We are looking for dedicated technicians who are enthusiastic about preserving our planet through clean, renewable wind energy. As a Vestas technician, you'll put your electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical experience to work, ensuring your safety, and the safety of your team. In this intermediate-level position, you'll use your skills and training to perform maintenance and/or installation work on assigned wind turbines under minimal supervision.

We also encourage recommendations to improve the safety and quality of our work.
