NYSERDA’s Offshore Wind Team is leading the coordination of offshore wind opportunities in New York State and is supporting the development of at least 9,000 megawatts of offshore wind energy by 2035 in a responsible and cost-effective manner. With more than 4,300 megawatts in active development and a steady cadence of procurements to grow the portfolio, New York is building an offshore wind supply chain that will create more than 10,000 jobs in manufacturing, installation, and operation of offshore wind facilities, capitalizing on a regional commitment to scale the resource. These jobs are expected to support New York wind farms as well as regional projects and many will provide sustained career opportunities for New Yorkers for the duration of a project’s useful life, projected at 25 years and beyond.

The Assistant Director of Offshore Wind will report to the Director of Offshore Wind and will provide support for and potentially manage a portion of the approximately 12-member Team.
The Assistant Director of Offshore Wind will help lead an important and highly visible program that includes the competitive procurement of new strategic projects, rigorous contract management of the growing portfolio of contracted projects and driving workforce development and economic development including manufacturing and port infrastructure investments to ensure New York maintains its position as the nation’s hub for offshore wind.
