Join us and be inspired by responsibility rather than by rules. We are one of the leading energy companies in Europe within the fields of developing, constructing and operating onshore and offshore wind farms.
We have more than 30 years of experience in wind power, and up to 15 per cent of our power is produced from renewable resources. Our business is based on producing, distributing and trading energy and related products in Northern Europe. We are one of the leading developers of offshore wind projects in the United Kingdom.
London Array Offshore Wind Farm is a joint venture between DONG Energy, EON and Masdar. London Array will be the world's largest offshore wind farm when phase 1 is producing electricity in 2012. DONG Energy has been appointed by London Array to be the operations and maintenance service provider.
We are looking for Wind Turbine Technicians to work on the London Array Offshore Wind Farm based at Ramsgate, Kent.
Areas of responsibility
You will perform work on our offshore turbines and on our onshore and offshore substations.
Your primary tasks will be to:
- perform troubleshooting and repair of electrical and mechanical components
- service offshore wind turbines
- repair and assemble mechanical structures
- plan service and maintenance works together with our technical team.
If you have the relevant experience and skills, your role may also incorporate High Voltage service and troubleshooting and/or working and acting as an Authorised Person.
Your profile
You will have a full apprenticeship in control and instrumentation, mechanical or electrical engineering. Further qualifications such as a BTEC or HNC would be advantageous, but not essential. An aptitude for working at height and offshore is essential.
You will be well experienced in troubleshooting on mechanical and electrical components. We will offer you on-the-job training as well as courses in offshore wind farm technology.
It is important that you are willing to work in a team and are prepared to enter into a rota system. Your job will be rota based, and due to that your working hours will vary.
Furthermore, you must be prepared to enter into a scheduled training programme for a period of approximately one year. The training programme includes working on some of our other offshore wind farms in the United Kingdom and Denmark. You will participate in construction projects both on site and on other locations in the United Kingdom and Northern Europe.
You will be self-motivated and enjoy working both independently and as a member of a team. You will be adept at troubleshooting and using your own initiative to complete tasks.
We offer
A unique and challenging job in an international energy company. As part of a dynamic team with quite informal social conventions you will have competent and committed colleagues who focus on professional sparring. Through your work, you will participate in the implementation and development of sustainable and CO2-free energy solutions.
We offer substantial freedom with responsibility and good opportunities to develop new competences and pursue a career within a large international organisation.
You will receive a competitive salary and enjoy an informal and attractive working environment. We have an active employee policy, which supports your career throughout the various phases of your working life.
