned work packages.

5. Experience in Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) foundation design, familiarity with design developments in the offshore wind industry, statutory regulations, codes of practice, and standards. It is preferable to possess some, if not all, of these competencies. Proficiency in the use of software such as ANSYS, SESAM, or to a lesser extent, SACS and STAADPRO.
6. Solid theoretical foundation supported by practical experience in offshore structural activities such as transportation and installation procedures, design for manufacturability, and offshore environmental loading.
7. A team player with good interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to adapt to diverse working environments.
8. With a 'can-do' attitude, capacity to learn from others as well as being assertive in presenting own technical works. Mentoring more junior engineers to be part of the delivery team.
