Job description

Join us in this role where you’ll conduct remote diagnostics, perform on-site troubleshooting, and execute reliability-based retrofits to prevent turbine failures and extend asset lifespan. You’ll work closely with the Technical Optimisation team, Quality Assurance Leads, and Asset Performance Team to minimise unplanned downtime and maximise turbine availability.

Welcome to UK West Nearshore Operations

4. ensuring the correct parts, tools, and technical documentation are prepared before offshore visits to maximise efficiency
5. performing troubleshooting and root cause analysis for asset health-related failures, ensuring corrective actions address underlying problems rather than symptoms
6. completing reliability-based retrofits and engineering updates to improve asset performance and stability.

To succeed in the role, you:
