To start as soon as possible, full time, permanent

The first generation of offshore wind farms is entering a new phase. As the industry addresses the opportunities and challenges of life extension, repowering and decommissioning, you'll help RWE develop a world-class decommissioning capability that supports the long term sustainability of our global portfolio.

Working within the Project Delivery team and as part of a matrix team led by the Decommissioning Lead, you'll shape the strategies, governance frameworks, supply chain relationships and delivery models that will underpin future decommissioning activities. This is a rare opportunity to help define industry best practice and contribute to the next stage of offshore wind's evolution.

RWE is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment - we value your passion, your willingness to learn and your desire to thrive. Even if you don't have all the above skills, need flexible working arrangements or other adjustments not yet listed here, we'd love to hear from you.
