• Ongoing Service Activities: Participate in ongoing service activities across the country and the CEE region between scheduled MCR (Major Component Replacements) to ensure continuous operational efficiency. 

• Rotational Work Schedule: Work according to a rotational schedule—14 days on, followed by 14 days off, with 12-hour workdays. This requires a willingness to travel primarily within Poland and occasionally to other regions of Northern and Central-Eastern Europe. 

• Collaboration with Heavy Lift Supervisor: Work closely with the Heavy Lift Supervisor to ensure the proper execution of MCR. 

• Team Development: Play a crucial role in the development and success of the newly formed team of 14 technicians, directly reporting to the Field Resource Manager. 

• Safety and Quality Standards: Adhere to the highest standards of safety, quality, and environmental protection at all stages of projects. 

In this role, you’ll ensure our wind farms operate at their best—helping us continue to provide sustainable, clean energy for the future. Ready to work big, travel to beautiful locations, and make a real impact? We're excited to see what you bring to our team!
