A Day in the Life of an Offshore Wind Service Technician

The Offshore Wind Podcast from GWEC

Service technicians are the backbone of the offshore wind industry: they climb up tall turbines, troubleshoot technical issues, and perform repairs on blades and other components to ensure that turbines keep spinning and generating clean and affordable electricity. Life at sea offers a unique set of challenges and rewards for professionals looking to join this rapidly growing sector. In this episode, hosts Stewart and David are joined by Caroline Morrison, Technical Supervisor – Rope Access at Siemens Gamesa, for a behind-the-scene look at a day in the life of an offshore wind service technician, from health and safety and technical training to balancing family life with life at sea.
GWEC's Offshore Wind Podcast is hosted by Stewart Mullin, GWEC's Chief Industry Officer, and Rebecca Williams, GWEC's Deputy CEO, who leads on all GWEC's Offshore Wind work.
The podcast, or 'show' as Stewart still likes to call it, features leading voices from across the sector, whether that is large OEMs, key supply chain manufacturers or political leaders driving policy, to talk about how we can all work together to deliver on offshore wind's enormous potential.
