- Plan and coordinate cranes, tools, logistics, and parts for project readiness.
- Execute lift operations safely and efficiently following OEM procedures.
- Conduct safety briefings, job hazard analyses, and pre-task assessments.
- Troubleshoot mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems during exchanges.
- Ensure full compliance with company safety, quality, and LOTO procedures.
- Collaborating with OEM technical advisors and wind farm operators to deliver projects safely and on time.
- Keeping meticulous records because every turbine tells a story, and accurate documentation keeps that story running smoothly.
- Traveling to wind farms across the UK, sometimes for extended stays or rotational projects.
