Job description

Join us to transform today's energy challenges into sustainable solutions for tomorrow and make a difference for our planet and future generations.

Boralex has been providing renewable and affordable energy for over 30 years. The Group, composed of more than 800 employees, operates renewable assets with an installed capacity of over 3 GW and is developing a project portfolio of 6.8 GW in wind, solar, and energy storage.

Reporting to the Civil/Mechanical Engineering Manager, the Mechanical Engineer will play a key role in planning, executing, and providing technical support for major mechanical interventions on wind assets in Texas and New Mexico and involvement in our other US Jurisdictions (CA, NY, AL, IA) and other technologies (Solar, BESS and Hydro).

You will act as a technical partner to operations teams, supporting major mechanical interventions and troubleshooting critical equipment. This position will drive mechanical reliability, optimize maintenance strategies, and strengthen Boralex’s long‑term operational autonomy and asset performance.

Mechanical Reliability and Technical Expertise

• Perform advanced inspections of wind turbine mechanical components (gearboxes, main bearings, drivetrains, yaw and pitch systems).
• Analyze equipment condition and performance trends to identify failure modes and degradation patterns.
• Provide technical recommendations and repair strategies based on asset conditions, OEM guidance, and operational constraints.
• Validate the performance, integrity, and compliance of critical mechanical components following major interventions or failures.

Maintenance Execution and Field Operations

• Plan, coordinate and supervise major mechanical maintenance activities, including components replacements.
• Support field teams, contractors or OEM during complex or high‑risk interventions, ensuring proper execution methods, tooling, and safety practices.
• Optimize preventive and corrective maintenance strategies to improve reliability and reduce downtime.
• Develop and improve inspection procedures, maintenance strategies, and technical documentation.
• Contribute to the standardization of mechanical O&M practices across our North American assets.

Technical Support

• Participate in mechanical upgrade and optimization projects, including component retrofits, reliability programs, and assist with commissioning and quality control.
• Support engineering reviews and provide technical input on modifications, retrofits, and new solutions.

Analysis and Continuous Improvement

• Lead or support failure investigations and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for mechanical incidents.
• Identify recurring issues and implement sustainable corrective actions and reliability improvements.
• Contribute to performance optimization initiatives, including availability, production, and component lifecycle extension.
• Capture and disseminate lessons learned across sites to improve fleet‑wide performance.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering.
• Minimum 5+ years of experience in wind turbine operations and maintenance (O&M).
• Strong understanding of wind turbine mechanical systems.
• Practical knowledge of failure modes and degradation mechanisms affecting rotating equipment and experience validating equipment integrity.
• Ability to interpret inspection results, condition monitoring data, and OEM documentation.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving ability including participation in failure investigations or RCA.
• Experience supporting field operations and site interventions.
• Ability to work effectively in a dynamic, multi‑site operational environment.
• Ability to communicate technical information clearly to field teams.
• Availability for frequent travel (Texas and New Mexico mainly).

Compensation

The expected annual base salary range for this position is $110,400–$150,000. This range includes the target value of the annual Short‑Term Incentive Plan (STIP).

Your total compensation will vary depending on your experience, skills, qualifications, and work location. At Boralex, we strive to offer competitive and equitable compensation aligned with both the market and internal practices.

In addition to salary and incentive compensation, you will have access to a comprehensive benefits package in accordance with our programs and policies.

Benefits

• Contribute to the growth of a company actively involved in the energy transition.
• Add your talent to an agile work team.
• Expand your knowledge through continuous learning.
• Keep fit with a membership allowance at a sports centre of your choice and enjoy more time with your family thanks to a flexible and independent schedule.
• Plan your life beyond your career thanks to a pension plan to which Boralex contributes.
