Rapidly growing its renewables business is core to bp’s strategy – by 2030 bp aims to have developed around 50GW of net renewable generating capacity up from 3.3GW in 2020. Following the recent bid submission for two offshore wind leases in the Netherlands, and in line with our future strategic growth ambitions for offshore wind in the Netherlands, we are looking to hire great people to join our offshore wind team in the Netherlands.

This role is focused on the HKW tender and/or future tenders in the Netherlands.

We are looking for high caliber individuals to join our expanding our country team to support our growing portfolio of projects. The Technical Project Manager will handle all offshore wind project development related activities in the country.
