Fred. Olsen Renewables is a Norwegian developer, owner, and operator in renewable energy with history back to the mid-1990s. We are currently operating 12 wind farms with a total of 342 turbines in the UK, Sweden, and Norway. In addition, we have an extensive portfolio of projects in the development phase in these countries and in Italy. We have a strong commitment to developing renewable energy sources both as a sound business model as well as genuine support of the shift to a decarbonized society. It is embedded in Fred. Olsen Renewables' culture that we do our utmost to minimize the environmental footprint in all our activities.

As part of our continued growth, we are looking to expand our Crystal Rig site team with the addition of two Wind Turbine Technicians. These roles will be responsible for the servicing, maintenance, and fault-finding of our turbines to ensure optimal performance and reliability.

Responsibilities

• Carry out scheduled preventative maintenance and servicing on multi-brand wind turbines to maximise performance, minimise downtime, and complete all required documentation.
• Perform corrective maintenance, fault diagnosis, troubleshooting and repairs across turbine systems including mechanical, electrical and hydraulic components, ensuring accurate completion of associated documentation.
• Conduct root cause analysis to identify the underlying reasons for equipment failures and implement effective corrective actions.
• Proactively complete repairs or arrange component replacements to prevent full system failure or extended downtime, ensuring maximum turbine availability.
• Work collaboratively with team members to improve turbine efficiency and reliability.
• Provide out-of-hours and weekend support for turbine breakdowns in line with the on-call schedule.
• Comply strictly with all health and safety regulations, including WTSR requirements.
• Maintain accurate records of timesheets, expenses and maintenance work, including tasks completed, parts used and equipment condition.
• Communicate regularly and effectively with the Control Centre team.
• Support the creation and review of Risk Assessments and Method Statements.
• Ensure PPE, tools and vehicles are kept to the highest standards.
• Help maintain a positive company reputation through strong communication and collaboration.
• Stay up to date with technical developments relevant to the role and turbine technology, and actively pursue personal development through training, mentoring and ongoing learning within the wind power sector.

We are looking for someone who enjoys working as part of a team, has strong fault-finding and analytical skills, and is motivated to help us drive progress towards a world powered by renewable energy. You do not need existing experience as a Technician but should show transferable skills and the right mindset.

In return, we offer an engaging, collaborative and fast-paced environment along with excellent training and development opportunities. This is a permanent, full-time position working 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday, with participation in a scheduled on-call rota.
