A Day in the Life of an Offshore Wind Service Technician

The Offshore Wind Podcast - A podcast by Global Wind Energy Council

Categories:

Service technicians are the backbone of the offshore wind industry: they climb up tall turbines, troubleshoot technical issues, and perform repairs on blades and other components to ensure that turbines keep spinning and generating clean and affordable electricity. Life at sea offers a unique set of challenges and rewards for professionals looking to join this rapidly growing sector. In this episode, hosts Stewart and David are joined by Caroline Morrison, Technical Supervisor – Rope Access at Siemens Gamesa, for a behind-the-scene look at a day in the life of an offshore wind service technician, from health and safety and technical training to balancing family life with life at sea.
