Senior Loads & Control Engineer

About the Role
As a Senior Loads & Control Engineer, you will run aeroelastic load analyses for wind turbine generators and co-lead a team of six engineers delivering loads and control work for a leading wind turbine manufacturer. You will stay hands-on with the analyses that feed design and certification, and you will act as the main technical contact for client stakeholders.

In your first three months, you’ll learn to work independently with the client’s toolchain and processes. By six months, you’ll share ownership of planning, delivery and client alignment, and you’ll be building a trusted technical relationship with the client’s engineering teams.

This role suits an engineer who enjoys going deep on the technical detail and is ready to take responsibility for a team’s output and a client relationship.

Why Join Us?

• Work on loads and control for utility-scale wind turbines, across design, certification and site-specific assessments

• Help develop features that increase annual energy production and extend turbine lifetime, and take them through to market release

• Step into technical leadership: co-lead a team of six engineers and own the technical relationship with the client

Key Responsibilities

• Run fatigue and extreme load analyses on aeroelastic WTG models in HAWC2 and FLEX5-based tools

• Define and set up Design Load Cases (DLCs) according to IEC 61400 for design and certification

• Build surrogate models to estimate loads outside design climate conditions for site-specific assessments

• Develop AEP and lifetime-extension features and mature them through the client’s product development process

• Automate simulation pipelines and post-processing using MATLAB, Python, PowerShell and Power Automate

• Co-lead a team: plan the work, review technical output and mentor less experienced engineers

• Lead project governance as the main technical contact for client stakeholders, aligning on scope, priorities and deadlines

• Ensure deliverable quality, meet timelines and manage risks proactively

What We’re Looking For

Required Qualifications

• MSc in Engineering (Aerospace/Aeronautical, Mechanical, Electrical, Naval or similar)

• 3–5 years of relevant experience, ideally in WTG loads within the wind energy sector

• Hands-on experience with aeroelastic simulation software (e.g. HAWC2, FLEX5, Bladed, OpenFAST)

• Solid knowledge of structural mechanics, structural dynamics and aerodynamics

• Intermediate scripting skills in MATLAB and/or Python

• Experience leading or coordinating small technical teams and supporting their growth

• Strong analytical thinking and root cause analysis

• Clear, professional communication and fluent English, spoken and written

Preferred Skills

• Knowledge of wind turbine control

• Experience with Simulink

We know strong loads engineers grow along different paths. Perhaps you haven’t held a formal team lead title, but you’ve mentored colleagues, coordinated teams or been the go-to person for a client. If so, we’d like to hear from you.

What We Offer

• Attractive compensation package aligned with experience and expertise

• Technical training and a clear path toward technical leadership

• International project exposure and travel opportunities

• Supportive, collaborative, and innovative work environment.
