We deliver in the wind energy industry (renewable energy).
Management Services
Site Management in wind energy projects is a crucial role that ensures the smooth execution of installation, commissioning, and maintenance processes. It requires professionals with deep field experience, often starting as technicians, who understand the challenges of working in demanding environments.
Key Responsibilities:
- Project Coordination: Overseeing the day-to-day operations on-site, ensuring that tasks are executed according to project timelines and safety regulations.
- Team Leadership: Managing diverse teams, often composed of professionals from various nationalities, working in a foreign language and under remote conditions.
- Logistics and Resource Management: Ensuring timely delivery of materials, tools, and equipment to minimize delays.
- Weather and Environmental Adaptation: Monitoring and adjusting work schedules to maximize productivity under changing weather conditions, especially in Scandinavian winters.
- Health and Safety Compliance: Enforcing strict safety protocols to protect workers in hazardous conditions.
- Stakeholder Communication: Acting as the link between site teams, project managers, and clients to ensure transparency and efficiency.
- Problem-Solving Under Pressure: Making real-time decisions to address unexpected challenges while keeping deadlines and project targets in check.
We operate directly on-site
Consultancy and Supervision
The consultant plays a crucial role in wind energy projects by acting as an independent advisor to the wind farm owner. Unlike a site manager, who works for the wind turbine manufacturer managing the installation, the consultant operates directly on-site to ensure quality, safety, and operational excellence while safeguarding the owner's interests.
Key Responsibilities:
- Daily Site Operations Monitoring: Controlling, monitoring, registering, and reporting on daily site activities to ensure proper documentation and operational efficiency.
- Quality, Safety, and Environmental Inspections: Conducting thorough evaluations to ensure compliance with industry standards and project specifications.
- Technical and Operational Support: Assisting both the customer and the executing party in addressing technical challenges and optimizing performance.
- Budget Control Support: Providing constructive insights to support the customer's budget control mechanisms, ensuring cost-effective execution.
- Claims Analysis and Activation: Reviewing, analyzing, and supporting the customer in activating claims, particularly those related to adverse weather conditions, while also addressing other contractual matters.
- Customer Representative Communication: Maintaining continuous contact and providing structured feedback to the customer’s representatives to ensure transparency and alignment with project objectives.
Maintenance and Operations
Maintenance technicians play a critical role in ensuring the continued performance and reliability of wind turbines. These experienced professionals follow methodical procedures to execute maintenance tasks safely and efficiently while adhering to industry best practices.
Key Responsibilities:
- Methodical Execution: Following detailed instructions to ensure maintenance tasks are completed accurately and efficiently.
- Resource Management: Ensuring all necessary resources, including tools, materials, PPEs, and instructions, are available and in optimal condition before starting work.
- Risk Assessment & Mitigation: Conducting risk assessments before any activity begins and implementing mitigation measures as necessary.
- Autonomous Teamwork: Operating in autonomous teams supported by a Team Lead, making informed decisions based on site conditions and safety requirements.
- Environmental & Safety Compliance: Applying safe working practices and minimizing environmental impact in all operations.
- Weather Monitoring: Relying on weather forecasts to plan and adjust work schedules accordingly to ensure safety and efficiency.
- Technical Expertise: Utilizing GWO (Global Wind Organisation) knowledge in electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic systems to carry out maintenance and repairs.
- Work Condition Assessment: Evaluating site conditions before commencing tasks to prevent hazards and ensure smooth execution.
- Reporting & Documentation: Providing detailed reports on maintenance activities, including any deviations or non-conformities detected, to support continuous improvement and regulatory compliance.
