• Review offshore site investigation data including but not limited to thermal and electrical resistivities
including potential thermal hotspots and provide design input to the Project Team's overall scrutiny of the
contractor's installation methodology. Work with contractors to investigate ways to optimise site
investigation data such as in-situ TR testing etc.
• Review and comment on detailed costing of all materials, production and technical services provided by
the contractors.
• Perform technical review of reports, design and system studies supplied by contractors and third parties
(e.g. Cable and Accessories Design and Analysis Reports, cable optimisation, fault studies etc.).

General
• Contribute proactively to the delivery of an inherently safer wind farm that minimises the cost of energy
over the life of the project.
• Integrate the HSE and environmental requirements set out by the project into the cable delivery strategy;
provide package support to their development where necessary.
• Input into a risk register, HSE assessments and engineering decision log for the cables and feed into wider
project processes.
• Appropriate application of relevant standards and specifications in line with OFTO and project
expectations.
• Support value management and project optimisation process through tracking of optimisation activities
