As a Wind Turbine Maintenance Technician, you'll play a key role working with a team of Technicians who take pride in the operation and maintenance of the SSE Renewables fleet.
Utilising information from our maintenance management system, you'll perform scheduled maintenance and fault rectification on our fleet of turbines, ensuring they are operating at their optimum capacity. Along with other members of the team, you'll deliver wind turbine maintenance for SSE Renewable Operations driven by four key performance measures, SHE, Capability, Quality and Cost.
A minimum of NC or SVQ Level 3 in a Mechanical/Electrical discipline or equivalent, or to have served a recognised apprenticeship.
- Demonstrable experience of servicing, fault finding and repairing of wind turbine generators or similar experience in the maintenance and repair of heavy plant.
- A current GWO basic training certification would be highly beneficial but training will be provided.
- A strong understanding and demonstrable passion for safety at all times.
To ensure the site is operating efficiently throughout the year, you may be expected to participate in a scheduled standby rota. If you do participate, it is expected you would be required one week in four. Additional payments relating to this will be available.
Due to the nature of the role and having safety in mind at all times, the position will be site based at the wind farm and the successful candidate must reside or be willing to reside within a 45 minute commuting distance to Griffin Wind Farm to take up the position.
