What a offshore renewable energy technician does
Offshore renewable energy technicians install offshore energy farms and equipment. They ensure the equipment operate in compliance with regulations and assist the offshore renewable energy engineers in the construction of energy devices such as wind turbine blades, tidal stream and wave generators. They also react to system problems, and repair faults.
