Wind farm operation and maintenance work is different from other industries, and it is not easy to implement an eight-hour work system five days a week. Generally speaking, wind farm directors can work from Monday to Friday and have weekends off. Other grassroots operation and maintenance personnel work in teams.
Generally, there are two to three working teams in wind farms, and a shift system is implemented between each team. For example, in a wind farm with three shifts, a two-on-one-off system is implemented. Each working team works for two weeks and takes one week off. At the same time, two teams are operating and maintaining the wind farm, and one team takes a day off.
Generally, wind farms usually have one or two assistant field managers, who are usually served by experienced squad leaders. When the field manager is off on weekends, the field manager's assistant will take charge of the work. At the same time, wind farms require 24-hour monitoring, so team members need to take turns on duty at night to monitor the operating status of the wind turbines
Does anyone work at a wind farm?
Yes, the treatment is good.
Generally the location is relatively remote, it depends on whether you are comfortable with it or not. There is a canteen for meals and the food is good. In terms of remuneration, Datang is the worst, while Shenhua, Huaneng and CGN are all good. In terms of labor intensity, it is relatively friendly to girls.
Wind farm operators are mainly responsible for the stable operation of electrical equipment. Patrol inspection. Taking safety measures is actually similar to the work of general substation operators. It just involves a little fan work. It's very frustrating... Maintenance personnel are mainly responsible for dealing with fan and line failures. Regular maintenance and other work. Different companies may have slightly different divisions of labor.
Let’s talk about the environment. I think the environment of the seaside wind power plant should be better.
Generally, the environment of inland wind power plants is quite harsh. The cold and dryness must be overcome. In addition, wind farm operation and maintenance personnel generally live in the booster station. Very close to transformers and high voltage lines. Naturally, electromagnetic radiation is enjoyed more than the average person. Some wind farms built at high altitudes are also likely to have no water. There are no decent roads.
Walking in winter when covered with ice and snow can be dangerous. In addition, wind farms usually have very long shifts, so be careful if you don’t come home for ten and a half days, your wife has run away with someone else... and there’s not much else. Salaries are confidential to the company. You can ask the employer yourself. Just do it if you feel it suits you, and forget it if it doesn't suit you. Generally, large companies receive better treatment than small private wind farms.
