Staff Accountant II

Wind Harvest is bringing its H-type, vertical axis wind turbines to turbulent mid-level wind resources where traditional turbines can't secure permits or won't operate well. Our answer to this problem is the Wind Harvester, the culmination of many years of cutting edge R&D. It is completing Technology Readiness Level 7 with testing at the UL Advanced Wind Turbine Testing Facility in Amarillo, Texas. The primary market for this breakthrough technology is wind farms with excellent but until now, unusable wind resources beneath the fleet of tall turbines on these properties.

Wind Harvest's ambition is to be the world's leading developer of technology and projects in the mid-level wind energy space and be responsible for tens of thousands of MWs of new renewable energy projects worth billions of dollars installed and operating before the end of the decade.
