Job Description Summary The 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.
