Hello, my name is Jos Minkjan, I’ve started in offshore wind in 2008 with several levels of expertise from commissioning and troubleshooting to heavy lifting operations and main component exchanges.
The linked Safety part of the job has always fascinated me as I continued the journey in my HSE role at Vestas Offshore, Gemini Windpark and now HSE Manager for TenneT on the Large Projects Offshore HKW Beta via ESP Renewables. What I notice throughout the years is that people are stepping up when it comes to safety. They speak up and are focused on safety rather than being told to be safe. It makes a difference when people have ownership.
