onshore wind farm technician

Description

Onshore wind farm technicians operate and maintain onshore wind farms by performing diagnostic inspections, analysing faults, and performing repair duties. They ensure the wind turbines operate in compliance with regulations and assist the wind engineers in the construction of wind turbines. Onshore wind farm technicians may also test and install hardware and software components of wind turbines.
