The posting

Aerones is a robotics-driven wind turbine maintenance company operating globally across Europe and the US. The full blade service portfolio includes: robotic and drone-based blade inspection, leading edge repair (LER 1–4), ice-phobic coating application, lightning protection system testing and repair, drainage hole cleaning, blade cleaning, and repeated technical checkups.

The company operates a proprietary Inspection Platform managing a large and growing fleet of turbines and blades across hundreds of clients worldwide. The platform supports the full lifecycle of inspection services from anomaly documentation through customer reporting.

This role sits within Blade Repair & Operations Excellence (BROE), part of the Global Operations Excellence function. It interfaces daily with the Operations Management Center and feeds quality data into weekly operational reviews and board-level reporting.

Requirements

  • Degree in Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Composites Technology, or equivalent hands-on experience in blade repair, inspection, and composite structures
  • 3+ years direct experience in wind turbine blade repair, blade inspection, or blade services — ideally gained at an OEM (Nordex, Vestas, Siemens Gamesa, GE, LM Wind Power) or specialist blade service provider
  • Deep technical knowledge of blade damage types and failure modes: erosion, delamination, cracking, disbonding, lightning damage, manufacturing defects — and the corrective repair techniques for each
  • Experience with blade anomaly classification, severity assessment, and damage documentation standards used in commercial wind farm inspections
  • Hands-on experience with leading edge protection materials and/or ice-phobic coatings — application processes, surface preparation techniques, laminate systems, and topcoat products
  • Proven experience with blade QC systems: NCR processes, root cause analysis (5-Why, fishbone), and corrective/preventive action (CAPA) workflows
  • Experience evaluating inspection reports and translating findings into repair recommendations, including scope-of-work definition and cost estimation
  • Strong analytical skills — ability to interpret QC data, identify failure patterns across materials, teams, and sites, and translate into engineering actions

Strong Advantages:

  • Experience with blade manufacturing quality processes (e.g., manufacturing defect analysis, production QC, blade mould release) — provides understanding of how factory defects manifest as field repair needs
  • Background in material testing and qualification: mechanical testing, UV/weathering exposure, adhesion pull-off testing, environmental durability, ice-phobic performance testing
  • Experience with Lightning Protection System (LPS) testing, troubleshooting, down conductor repair, or receptor assessment against industry standards (BWE, IEC)
  • Experience with multiple blade types and OEM platforms (GE, SGRE, Vestas, Nordex) — understanding how repair and inspection procedures vary by blade design, composite layup, and coating system
  • Familiarity with robotic or autonomous blade inspection/repair systems and how they change data collection and application technique requirements
  • Rope access certification (IRATA/SPRAT) or deep understanding of uptower work constraints and how they affect inspection and repair quality
  • Experience building or contributing to QC dashboards, inspection databases, anomaly tracking platforms, or blade condition monitoring tools
  • Multi-site or multi-country blade service experience — understanding how climate, blade age, and regional OEM specifications affect inspection findings and repair approaches
