Wind Turbine Technicians

Key Responsibilities

• Perform scheduled preventive maintenance on wind turbine generators, including inspections, lubrication, and system servicing.
• Execute corrective maintenance activities such as replacement of electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic components (e.g., cables, filters, sensors, gear oil systems).
• Carry out fault diagnosis and troubleshooting on electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic systems, escalating complex issues where necessary.
• Strictly follow Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures and all wind turbine safety protocols, including working-at-height requirements.
• Ensure consistent use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and full compliance with HSE and industry safety standards.
• Complete accurate maintenance reports, service logs, and inspection documentation in line with operational requirements.
• Identify, report, and support resolution of technical issues to minimize turbine downtime and optimize performance.
• Participate in emergency response activities and training, including tower rescue, fire safety, and first aid drills.

Required Qualifications

• Diploma in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronic Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 3–5 years of proven hands-on experience as a Wind Turbine Technician in wind energy operations or maintenance.
• Strong practical experience working with wind turbine systems (electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic).
• Certification or training in wind turbine safety, working at heights, or LOTO procedures is an added advantage.
• Physically fit and comfortable working in remote locations, at heights, and in harsh weather conditions.
• Strong team collaboration skills, disciplined safety mindset, and ability to work independently under supervision structures.
• Candidates from the Turkana region are strongly encouraged to apply.
