2. What does a Wind Turbine
Technician do?
Wind Turbine Technicians are responsible
for:
 Installing, commissioning, and
maintaining wind turbine generators.
 Testing, troubleshooting and repairing
mechanical and electrical problems on
variable pitch, variable speed turbines.
 Assisting in other areas of site
construction, installation and
commissioning as required and directed
by the designated site supervisor.
Health and Safety
Wind turbine technicians have to follow
rigid safety standards due to the danger of
entering a turbine when it is operating and
the risks involved in scaling the tall wind
turbine towers. Workplace safety is
paramount at wind farms, which is why
technicians have to work in teams of two.
Technicians must wear harnesses, safety
goggles and hard hats and have knowledge
of emergency procedures in case of
accidents.
General Skills
Wind turbine technicians must have a
sound knowledge of mechanics; computers;
mathematical skills; and well-developed
communication skills. The absence of a fear
of heights is important as wind turbine
towers are hundreds of feet high.
