Lean Specialist

Global Wind Service is looking for a Lean Specialist with strong WTG construction and site management experience to improve planning, productivity and project execution across our global project portfolio. This is a site-focused role. We are looking for someone who understands how wind turbine construction projects operate in practice, ideally from a Site Manager, Construction Manager, Installation Manager, Supervisor or similar background. WTG construction experience is essential; manufacturing or factory-based experience alone will not meet the requirements of this role. You will combine your practical site experience with Lean and continuous improvement methods to identify better ways of working and support project teams in implementing them. The role includes approximately 75–100 days of international travel per year. On site, you will work directly with technicians, supervisors and project teams to understand operational challenges and identify practical improvements. Between visits, you will analyse findings, develop solutions and tools, coach colleagues and follow up on implementation. Supporting our 1,500 field-based colleagues, your focus will be on improvements that deliver better productivity, consistency and project execution while maintaining safety, quality and compliance with OEM and customer requirements. Reporting to the Head of Lean@Site, you will join a dedicated team focused on improving site execution, standardising processes and driving continuous improvement. Locations can be NL, DK & PL. 3+ years of hands-on experience in WTG construction, installation or site management within the wind industry. Strong practical understanding of wind turbine construction and site execution. Experience working directly with WTG installation/construction teams and site-based operations. Demonstrated ability to identify operational challenges and implement practical improvements. Lean, operational excellence or continuous improvement experience is highly valued, but WTG construction experience is the primary requirement. Relevant technical, engineering, construction or project management background. Formal Lean qualification is an advantage, but not essential. Strong communication skills and ability to engage technicians, site management and project teams. Structured, analytical and self-driven approach. Offshore Pre-Installation experience is an advantage. Fluent English, written and spoken. Ability to travel internationally 75-100 days per year. Role & Responsibilities Visit WTG construction sites to identify opportunities to improve productivity, workflow and project execution. Identify, quantify and implement practical improvements across wind projects. Work closely with Site Managers, Supervisors, technicians and project teams to understand operational challenges and develop workable solutions. Apply Lean and continuous improvement methods to planning, workflow, standard work and site execution. Coach site leaders and Lean Champions in practical planning, problem-solving and visual management. Build strong relationships with project teams and support the adoption of improved ways of working. Support site digitalisation initiatives. Analyse findings between site visits, develop improvement proposals and coordinate implementation. Promote continuous improvement across GWS sites and teams. What We Offer Work on high-impact offshore and onshore wind projects with global teams. A role with significant site exposure and the opportunity to influence project execution across GWS. A dynamic, inclusive and informal work culture. Hybrid working and flexibility when not travelling. Competitive compensation package including pension, insurance, laptop and mobile. Ready to improve how wind projects are delivered? Apply now and bring your WTG construction and site experience where it matters.
