Staff Highlight
Meet Randhir (Randy) Singh
Randy is based in the New York City area and specializes in bringing large-scale offshore wind projects from concept to reality. He guides them through every step of the development phase, right up to engineering, procurement, and construction handover for final investment decisions. Along the way, he keeps everything on track, making sure projects stay on schedule, on budget, and up to the highest standards, while also managing budgets, scopes, and timelines.
When not steering offshore wind projects toward success, Randhir enjoys being a dad to his two boys and travelling with his family as much as he can. Picture is from a recent trip to Rottnest Island, Perth, Western Australia! #Quokkaselfie
Some highlights include a brand-new search bar, never-before-seen photos, and expanded educational content about offshore wind. We’re also launching an Offshore Wind 101 blog series—start by reading our first post: Why Do We Need Offshore Wind.
Stay tuned for more insights, stories, and resources that bring the world of offshore wind to life!
