At Full Circle Wind Services, we keep the turbines turning and the wind energy flowing. As a trusted leader in renewable energy services, we’re looking for a Major Components Exchange Technician who’s ready to take on the challenge of replacing and repairing the critical components that keep wind farms at peak performance. This role is all about precision, teamwork, and resilience. From lifting massive gearboxes high above the ground to ensuring every bolt is tightened to perfection, you’ll be part of the crew that helps power a cleaner future!
What You’ll Do:
- Safely removing and replacing major wind turbine components: gearboxes, generators, main bearings, and rotor blades.
- Taking part in complex rigging and heavy-lifting operations, working closely with crane operators and site supervisors.
- Carrying out detailed inspections and reporting before and after each exchange to ensure turbines are ready to harness the wind efficiently.
- Collaborating with OEM technical advisors and wind farm operators to deliver projects safely and on time.
- Keeping meticulous records because every turbine tells a story, and accurate documentation keeps that story running smoothly.
- Traveling to wind farms across the UK, sometimes for extended stays or rotational projects.
What We’re Looking For:
- At least 2 years of experience in wind turbine maintenance, with a focus on major component exchanges.
- A strong mechanical or electrical background, backed by qualifications such as NVQ, HNC, or similar.
- GWO Basic Safety Training (Working at Heights, First Aid, Manual Handling, Fire Awareness).
- A valid medical fitness certificate because working at heights in the elements takes strength and focus.
- Confidence working in challenging weather conditions and at heights.
- A full driving license and the flexibility to travel to remote wind farm sites.
- A team-first mindset, excellent communication skills, and a drive to problem-solve under pressure.
Soft Skills For The Win(d):
- OEM-specific training (Siemens Gamesa, Vestas, GE, Nordex, Enercon, Senvion, or EWT).
- Expertise in hydraulics, torque and tensioning tools, or borescope inspections.
- Experience with technical lift plans, rigging diagrams, or engineering schematics.
- A background in wind turbine installation or commissioning.
