Wind Turbine Blade Repair Technician

Blade Repair Technicians are responsible for making repairs to the internal or external surface and structure of a wind turbine blade. Over 95% of repairs take place in place, at height, but a small proportion may be done with the blade laid down at the site or at an offsite shop. Technicians are often specialized in either internal or external repairs. External repairs may be performed from a blade access platform, from a crane basket, or via rope access. Internal repairs are performed by climbing through the blade hatch, either from the nacelle or via a traverse on the external surface of the nacelle. While some Technicians work in a dedicated role at a specific site, the role typically involves substantial travel, both within Canada and to sites outside the country.
