Andreas Puls studied physics at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms University in Bonn. He has more than 10 years of experience in offshore wind energy with a focus on project certification.
He started at TÜV Rheinland in 2011. During the preparation of the update of the BSH Standard Konstruktion, which started in the same year, he was a member of various working groups and head of the drafting group until its publication in 2015. Since then, he has remained active in the exchange with the authorities, most recently as spokesperson for the testing officers in Germany. In 2017, he moved to Hanseatic Power Cert GmbH as head of the certification body and also took over as managing director in 2019. In operations, he worked on numerous offshore projects, and thus managed the project certification during the construction of three offshore wind farms and the periodic inspections during the operation of nine projects in the German North Sea and Baltic Sea as an inspection officer. He has been Managing Director of Con4Mare GmbH & Cie. KG since April 2023.
