Working Student (m/f/d) / master thesis in lifetime extension of offshore assets

Hannover

To support our Loads Department in the field of reassessment and lifetime extension of offshore structures, we are looking for a motivated working student (m/f/d) to join our team as soon as possible. You will contribute to ongoing projects and research activities.

Offshore wind farms are not only being built — the first generation of wind farms is now reaching its originally planned design lifetime. By updating design assumptions using as-built information, uncertainties can be reduced and wind farms can be operated more efficiently. Our work focuses on topics such as lifetime extension, preventive maintenance strategies, and optimized operational concepts.

Your exciting, varied tasks

Our offshore wind department in Hannover is seeking support for the following tasks:

  • Contributing to research and industry projects in the field of lifetime
    extension and structural integrity management
  • Developing databases and automation solutions using Python and SQL
  • Performing load simulations of offshore structures using Bladed or in-house software
  • Preparing and presenting results (figures, reports, presentations)
  • Conducting technical research on specific engineering topics

What you should bring with you

  • Enrolled student (m/f/d) in a relevant field such as mechanical or civil
    engineering, computer science, industrial engineering, physics, or comparable
  • Interest in load simulations / structural dynamics and data management in the offshore wind sector
  • Advanced programming skills (ideally Python) and/or strong experience with load simulations of offshore structures
  • Strong willingness to learn and motivation to familiarize yourself with new topics and software tools
  • Independent, careful, and reliable working style, combined with good teamwork skills

We offer

  • Fair compensation
  • Hands-on involvement in exciting research and industry projects
  • Deep insight into reassessment and lifetime extension
  • A supportive and open-minded team
  • Flexible working hours compatible with your studies

If you are interested in applying, please send your CV and cover letter in either German or English to: bewerbung@j-b-o.de

Please include the job ID JBO-OLD-001 in the subject line of your application.
