• Undertake electrical fault-finding, including PLC and control system diagnostics.
• Use appropriate electrical test equipment to identify faults and determine effective solutions.
• Work collaboratively as part of a two-person field team, supporting reactive maintenance work, responding to changing site requirements and service priorities.
• Follow health and safety procedures when working at heights and carrying out maintenance activities.
• Maintain equipment and company vehicles, ensuring tools are ready for site work.
• Travel to sites across the UK and undertake overnight stays as required.

Wind Turbine - Skills & Experience

• Strong multi-skilled mechanical and electrical skills, currently working in an industrial maintenance, field service, plant fitter or multiskilled engineering position or equivalent.
• Have solid electrical fault-finding, problem solving and diagnostics skills.
• Practical mechanical skills with the ability to approach faults logically.
• Comfortable working outdoors in a hands-on field engineering support role.
• Willingness and suitability to work at height, as a typical wind turbine ranges from 18 metres to 50 metres tall. Training can be provided.
• Have a flexible attitude towards travel, working locations and short notice changes to plans.

The Wind Turbine Technician is offering £37,000 - £42,000 basic salary, based on a 45-hour week contract plus overtime, performance related bonus, night out allowance and other benefits for the successful candidate. This is a full-time, permanent position, requiring daily attendance to our client's North Yorkshire site.
