About the Role
Deep blade expertise? Set the standard for a new engineering team. As a Senior Blade Engineering Analyst, you will join our US-based renewable energy client's blade engineering team. You will lead complex blade damage assessments, guide a junior analyst, and add value from day one.
You will work independently and act as the main technical contact for the client's blade engineers. Final repair approvals and safety sign-off stay with the client's engineers.
What You'll Do
Technical Leadership • Lead complex blade damage assessments and set severity ratings using engineering judgement. • Review repair scopes, methods and records, and raise technical concerns. • Lead root cause investigations and fleet-wide trend analysis for repeat damage. • Support warranty, supplier and OEM technical discussions with clear evidence.
Quality & Standards • Review and quality-check the junior analyst's damage categories, trackers and reports. • Build and improve damage categories, templates, checklists and work instructions. • Make sure inspection and repair data is complete, accurate and consistent.
Team & Client Partnership • Act as the main technical contact for the client's blade engineers. • Guide and train the junior analyst on the client's assets, systems and standards. • Escalate high-risk and safety-related findings with a clear recommendation. • Join engineering reviews and coordination calls with site teams and service providers.
What You Bring
Must-Haves • Degree in mechanical, aerospace, materials, civil, or a related engineering field. • 7–10 years of engineering experience in wind turbine blades, composites, or aircraft structures. • Strong knowledge of blade damage types, composite repair methods, and severity assessment. • Proven experience in root cause analysis and failure investigation. • Ability to work independently and make sound technical recommendations. • Clear written and spoken English for working with US engineering teams. • A steady career history with long-term commitment to employers.
Good to Have • Experience with a wind turbine OEM, blade manufacturer, or blade service provider. • Experience with drone or crawler inspection data and inspection platforms. • Experience with warranty claims or supplier quality. • Experience guiding or reviewing the work of junior engineers.
