This position will be a part of the Green Volt team, a pioneering floating offshore wind project, for which V rgr nn and Flotation Energy was awarded a UK Government Contract for Difference.

The project will be a catalyst for the creation of a robust floating wind supply chain in the UK, and an essential steppingstone from current small-scale projects to gigawatt-size developments. Green Volt represents an important leap towards the 5GW floating offshore wind target the UK has set for 2030, and the benefits of Green Volt will be felt beyond the UK, being a catalyst for the development of floating wind elsewhere in Europe.

In addition, the role will work closely with the Supply Chain Director to develop contracting strategy, establishing best practice policies and procedures, as well as providing assistance outside of the supply chain on contract structure, NDA's and the like.
