Schichtleiter (m/w/d)

We are 2,300 highly trained and motivated professionals with energy and efficiency. Our specialties are the maintenance, repair, optimization, and inspection of wind turbines. Whatever the challenge, we have the right solution and work with determination to unlock the full potential of 7,600 wind farm projects worldwide and to advance the energy transition every single day.

Are you a senior technician with in-depth knowledge of Vestas V80 turbines? Do you enjoy sharing your expertise with junior technicians and are ready to take the next step in your career? Then the role of Shift Supervisor could be the perfect opportunity for you.

As a Shift Supervisor, you ensure that our service technicians can carry out their work as efficiently and effectively as possible. You're the first point of contact when troubleshooting becomes complex and provide hands-on support whenever needed. In short: you make sure your team of 6 to 12 technicians starts each shift well-prepared, safe, and aligned.

You will work in the same two-weeks-on, two-weeks-off rotation as the technicians, with 12-hour shifts. On average, you will join the offshore team two days per week to support and supervise activities on-site.
