O&M Manager

O&M Manager – Operational Readiness Support Senior offshore wind operations readiness role | Taiwan market | Development, construction and handover About the Role Join a leading offshore wind platform supporting the next phase of Taiwan’s offshore wind growth. This senior O&M readiness role will help prepare a major offshore wind asset for safe, compliant and efficient operations from development and construction through to handover, taking-over and the start of the warranty and operations phase.

Working closely with the O&M Package Manager, you will translate project delivery into a practical, well-controlled operating model that is ready from day one. This opportunity is particularly well suited to a Taiwan-based candidate with strong local market understanding and the ability to work across local regulatory, grid, port, marine and contractor interfaces.

Expatriate candidates with deep offshore wind operational readiness, construction-to-operations transition or O&M mobilisation experience will also be considered where they can bring strong delivery capability and transfer international best practice into the Taiwan context.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the day-to-day execution of the Operational Readiness Plan, ensuring milestones, readiness reviews, interfaces, resources and handover criteria are actively managed. Shape and implement the O&M concept, asset management approach, maintenance philosophy, staffing model and logistics set-up for the operations phase.

Bring a strong operations voice into design, construction and commissioning reviews, ensuring operability, maintainability, accessibility, reliability and HSE requirements are embedded early. Support the procurement, negotiation and mobilisation of key O&M contracts, including maintenance, logistics, port, inspections, HSE, training and specialist service scopes.

Coordinate readiness of the O&M organisation, base, warehouse, marine coordination/OCC arrangements, procedures, IT systems and readiness testing before first access and handover. Drive effective handover, warranty and defect management, including handover dossiers, punch-list close-out, contractor follow-up, claims preparation and performance tracking.

Contribute to OPEX budgeting, KPI framework development, readiness reporting, risk and opportunity management and senior stakeholder updates.
