Why this role matters
The O&M Assistant Manager strengthens asset integrity and maintenance excellence across JNBP’s Taiwan offshore wind portfolio. Seconded to the Taiwan Project as Asset Integrity Engineer, the role serves as a day-to-day technical hub ensuring maintenance documentation, performance analysis and operational continuity across WTG, foundations and cables (FOU&CAB), electrical and IT systems (E&IT), and inventory.
Reporting to the JNBP Taiwan O&M Manager, the role is based at the Project office in Taichung at least three days per week and supports offshore WTG and BoP O&M activities as required. The role also serves as the project-level conduit for implementing JNBP’s Global O&M Readiness strategy, ensuring global best practices are operationalised at the Taiwan project, and acting as a knowledge bridge between the project, JNBP Taiwan O&M, and the JNBP Global O&M function.
In this role you will:
Asset Integrity & Maintenance Documentation (when seconded to Project)
· Provide, maintain and improve core maintenance documents for WTG, foundations and cables (FOU&CAB), electrical and IT systems (E&IT), and inventory — including asset integrity plans, long-term maintenance plans and evaluation reports — by coordinating with relevant persons, teams and authorities.
· Create and compile reports requiring coordination across multiple divisions, including monthly, bi-annual and annual maintenance and asset performance reports.
· Conduct cross-sectional projects in coordination with relevant stakeholders — for example, supporting insurers’ site surveys, LTA’s technical inquiries, and lenders’ due diligence and Q&A.
· Support offshore WTG and substructure (foundation, subsea cable) O&M activities as needed — including site visits, work execution oversight, and post-campaign reporting — and act as a technical interface with OEM and Service and Availability Agreement (SAA) contractors.
Project On-site Presence & Operational Support
· Be based at the Project office in Taichung at least three days per week, embedded with the project O&M team to support daily project operations and rapid issue resolution.
· Coordinate with project IT/OT engineers to support integration between operational systems and maintenance processes.
· Support site and office operations as needed, with focus on maintenance coordination, technical review and offshore campaign execution.
Performance Analysis & Continuous Improvement
· Conduct WTG and BoP performance analysis — including alarm trend analysis, corrective and preventive maintenance (CM/PM) effectiveness reviews, and root cause investigations — to drive continuous improvement in maintenance practices.
· Utilise Power BI and other data analytics tools to generate insights, dashboards and reports that inform O&M decision-making at both project and JNBP Taiwan levels.
· Become proficient in the project’s computerised maintenance management software (CMMS), ensuring proper system usage and accurate maintenance data populated by the project team.
· Identify and mitigate technical risks that may impact asset integrity, availability and long-term performance.
Global O&M Readiness Strategy Implementation
· Support the implementation of JNBP’s Global O&M Readiness strategy at the Taiwan project level, helping to operationalise global best practices through concrete maintenance, asset integrity and HSE initiatives.
· Act as a knowledge bridge between the Taiwan Project, JNBP Taiwan O&M team, and the JNBP Global O&M function — ensuring lessons learned, performance benchmarks and best practices flow in both directions.
