[nero]

Hi

Does anyone know the going rate for a wind turbine tech?? Starting salary etc

Thanks

 

[sparkiegaz]

on shore or off shore,,,seen jobs online paying from 25k to 45k,,they seem to ask for a lot of various skills,,

On shore, doing some research at the mo. Would love to get into it after my studies. Any ideas what type of skills they would be looks beside electrical?

Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Meteorological, battery / storage / pumped storage and control systems. The electrical is the easy bit!

For onshore, the big growth area will be in storage technology, wind has a very bad rap at the moment because the reliability of supply and efficiencies are unpredictable / very low.

In the UK the big growth will be in offshore and designing the systems grid connection (where the wind is there isn't usually a heavy grid connection point) and the ability to cope with the elements during construction , operation and maintenance.

I've just left siemens wind power. The money's crap 26000 per annum to lead a team and be responsible for permits etc. You get paid one pound per hour more than a trainee!!

Hello Socalmafia,

Do you work at Siemens? If so could you tell me what salaries you can expect for Wind Tech. Is it more than the 26k mentioned above? Cheers

22k is basic starting pay untrained plus uplifts ie 25% for working offshore, siemens techs can earn upto 60-70k if u work on construcion offshore 3 weeks on 1 off

We now supply a range of wind turbines we currently require resellers.
