• Diagnose and resolve faults across mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and control systems; perform component replacement and functional testing.
• WT2:
  Lead small work packs; support major component exchanges (e.g., yaw motors, pitch cylinders, generators) under supervision.
• WT3:
  Plan and lead major component exchanges, oversee lift plans and authorisations, and verify reinstatement to service.

• Adhere to all HSE standards (GWO, OEM, client, and site‑specific), including Dynamic Risk Assessments, Toolbox Talks, and Permit‑to‑Work.
• Ensure compliance with LOLER/PUWER, electrical safety (lock‑out/tag‑out), confined space, and working‑at‑height procedures.
• Complete accurate service reports, NCRs, punch lists, and parts usage in the designated Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS, e.g., SAP/OMS).
• WT3:
  Act as a safety role model; lead safety briefings, perform quality checks, and champion continuous improvement.

• Work effectively as part of an offshore team to meet availability and production targets.
• Mentor and coach WT1/WT2 technicians; share best practices and technical knowledge.
• Coordinate with CTV/SOV crews, marine control, and balance‑of‑plant teams to optimise work windows.

• Prepare work scopes, tools, parts, and consumables; ensure readiness prior to offshore deployment.
• Contribute to look‑ahead plans, defect prioritisation, and spares forecasts.
• WT3:
  Lead daily coordination on the SOV, align plans with weather windows, lifting operations, and vessel schedules.

• Recognised apprenticeship/technical qualification in electrical, mechanical, or industrial engineering (EQF Level 3+ or equivalent).
• Demonstrable offshore wind (or equivalent heavy industry) maintenance experience;
  Siemens platform exposure preferred.
• Valid GWO BST (Working at Height, Sea Survival, First Aid, Fire Awareness, Manual Handling) and GWO BTT (Mechanical, Electrical, Hydraulic).
• Current offshore medical (e.g., OGUK/ENG1) and fitness assessments (e.g., Chester Step Test/WFA).
• Competence working at height and in confined spaces, with strong troubleshooting capability.

• Siemens/SGRE WT2 or WT3 platform training/authorisations (mechanical/electrical/hydraulic, rescue, platform‑specific).
• HV awareness or authorisation pathway (e.g., SAP/AP/CP).
• Experience with Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS, SAP/OMS), SCADA diagnostics, and digital reporting tools.
• Lifting operations exposure (banksman/slinger) and basic rigging awareness.

• Advanced fault‑finding across electrical and mechanical systems; ability to read schematics and technical drawings.
• Strong safety mindset; consistent application of procedures and permits.
• Clear written and verbal communication; accurate reporting and handovers.
• Team leadership, coaching and mentoring (especially at WT3).
