Wood Thilsted (WT) has relocated two specialist engineers to South Korea to support the development of about 10 potential fixed and floating offshore wind farms.
Jack Cran and Luke Graydon will be co-located with Copenhagen Offshore Partners (COP) in South Korea from April 2023.
Jack will bring his skills in Geotechnical Engineering while Luke will be supporting on Floating Foundation Engineering. Both will be supported by the company’s teams in Taiwan and Europe.
Hannah Abend, Wood Thilsted Director of Growth said: “Korea has great ambitions in the offshore wind sector and Wood Thilsted is looking to make early hires to support the development of South Korean capabilities in offshore wind engineering.
“The first step to this approach is locating key WT team members in South Korea to work with our partners on South Korea’s exciting offshore wind projects, while also identifying and hiring future talent.”
Johan Hodel Meincke, Wood Thilsted regional lead for APAC said: “Having established exceptionally strong partnerships in Taiwan that have enabled us to harness local talent and supply chains in ways other consultancies cannot, WT is looking to build up a similar network in South Korea that benefits local communities and the economy.”
