Our People

'Working a project manager within Seaway 7 gives me a lot of interesting challenges within different disciplines. I love to be part of developing something new such as prototype equipment and operations. I manage to learn something new every day. My role creates lots of opportunities for interaction with different departments and can involve both the foundations and WTG side of the offshore wind T&I business. I joined the company in November 2020, with 10 years’ experience within offshore wind as Lead Engineer and Project Manager at a wind turbine installation contractor, and experience from oil and gas before that.'

With a background in geophysics, survey management, business development and tendering, I jumped at the chance to bring all of my skills together in one role and see the difference I can make. I am hugely enthusiastic about the offshore renewables industry. The recent merger between OHT and Seaway 7 is a huge opportunity for me to bring even more of my experience to the wider offering that our new company brings to market. It is an honour to be working with such an innovative and progressive team, to develop, build, deliver and operate some of the world’s largest state-of-the-art renewables installation vessels.

Being an engineer, working in the fast-developing offshore wind industry - where everything keeps getting higher, bigger, and heavier - is incredibly rewarding. Every day I get to work with large and highly specialized equipment such as jack-ups, offshore heavy lift cranes, and the latest generation offshore wind technology. I am responsible for WTG engineering at Seaway 7 and take the lead through all engineering stages. I work in the back-office developing the team, processes, and new concepts - contributing to the offshore wind T&I projects from start to finish. I thrive on solving the numerous challenges that arise throughout the process. Most of all I enjoy working towards a common goal with solution-orientated and dedicated on- and off-shore colleagues, suppliers, and clients.

“Seaway 7 offered me a full-time opportunity to start as a Structural Engineer right after my graduation from the Technical University in Delft. I didn’t hesitate to take this opportunity and I found myself in an amazing company with a positive ‘can –do’ working environment. I can literally see the work I do come to life and this makes me proud at the end of the day. I enjoy the work I do and can see myself progressing professionally. Seaway 7 offers endless career opportunities, may it be technical or non-technical. I couldn’t have made a better choice to start my career at Seaway 7 in Heavy Lifting.”

"As structural engineer within Seaway 7, I have the opportunity to see different aspects of projects. I am involved in both the preparatory and execution phases. Being offshore allows me to see the engineering that I have worked on in practice and the ever-changing circumstances often ask for challenging on-the-spot engineering solutions. The versatile combination of office and offshore work allows me to broaden my knowledge and develop as a professional."

"What’s exciting about my current role is that one day I’m in London meeting with one of our clients and the following week I’m in the United States on deck, in full PPE, leading a mobilisation of a vessel. It’s great working in an environment with so much diversity and meeting so many people from all over the world. In order to keep delivering high quality projects to our clients, we motivate and invest in new employees onshore and offshore to strengthen the Seaway 7 team where the reward for commitment is great opportunities and new challenges."

"Seaway 7 has provided me with the opportunity to further develop my career in a different role in a hugely exciting and challenging sector. In my short time with Seaway 7, I have been introduced to a dynamic and motivated team of professionals who want to win and deliver renewable projects to the highest standard.  There is a bright future in offshore wind and Seaway 7, with its people, vision and values, is well positioned to succeed in it."

“Seaway 7 has been known for decades as one of best-established companies in the Heavy Lift industry. The company has a broad portfolio of exciting projects, combined with diversified and a highly qualified work force, which makes it a perfect match for professional development. Seaway 7 gives unlimited possibilities for career progression. Collaborative attitude across the entire organisation makes it a fulfilling and enjoyable place to work.”
