Emergent Repairs Engineer

Job Description SummaryThe Emergent Repair team is responsible for the creation of tools, methods, and processes utilized for unplanned maintenance, such as Major Component Upgrades and uptower repairs for onshore and offshore wind turbines. As an Emergent Repair Engineer, you will develop repair procedures and tooling required to enable key repair capabilities for the Services Organization.
The Emergent Repairs team is a hands-on group of engineers who love to design, fabricate, validate, and—crucially—go to the field to implement and teach field technicians how to use tools safely and perform complex repair processes. In this role, you will balance rigorous engineering documentation and standard work updates with active, physical validation and field support. You will prove out safety and functionality by working closely with cross-functional teams, including the Repair Technology team, Deployment Leaders, Project Managers, the SVC Unplanned Failures Team, Engineering Segments, Regional FRO, and Control Title Holders.

Desired Characteristics

• Hands-On Mindset: Strong passion for prototyping, experimenting, and direct service/repair experience in industrial or wind environments.
• Problem-Solving & Agility: Demonstrated technical, analytical, and problem-solving skills with a preference for simple, creative solutions. Comfortable working through complex, unknown repair processes.
• Communication & Interpersonal Skills: Strong oral and written communication skills with the ability to write detailed work instructions. Proven ability to effectively interact with both senior management and hourly field technicians.
• Innovation & Continuous Improvement: Willingness to challenge the status quo and break from legacy practices to deliver the best possible products.
• Technical Familiarity:
  • CAD design and FEA analysis proficiency.
  • Familiarity with industrial tooling and core engineering principles.
  • Wind turbine product and service knowledge.
