Engineer Energy Transition Industry

As a Project Engineer R&D and Testing – Wind Energy, my tasks involve supporting the set-up of electromechanical testing campaigns. I coordinate the technical and commercial feasibility checks of both climatic test and validation projects. Additionally, I lead operations and develop opportunities regarding our large climatic test chamber in Antwerp. By allowing companies to perform (extreme) climatic tests on small-scale and large-scale equipment, I actively participate in creating reliable and sustainable technical solutions for the world of tomorrow.
