We’re Hiring:
Wind Turbine Technician (Senvion Platform)

We’re looking for an experienced Wind Turbine Technician to join a high-performing onshore operations team, playing a key role in maintaining turbine performance and maximising energy production.

This is a hands‑on role where you’ll be responsible for maintaining, troubleshooting, and optimising wind turbine systems, working both independently and as part of a small, agile team.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be at the forefront of turbine operations, carrying out a wide range of activities including scheduled servicing, fault finding, maintenance, and major component exchanges. This will involve both preventative and reactive maintenance to minimise downtime and ensure turbines operate at peak performance.

Using SCADA and other advanced diagnostic systems, you’ll analyse turbine performance, reset faults, and build fault histories to support continuous improvement. You’ll also maintain accurate maintenance records and play an active role in improving site performance, safety, and reliability.

Beyond day‑to‑day maintenance, you’ll contribute to wider site operations—supporting projects, managing spare parts, and getting involved in non‑routine activities when required.

Flexibility is key in this role. You’ll be expected to adapt to changing weather conditions and workloads, participate in an on‑call rota, and occasionally travel to other sites.

What We’re Looking For

We’re keen to speak with technicians who have a strong technical background and proven experience working on wind turbines—specifically Senvion platforms (essential).

You should hold a qualification in a relevant electrical or mechanical discipline (HNC, ONC, or NVQ) and be confident working with advanced tools and systems, including hydraulics, power electronics, and electrical diagnostic equipment.

A strong understanding of HSSE practices is critical, along with demonstrated experience troubleshooting complex mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems.

You’ll need to be comfortable working independently, while also contributing effectively within a small team environment.

Key Requirements
  • Proven wind turbine maintenance experience
  • Senvion turbine platform experience (essential)
  • Full, in‑date GWO certification (including Enhanced First Aid & Advanced Rescue)
  • Strong technical and fault‑finding capability
  • Competence as a slinger/signaller (banksman)
  • Full UK driving licence
  • Willingness to travel occasionally
Why Apply?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a dynamic operational team where you’ll have real ownership of turbine performance and a direct impact on energy output. You’ll work in a collaborative environment that values safety, innovation, and continuous improvement.
