Working Pattern: We operate a flexible hybrid working pattern at Frazer-Nash, with time split between the office, client sites and working from home.

As industry leaders within Renewable Energy we support clients from detailed design through to project execution. We help our clients to identify, develop, and operate renewable energy projects. Through this range of engineering and project management services we are helping ensure the sector meets the ever-increasing needs of society for green, cheap, and reliable energy.

Offshore Wind and Floating Wind are core focus areas within our Renewable Energy division, where we support numerous developers, operators, and turbine and foundation OEMs throughout their projects' lifecycles. We have particular expertise in delivering industry leading research into research consortia such as the Offshore Wind Accelerator and Floating Wind JIP and using the developed methods to refine wind resource and energy yield assessments for developers.

Given the significant market demand for our skills, we are seeking a motivated and experienced Wind Resource and Energy Yield Engineer to help us deliver on our extensive portfolio of wind projects and further develop our services within the sector.

The primary focus of the role will be to support developers in resource and yield assessment and layout optimisation to support site selection, bids for leasing and for contracts for difference. You will also support wind farm operators in conducting operational assessments of existing assets to reconcile difference between actual and forecast performance, update predictions and identify performance issues.

This role provides an opportunity to combine project management and engineering skills. The candidate will be flexible in both supporting and leading services to clients, working with colleagues from across the company to deliver success. Furthermore, as a member of our team you will understand our wider service offering and have the opportunity to support some of our other key clients in conducting WTG modelling, technical assessments and assessing project level risks for an offshore wind farm across various project stages.
