Global Wind Workforce Outlook 2025-2030
In terms of experience levels, which are considered as a separate layer rather than a secondary attribute of job roles, we foresee growing demand for intermediate to advanced-level technicians, reflecting the sector’s increasing technological complexity and the operational requirements of both onshore and offshore installation.
‘Global Wind Organisation’s Job Roles in Wind’ outlines the structure of technician roles and their corresponding experience levels within the wind industry. The research identifies four primary career pathways – Pre-Assembly, Installation, Service, and Blade Repair – which represent the core areas of work for wind turbine technicians. Progression within these pathways is achieved through a combination of education, technical certification, and hands-on field experience 3 . Among the four groups, Service Support Technician and Blade Repair Technician are closely associated with the maintenance sector. Currently, the largest share of the workforce holds technician roles in Assembly (2025–2029). However, this distribution is expected to evolve over time as maintenance demand continues to grow. By 2030, the demand for technicians in Regular Inspection is expected to exceed that for Assembly.
