Job description

What does the job involve?

Bałtyk 2 and Bałtyk 3 Offshore Wind Farm projects consist of 2 x 50 turbines, two Offshore Substations (OSS) and two Onshore Substations (ONS) with total capacity of up to 1,5GW. The wind farms are located approximately 37 km and 22 km north of the Polish coastline, respectively. During the operational phase, maintenance activities will be carried out from our newly established Operations and Maintenance (O&M) base in Łeba, supported by daily transfers using Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs). The O&M base will include a warehouse, quay, Central Control Room, offices, and supporting infrastructure, serving as the central hub for all service and maintenance operations.

For our offshore wind projects, we are looking for an experienced technician with a strong electrical and/or mechanical background, ideally gained within the offshore wind industry. However, we also welcome candidates from other relevant sectors such as energy, heavy industry, manufacturing, or industrial maintenance.

A good understanding of wind turbine technology (including Direct Drive concepts) and MV/HV equipment will be considered an advantage, however candidates with solid experience in industrial electrical, automation or mechanical systems and a willingness to develop in offshore wind are equally encouraged to apply.

You will be required to use a variety of service tools, including hand tools, measurement equipment, lifting and tensioning tools, as part of daily maintenance activities in an offshore environment.

You will become a member of a team of professionals responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Bałtyk 2 and 3 offshore wind farms, working in an international and safety-focused environment. Daily work will involve transfers by Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV) from Łeba to offshore wind farm locations on shift rotation 2 weeks ON – 2 weeks OFF.

Accommodation and catering are covered by the company during rotations.

The Offshore Technician is responsible for the servicing of wind turbines and associated infrastructure through maintenance and corrective works. Joining the team at this stage offers a unique opportunity to participate in turbine installation, commissioning and handover activities before transitioning into long-term operations and maintenance. You will provide the technical expertise and assistance for the relevant disciplines and contribute to safe and efficient operations. You will be part of a hybrid competence center with team members located in Łeba, Gdansk, Warsaw, UK and Norway.

What will my tasks be?

Within this position, your key tasks will be to:

• Perform all work in accordance with HSE standards applicable to offshore operations, ensuring strict adherence to safety procedures and contributing to a zero-harm culture.
• Operate, maintain, troubleshoot and repair mechanical and electrical systems on offshore wind turbines, including both high and low voltage equipment.
• Execute detailed reporting of all activities in line with company and offshore procedures, including maintenance records, incident reporting and work documentation.
• Ensure reliable and efficient operation of offshore assets, taking a long‑term, proactive approach to maintenance and performance optimization.
• Continuously build and update technical knowledge, particularly in offshore wind turbine technology, safety requirements and operational best practices.
• Collaborate closely with turbine suppliers and offshore service teams, supporting troubleshooting, maintenance campaigns and technical improvements.
• Support development and optimization of maintenance strategies, including participation in risk assessments and initiatives to reduce downtime and improve turbine availability.
• Identify and assess operational risks related to the offshore work environment, including equipment, tools and working conditions, and actively mitigate them.
• Coordinate maintenance activities with offshore operations teams, ensuring effective planning of turbine downtime while minimizing impact on production and maintaining safe work execution.

Here’s what we expect from you:

At Equinor, there are some overall qualities we regard as essential. We want you to identify with the values that guide our decisions and help us succeed and grow: open, collaborative, courageous and caring. We expect you to make safety your priority and to contribute to our zero-harm culture. And for this specific position, we are also looking for:

• Strong technical background – electrical and/or mechanical, gained in wind industry or other relevant industrial sectors (e.g. energy, heavy industry, manufacturing, maintenance).
• Hands‑on experience in operation and maintenance of technical equipment – experience from wind turbines (WTG) is an advantage, but not mandatory. Candidates with solid industrial maintenance experience (e.g. electricians, mechanics, automation technicians) are also highly valued.
• Ability to read and understand technical documentation, including electrical and hydraulic diagrams, mechanical drawings and manuals.
• Strong focus on safety, including knowledge of electrical safety rules and best practices from industrial environments.
• Willingness and ability to obtain required authorizations, including HV (SEP) and UDT certifications if not already held.
• Hold (or ability to pass) required medical and offshore safety training.
• Strong collaboration skills and a proactive, solution‑oriented approach to problem solving.
• Proactive and open‑minded, with a willingness to continuously expand knowledge and experience.
• Fluency in Polish (written and spoken) and good working knowledge of English.
• Capability to travel internationally during the construction phase. Followed by an ability to work on a shift rotation when operational (pattern 14 days ON-14 days OFF).
