In today’s continuously evolving world where sustainability and clean energy are crucial for achieving global Net Zero targets, skilled wind technicians are in high demand. The Global Wind Energy Council estimates in its report that over half a million new technicians will be needed to sustain the current growth of wind energy projects worldwide – these numbers may have grown significantly in the last two years since this report was written. With that in mind, this means opportunities for wind technicians with existing industry experience are also continuously growing at an alarming rate as projects are commissioned and developed across the world.

We recently spoke with Graham, a Troubleshooter with Boston Energy, to learn more about his experiences as a wind technician. After a long career in the motor trade, Graham utilized his transferable skills to launch his career in the wind industry with Boston Energy. In the last 7 years, from his first day as a Basic Technician, we have supported Graham to achieve his aspirations of becoming a Troubleshooter.
“Your workplace is never the same. One day you could be working in Northern Sweden, and the next, 40 miles offshore, surrounded by the sea. The freedom of working outdoors, regardless of the weather, is exhilarating. It’s an adventurous environment with much to consider – it’s certainly never boring!
My journey in the wind industry has only ever been with Boston Energy; they gave me the opportunity to get started which I am extremely grateful for. Everyone in the office I’ve worked with has always been really helpful and supportive.”
