The role

Vattenfall is a European energy company with approximately 21,000 employees working in various countries. For more than 100 years, we have been engaged in electrifying industries, providing energy to people's homes, and modernizing our way of life through innovation and collaboration. Vattenfall aims to make a fossil-free life possible within one generation. We are at the forefront of the transition to a sustainable energy system. To achieve this ambitious goal, we are looking for talented individuals who, in addition to their passion for their own role, also have a strong team spirit and want to contribute to supporting a meaningful corporate mission. 

What you'll do

In teams of two, you will perform planned and unplanned maintenance work using the agreed work instructions.

Compliance with all safety and health requirements is a matter of course for you, especially when it comes to working at great heights. Additionally, you will make recommendations to improve safety and operational procedures.

You troubleshoot, solve problems, and perform maintenance and repair of all turbine systems, including mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic assembly and repair of important parts.

Sometimes you may also be deployed for short periods at other Vattenfall wind farms further afield in the Netherlands.

Finally, you will maintain the maintenance history of wind turbines, such as service reports, and report the necessary data in the Vattenfall management system (SAP).
