Job Roles in Wind
For workers transitioning into the wind industry from other sectors, prior education and skills can fulfil education needs at intermediate and advanced levels. But the unfulfilled elements of the core safety training and wind turbine-specific training must still be completed prior to starting work. Identifying Job Roles The GWO Job Roles Map is a general introduction to high-volume roles and career opportunities that exist in the construction and operations sectors of the wind industry. With this guide, jobseekers will be able to identify opportunities and potential career pathways in wind. Stakeholders can also use the language in the framework as a starting point to identify target audiences for training beyond the entry level. Wind Technicians advance to new roles through education, technical certifications and field experience. As their careers progress, technicians may take on higher levels of responsibility within their teams or obtain new certifications to specialise in a new role.
