• Define and recommend critical spare parts strategies and preferred suppliers to minimise downtime and logistics risks.
• Provide advisory support on O&M cost management, including budget planning, cost benchmarking and optimisation opportunities.
• Strengthen collaboration among internal teams and external O&M partners to ensure fees and scopes of work reflect the level of engagement required to maximise contractual and operational value.
• Identify and assess innovations and digital / analytic tools (e.g. CMS, SCADA analytics, performance diagnostics) and support their implementation to increase plant capacity factor and generation.
• Provide technical input to new wind development projects (e.g. site selection, WTG technology choice, layout and accessibility from an O&M standpoint).

• Provide consultancy and on‑the‑job training for O&M staff on:
• WTG inspection and condition‑monitoring techniques
• Energy yield and performance analysis
• Wind and SCADA data analysis.
