Ready to take your career to new heights?

The wind energy field is growing tremendously in the United States and around the world!  Here are some reasons to consider starting a career as a Wind Turbine Technician:

 

  • Wind energy is a domestic and sustainable source of power.  Our supply of wind is abundant and constant, and there are wind turbines in most states across the US.
  • Wind power is cost effective because it runs from a natural resource.  Wind is one of the lowest priced renewable energy sources available. 
  • Wind turbines can be built on existing farms.  This not only benefits energy users but also the economy in rural areas.  Farm owners can get paid for housing the wind turbines and continue to work the majority of their land. 
  • Jobs, jobs, jobs…According to the Wind Vision Report, this sector has the potential to support over 600,000 wind turbine technician jobs in manufacturing, installation, maintenance and supporting services by the year 2050.
  • According to Just Energy, this is one of the cleanest forms of energy.  The turbine power does not rely on fossil fuels so they have no contribution towards climate change.
