Wind Service Technician For Solomon Forks - Colby, KS

Wind Turbine Technician

A snapshot of your day. The workday begins at 7:00 AM with a safety meeting, which includes a review of the day's planned tasks and a brief overview of work completed the previous day. The majority of daily tasks will involve corrective or preventive maintenance, which is essential for ensuring the ongoing reliability and efficiency of the wind turbine generator (WTG) systems. Preventive maintenance is typically performed on an annual basis and plays a vital role in maintaining WTG operational readiness. While generally repetitive, it is a cornerstone of long-term equipment health. In contrast, corrective maintenance is critical for maintaining turbine availability and requires strong troubleshooting and diagnostic skills, as no two days are exactly the same. Throughout all tasks, safety is the top priority, and every effort should be made to ensure that all team members return home safely at the end of each day!
