Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom Equinor UK Limited Full time
Wind Turbine Operations Specialist

We're a global energy company with a presence in over 30 countries, delivering oil, gas, wind, and solar power to 170 million people worldwide. Our team is dedicated to tackling tough energy challenges, and we're currently facing a significant task: supplying the world with the energy it needs while reducing emissions.

The Role

This position offers a unique opportunity to be involved in the Project, Service, Warranty, and Availability Phase of wind turbine operations. You'll work on construction and commissioning phases before the turbines enter operation under a service and warranty agreement.

  • Monitor contract and contractor performance for the WTG scope as the Operation & Maintenance (O&M) representative.
  • Be prepared for short-term business travels offshore, domestically, and internationally as required.

Post-Service Warranty Agreement, this role will:

  • Be responsible for the day-to-day follow-up of operation and maintenance of the WTG assets at Dogger Bank.
  • Manage projects such as major component replacements.
  • Manage WTG contractors.
  • Review loss of production from WTGs, provide analysis, and collaborate to recommend improvements to asset and maintenance.
  • Collaborate with other asset O&M engineers to support the operation and maintenance of all wind farm assets.
  • Ensure high-quality maintenance and safety information is captured and processed in corporate systems in line with management system processes.
You

We're looking for someone who identifies with our values: open, collaborative, courageous, and caring. For this position, we also require:

  • A degree or HND in electrical/electronic engineering or a similar field.
  • Technical, operational, and maintenance experience from high MW direct drive (DD) WTGs will be particularly advantageous.
  • Fluent in oral and written English, paired with strong communication skills. Ideally, live within a 1-hour commute from the office.
  • Hands-on and proactive, prepared to work offshore as and when required. Must be prepared to undertake offshore medical, HUET, and GWO training.
General Information

Please attach copies of your diplomas, certificates, and grades in English or a Scandinavian language. If you're in the process of completing a degree, please upload an official temporary transcript or other document describing subjects and grades completed to this point.
