A Snapshot of Your Day

This role is critical to ensuring business continuity and the successful operational delivery of service projects across the Beatrice and Hywind offshore wind farms. As a Senior Offshore Wind Turbine Service Technician, you will combine hands-on technical expertise with operational leadership, supporting three key areas of responsibility: the maintenance and troubleshooting of wind turbines, the planning and coordination of site activities, and the consistent application of safety, quality, and reporting standards.

Working with a high degree of autonomy, you will diagnose and resolve complex electrical and mechanical issues, support the execution of planned and reactive maintenance activities, and help coordinate resources to ensure operational readiness. You will also act as a senior technical presence on site, providing guidance to colleagues, supporting safe working practices, and ensuring all activities are completed in line with company procedures, customer expectations, and industry regulations. The role requires a proactive, safety-focused individual who can work independently, make sound technical decisions, and contribute to the ongoing performance and reliability of offshore wind assets.

• Plan and coordinate daily and weekly maintenance activities in collaboration with site management and service planning teams.
• Ensure availability of spare parts, tools, equipment, and documentation required to deliver maintenance activities effectively.
• Support technician welfare on site and escalate issues relating to PPE, transportation, accommodation, or equipment.
• Coordinate activities involving third-party contractors and subcontractors, ensuring compliance with site and company standards.
• Maintain accurate service reports, maintenance logs, quality documentation, and technical records.
• Support customer requirements, operational reviews, contract deliverables, and site visits
