Once briefed, technicians set off to their designated turbines, often located in expansive wind farms that paint the horizon with their towering forms. The journey to a turbine might involve driving through rugged terrain, followed by a climb up the turbine’s ladder—a physical task that demands fitness and a head for heights. Inside the nacelle, perched high above the ground, technicians inspect, maintain, or repair the turbine’s components. This could involve anything from troubleshooting electrical issues to lubricating moving parts or replacing worn components. The work is meticulous and requires a solid understanding of mechanical and electrical systems, all while wearing harnesses and safety equipment to prevent falls.
