About The Position

The Tech One Program (TOP) is a structured career development program for entry-level wind technicians, created in partnership between Sky Climber Renewables and Vestas Americas. Wind Service Technicians receive Global Wind Organization (GWO)-accredited safety and technical training. They primarily work at a wind site near home as part of a service team, helping ensure safe and efficient wind turbine maintenance. Technicians perform preventive, scheduled, and unscheduled maintenance on wind turbine generator equipment, including machinery and components used in power generation. They are not certified to work inside a cabinet or controller without direct supervision from a certified Electrical Technician. Additional duties may be assigned to support customer needs and Sky Climber’s mission, values, and long-term vision. This is a full-time, paid employment opportunity. Training is provided upon hire and includes basic safety, tower safety, and technical training in mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems. The position reports directly to the Program Manager and Site Manager, and indirectly to the Lead Technician during assignments.
