Engages with policymakers and advocates for policies and regulations that support and promote the growth of the wind energy sector and sustainability goals.

Some solicitors specialise in the energy business and work with power companies, utilities and energy producers. Much of their work involves making sure the proper laws and regulations are followed. They can advise developers, regulators or investors on the development and operation of energy projects.

Uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology to help select the best sites for wind farm development.

Maintains, repairs and replaces systems and components. They identify and resolve technical problems and make sure the turbine is working properly.

Manages noise and vibration impacts from wind turbines and works to minimise potential disturbances.

Conducts geotechnical investigations and assessments to ensure the stability and integrity of foundations for offshore wind turbines.

Specialises in the design and installation of cables, on land or subsea for offshore wind farms, ensuring reliable and efficient power transmission.

Forms an integral part of the construction and operations phases and is typically required to oversee and report on all the electrical operational, installation and safety requirements for the project.

Responsible for service and maintenance work on all wind turbines and associated hydraulic and mechanical equipment.

Conduct studies to identify the most appropriate locations for wind turbines, analysing data on wind speeds and patterns, designing and testing wind turbine components.

A specialised type of engineer who works specifically on the design and analysis of wind turbine structures. Wind turbines are complex machines that must be built in the most sustainable and efficient way possible.

Designs and plans large infrastructure projects, such as wind farm foundations, access roads, and crane paths and pads.

Works on the electronic systems used to operate and monitor the turbine. They ensure the turbines can be operated remotely.

Tests, analyses and measures wind efficiency and suggest ways to improve energy production.

As part of getting planning permission for a wind farm the project will normally have a number of environmental conditions and need a Habitat Management Plan. An Environmental Advisor works closely with civil, mechanical and electrical engineers and other specialists to ensure these conditions and plans are delivered.

Conducts environmental monitoring during the construction and operation of on or offshore wind energy projects. They work out the best way to ensure the environment is protected and the project delivered in a sustainable way.

Works with wind energy companies to restore and enhance natural habitats, particularly wetlands, that may have been affected by wind turbine construction.

Scientist who studies ocean, water and marine environments and how fish, marine mammals and other marine life interact within them.

Assesses the potential impact of wind turbines on local plant populations and develops strategies to protect them.

Assesses the risk that the development of a wind farm could affect local wildlife and develops strategies to protect local birds and animals.
