What does your day-to-day look like at OWC?
A typical day at OWC involves internal team meetings to align on project tasks and ensure coordination across different work streams. My main focus is on identifying and gathering metocean data, followed by analyzing it to develop site characterization reports and design criteria for offshore wind projects.
Additionally, I work on parallel tasks such as metocean transportation analysis, weather downtime analysis, and designing measurement campaigns.
What inspired you to join the industry?
I’ve always been linked to the ocean, both personally and professionally. The offshore wind industry presented the perfect opportunity to channel my passion and knowledge into creating impactful, real-world solutions that contribute to a more sustainable future.
Can you tell us about something exciting you are working on right now?
I’ve been working on a range of projects in areas prone to suffering the effects of severe cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons), it’s quite interesting and challenging to model and assess the potential risks to design withstand projects.
What are the main challenges facing Metocean currently and how can OWC help our clients mitigate these issues?
Obtaining high-quality, site-specific metocean data is essential for accurate project design and operations planning, but it can be challenging in remote offshore locations. At OWC, we are experienced in developing wind and metocean measurement campaigns, ensuring reliable data is available from the early stages of a project.
What does the future look like in energy and oceans in Spain?
The future of energy and oceans in Spain is promising, especially with the country’s commitment to renewable energy and offshore wind development. Spain’s coastal areas offer encouraging wind resources, but realizing this potential requires a comprehensive understanding of metocean conditions and regional factors.
What do you enjoy most about working as part of OWC?
Although I primarily work remotely, I look forward to the times when we gather for team events, which often lead to relaxed and enjoyable dinners or similar outings, these moments foster a sense of camaraderie and connection. Additionally, the high level of expertise across the group is incredibly enriching, and I’m always learning something new from my colleagues.
