What Jörss - Blunck - Ordemann | JBO does

Jörss - Blunck - Ordemann (JBO Engineering Group GmbH) is a Hamburg-based German engineering consulting firm founded in 1963, with 77 employees and nine offices across Germany (Hamburg, Berlin, Osnabrück, Leer, Bremerhaven, Hannover), Taiwan (Taipei), Denmark (Copenhagen), and the United Arab Emirates (Dubai). The firm operates two core service lines: offshore wind energy engineering and structural & civil engineering, with offshore wind representing the dominant growth and identity axis.

JBO's offshore wind practice delivers foundation engineering across the full project lifecycle — concept design, FEED, basic design, detailed design, fabrication and installation support — for monopile, jacket, tripod, and transition piece (bolted TP, grouted TP, TP-less) foundations. The firm integrates structural engineering, geotechnics, and load simulation disciplines, supported by BIM, parametric modeling, Python, SQL, and proprietary load-simulation tools. Distinctive proprietary solutions include the Collared Monopile, Vibro Pile, Self-Expanding Pile Shoes (SEPS), and TP-less monopile designs. The firm has designed or contributed to wind farms spanning over 40 GW across the North Sea, Baltic Sea, and Asia-Pacific (Taiwan, South Korea, Philippines).

JBO generates revenue through project-based professional services fees, structured around defined project phases and deliverables on multi-year engagements. Clients are enterprise-scale energy providers, wind farm operators, project developers, investors, and regulatory bodies — including RWE, E.ON, wpd, EnBW, innogy (RWE), ORLEN/Northland Power, Equinor, YunNeng Wind Power, and Ambau GmbH. Active membership in BSH, VPI, and buildingSMART standards bodies provides regulatory proximity. The firm is privately held by management with no disclosed external investors.
