Wind energy operations managers set goals and oversee the day-to-day work of wind energy farms.

Wind energy operations managers oversee maintenance. They determine if towers or transformers need cleaning or repair. Wind energy farms are located in rural areas, or even in the ocean. Managers make sure roadways and boats have access to the turbines. This ensures that workers, engineers, and technicians can reach them easily.

Operations managers estimate costs for fixing or improving equipment. They also order parts and tools needed for maintenance and upgrades.

Wind energy operations managers communicate with customers, site managers, landowners, and residents. Operations managers also work with local utilities and governments. Managers oversee budgets and costs, schedules, and timelines. They may also prepare and approve contracts.

Managers supervise employees and subcontractors. They may also recruit and hire employees and contractors. They often help train new employees, help them learn day-to-day tasks, and ensure workers comply with safety regulations and codes.
