GE Wind Turbine Technician III

Onsite Wind Site

Shelburne, ON (Immediate Opening)

This Wind Tech III role is a senior, hands-on wind turbine technician position at a GE wind site in Shelburne, Ontario, focused on advanced troubleshooting, performance optimization, and informal site leadership/mentorship, paying CAD 35–43 per hour plus full benefits and potential relocation support.

Role focus

- On-site technical SME: Acts as the senior technical specialist on a GE-platform wind farm, dealing with complex turbine issues and supporting overall fleet reliability and availability.

- Field-based, fully onsite in Shelburne, ON, with some travel (about 10%) to assist neighboring wind sites.

Key responsibilities

- Troubleshoot and perform root-cause analysis on offline turbines, then execute or direct repairs to safely return them to service.

- Analyze turbine performance data to identify issues and plan corrective work, ideally during scheduled maintenance windows rather than reactive stops.

- Ensure all hardware, software, and wiring changes follow customer and engineering-approved configurations and standards.

- Perform / oversee quality checks on work done by other technicians and contractors to ensure high workmanship standards.

- Identify, propose, and help implement retrofits or upgrades that improve production and availability across the site.

- Support annual maintenance planning with site leads and Field Manager, including scheduling and resource prioritization.

- Use the site's CMMS to create/close work orders, track inspections, and manage parts usage and inventory.

- Assist with operational and technical reporting when needed and communicate clearly with site leadership and the customer.

- Maintain and model a strong safety culture, including Lock Out Tag Out procedures and "stop work" authority when conditions are unsafe.

- Continuously build technical knowledge on the site's equipment and mentor junior/developing techs in electrical safety,



troubleshooting, and maintenance best practices.

Required qualifications:

- At least 5 years of hands-on energy generation and site operations experience, with leadership exposure.

- Direct GE wind turbine platform experience (this is mandatory, not just generic wind).

- Demonstrated experience doing root cause analysis on equipment failures, not only fixing symptoms.

- Willingness to travel about 10% of the time to help other wind sites in the region.

- Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to interface with customers and coordinate work with site leadership.

- Comfortable using and interpreting test equipment and OEM/manufacturer documentation to guide diagnostics and maintenance.

- Proven ability to lead small projects, assign tasks, and prioritize work safely and efficiently.

- Strong interpersonal skills and problem-solving mindset; able to coach and mentor other techs.

Compensation and perks

- Hourly rate: CAD 35–43, depending on experience and qualifications.

- Full benefits package (details not listed but typically medical, dental, etc.).

- Relocation assistance available if the candidate is moving to the Shelburne, ON area.

- Already have GE wind platform experience and want to step into (or continue in) a senior technician/technical lead track.
