Wind Energy Operations Managers
Wind energy operations managers oversee the day-to-day operation and
maintenance of wind farms. They typically work outdoors in all weather
conditions, often in remote locations. They need a moderate background
in the geosciences to complete tasks such as:
-
Ensuring that turbines are operating efficiently, monitoring weather
conditions, inspecting equipment for wear and tear, and coordinating
repairs as needed. This involves supervising a team of technicians
and mechanics who operate and repair wind turbines.
-
Understanding how geoscience-related factors can impact the
performance of the turbines and the overall efficiency of the wind
farm such as meteorology, geography, and topography.
-
Analyzing data and preparing reports to communicate about wind farm
operations with workers and stakeholders.
