Senior Wind Turbine Engineer

$150k - $175k

Underwriters Laboratories Inc

UL Solutions is seeking a Senior Wind Turbine Engineer to provide technical leadership for wind turbine technology across North American and Global projects. This role serves as a subject-matter expert for OEM turbine platforms, supports due diligence and asset advisory services, interfaces directly with clients and tax equity stakeholders, and, potentially, contributes to standards development. The position requires deep experience in wind turbine design and operations, with the ability to lead complex technical evaluations and mentor junior engineers.

  • Serve as a technical authority for wind turbine technology across UL's Wind Asset Advisory and Due Diligence teams.

  • Lead OEM turbine technology evaluations (primarily GE and Vestas, but also all major global OEMs), including authoring and maintaining turbine technology reports used globally. Track issues and resolutions associated with turbine models as they emerge, develop, and are resolved.

  • Provide technical leadership on independent engineering (IE) due diligence for greenfield, repower, and operating projects.

  • Support selective field activities, including visits to operating and under-construction wind farms and turbine inspections.

  • Assess the condition of wind farms through desktop review of operating records and site visits.

  • Lead and execute root-cause investigations into turbine failures, including gearboxes, collapses, main bearings, etc., and support owners with warranty claims.

  • Provide technical support and advice for turbine issues encountered during construction and commissioning - e.g., handling damage/repair, start-up failures, implementation of retrofits during construction, etc.

  • Support the due diligence team reviewing turbine construction job books and completion records.

  • Represent UL Solutions externally through standards committees, industry working groups, and technical forums.

  • Interface directly with clients, lenders, and tax equity stakeholders, particularly on technically contentious issues.

  • Mentor and guide other engineers, helping build technical depth and continuity within the wind team.

Primary Qualifications:

  • University Degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology, Industrial Technology, or Manufacturing Technology from an accredited program.

  • 15+ years of experience in wind turbine engineering, including turbine design, loads, performance, or operations.

  • Deep technical knowledge of major OEM platforms - GE or Vestas.

  • Expertise in wind turbine site suitability and loads modeling

Secondary Qualifications:

  • Ability and willingness to perform turbine climbs.

  • Knowledge of wind farm construction and/or operations.

  • Technical knowledge of other turbine OEMs, including Nordex, SGRE, and Chinese OEMs
