We are looking for dedicated technicians who are passionate about saving our planet through clean, renewable wind energy. As a Vestas Technician, you will leverage your electrical, hydraulic and mechanical experience, ensuring your safety and the safety of your team.
How to become a wind turbine technician
To be a successful technician, in this intermediate level position, you will be required to use your skills and training to perform maintenance and/or installation work on assigned wind turbines with minimal supervision.
