Building successful offshore wind projects starts long before construction begins. It requires the right leadership, technical expertise and commercial capability in place from day one. Our partnership with Copenhagen Offshore Partners demonstrates how strategic talent acquisition can support market entry and long-term project success across multiple countries and cultures.

The Challenge

As offshore wind development accelerated across Asia-Pacific, Copenhagen Offshore Partners required experienced leadership and specialist professionals capable of supporting market entry, project development, stakeholder engagement, commercial activities, and project execution across multiple countries. The challenge was not simply finding qualified candidates. Many of the required professionals possessed highly specialised offshore wind expertise, while also requiring local market knowledge, regulatory understanding, and the ability to operate within emerging offshore wind markets. Building these teams successfully would be critical to supporting project development activities and establishing long-term regional capability.

Our Solution

Atlas NextWave partnered with Copenhagen Offshore Partners to identify and secure senior professionals across a range of strategic functions throughout Asia-Pacific.

Appointments included:

  • Technical Development Director
  • Cable Package Manager
  • Business Development Director
  • Head of External Affairs
  • Business Manager
  • PMO Manager
  • Project Finance & Commercial professionals
  • FP&A Analysts
  • Senior Financial Analysts

By leveraging our regional presence, offshore wind network, and specialist renewable energy recruitment expertise, we supported the attraction of talent across multiple APAC markets, helping COP establish the capability required to support project development activities throughout the region.

The Outcome

Atlas NextWave successfully supported the deployment of 16 senior professionals across multiple Asia-Pacific markets, helping Copenhagen Offshore Partners strengthen its regional project development capability and support offshore wind opportunities across the region. The project demonstrates Atlas NextWave’s ability to support complex market-entry strategies and build high-performing leadership teams in emerging renewable energy markets. Beyond individual placements, the partnership highlights our capability to provide strategic workforce solutions that enable developers and project owners to establish long-term operational capability in new markets.
