Projektleder Service / Blade

Due to continued growth, we are looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead wind turbine service and maintenance projects from mobilisation through delivery, close-out and continuous improvement.

You will take end-to-end responsibility for safe, compliant and commercially sound execution, coordinating technicians, site teams, customers, vendors and subcontractors to deliver planned and corrective maintenance scopes efficiently.

This role suits a practical, visible leader who understands the operational realities of wind turbine maintenance, including changing priorities, technical constraints, weather and access considerations, resource availability and the importance of turbine uptime. You will maintain a regular site presence, build trusted customer relationships and begin every day with safety at the forefront.

Key responsibilities

• Lead service and maintenance projects from contract handover and mobilisation through execution, demobilisation, close-out and lessons learned.
• Plan and coordinate preventive, corrective and campaign maintenance activities, balancing customer priorities, turbine availability, safety, quality, cost and schedule.
• Own project scope, programme, budget, forecast and commercial performance; monitor variances and implement timely corrective actions.

• Provide clear, regular reporting to customers and internal stakeholders on progress, safety, quality, risk, resource demand, budget and delivery outlook.
• Build effective customer relationships, manage expectations, resolve delivery issues and identify opportunities to improve service quality and future collaboration.
• Carry out pre-start site reviews and coordinate site-specific requirements such as welfare, accommodation, logistics, inductions, access and subcontractor arrangements.
• Monitor team and supplier performance, address delivery gaps and capture lessons learned to strengthen future maintenance planning and execution.
