As an Onshore Field Operations Site Supervisor, you’ll play a pivotal role in the safe, efficient and compliant operation of one of Europe’s largest onshore wind farms —
SSE Renewables’ Clyde Windfarm
. Situated south of Biggar in Scotland’s Southern Uplands, Clyde comprises 206 turbines with over 500 MW of installed capacity and generates enough clean energy to power more than 290,000 homes annually, making a major contribution to the UK’s renewable energy supply.

In this supervisory role you’ll be accountable for driving high standards in safety, operational delivery, contractor management and asset performance. You’ll ensure maintenance routines are executed effectively, production targets are met and SSE’s safety culture is championed across the site and with visiting parties.

• Act as a visible safety leader and ambassador for SSE, promoting a strong safety culture and engaging positively with visitors and third parties.
• Ensure planned and reactive maintenance activities are delivered safely, on time and to the required quality standards to maximise asset availability.
• Lead emergency response activities, support incident investigations and drive continuous improvement through shared learning.
• Supervise contractors and working parties, ensuring compliance with safe systems of work, operational procedures and environmental standards.
• Manage site performance and budgets in line with production targets and financial governance requirements.

• A minimum of ONC / SNVQ Level III (or equivalent) in a relevant engineering discipline.
• Experience working with electro-mechanical systems such as rotating machinery, gearboxes, switch gear and control systems.
• The ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, single line diagrams and technical schematics.
• Experience working at height and with pressure systems and lifting equipment.
• Strong leadership, organisational and communication skills, including experience supervising teams and managing small operational budgets.

Although this role is primarily based at Clyde Wind Farm, occasional travel to other regional sites may be required. A valid and current driving licence is therefore essential.
