Would you like to turn complex technical information into a reliable foundation for offshore wind operations?
As our Working Student – As-Built Update, DT+SB OSS, you will help review, organise and consolidate the as-built documentation for the DanTysk and Sandbank offshore substations. By making technical information easier to find and ensuring that the correct document revisions are available, you will support the safe and reliable operation of critical offshore wind infrastructure.
At Vattenfall, we believe there is a way to build a more sustainable energy future. In this role, your careful work will help our engineers and technical specialists make well-informed decisions every day.
About Business Area Wind
We develop, construct and operate wind farms, both onshore and offshore, to accelerate the growth of renewable energy. We combine international expertise with innovation to deliver world-class projects. In this way, we contribute every day to the transition towards a more sustainable energy system.
Your main responsibilities
Different phases in the history of the DanTysk and Sandbank assets have resulted in technical documentation being stored across several digital and physical locations. Your goal will be to help create a structured and dependable joint archive in which colleagues can locate the correct documentation efficiently.
You will receive guidance and technical support from experienced Service Engineers and work with colleagues across offshore operations, engineering, regional support and document management.
Your main activities will include:
Reviewing and comparing as-built and project documentation held in OneDrive, LiveLink, SharePoint, external hard drives, DVDs and USB storage devices
Identifying duplicate, superseded or corrupted files and supporting the clarification of document status
Sorting and consolidating the available documentation into a structured joint archive
Aligning the archive with the existing shipyard documentation structure
Adding RDSPP coding or document tags in accordance with agreed requirements
Handling technical documentation carefully and maintaining consistent quality throughout repetitive review activities
Consulting Service Engineers and relevant technical specialists when document content or classification requires clarification
Helping improve the accessibility and reliability of documentation used for operating and maintaining the offshore substations
Success in this role means that engineers and supporting functions can find the right information more quickly and have greater confidence that they are working with the correct revision.
Your profile
You enjoy bringing order to complex information and understand that careful documentation work can make a real difference to engineering and operational decisions. You work in a structured way, remain attentive when handling large volumes of information and communicate openly when something needs clarification.
