Offshore wind track record

Built in the industry. From turbine to grid.

Experience across turbine maintenance, main component exchange, operational wind farms, marine logistics, offshore safety and high-voltage grid projects.

My HSE approach is grounded in first-hand offshore experience: from Vestas Offshore Technician through project and HSE coordination to wind-farm operations and senior HSE management.

Jos Minkjan

Offshore technical roots. A practical HSE mindset.

Jos has worked in offshore wind since 2008, from turbine maintenance and troubleshooting to project coordination, wind-farm operations and senior HSE leadership.

The approach is straightforward: understand the job, involve the people doing it and build controls that work offshore, on site and outside the meeting room.
