Wind Turbine Technicians

Wind Turbine Technicians typically perform the following tasks: • Troubleshoot or repair mechanical, hydraulic, or electrical malfunctions related to variable pitch systems, variable speed control systems, converter systems, or related components. • Perform routine maintenance on wind turbine equipment, underground transmission systems, wind fields substations, or fiber optic sensing and control systems. • Diagnose problems involving wind turbine generators or control systems. • Test electrical components of wind systems with devices, such as voltage testers, multimeters, oscilloscopes, infrared testers, or fiber optic equipment. • Start or restart wind turbine generator systems to ensure proper operations. • Climb wind turbine towers to inspect, maintain, or repair equipment. • Maintain tool and spare parts inventories required for repair, installation, or replacement services. • Test structures, controls, or mechanical, hydraulic, or electrical systems, according to test plans or in coordination with engineers. • Train end-users, distributors, installers, or other technicians in wind commissioning, testing, or other technical procedures. • Collect turbine data for testing or research and analysis. • Inspect or repair fiberglass turbine blades. • Assist in assembly of individual wind generators or construction of wind farms.
