If you’re ready to use your data analysis skills to support the growing field of wind energy,
our client
has the perfect opportunity for you. We’re seeking a
Wind Energy Analyst
(aka The Wind Power Strategist) to analyze, interpret, and optimize wind power data, helping to bring reliable, renewable energy to communities around the world.As a Wind Energy Analyst at
our client , you’ll work with a team of engineers, environmental scientists, and project managers to identify optimal locations for wind farms, forecast energy output, and ensure that wind power systems are operating at peak efficiency. Your data insights will drive strategic decisions and play a crucial role in the success of renewable energy projects.Key Responsibilities:Conduct Wind Resource Assessments:
Perform wind resource assessments by analyzing wind speed, direction, and seasonal patterns. You’ll use tools and models to identify optimal locations for wind turbines, ensuring maximum energy production potential.Analyze and Model Energy Production Data:
Develop and use predictive models to estimate the energy output of wind farms, taking into account variables such as wind variability, terrain, and turbine specifications. You’ll provide forecasts that help guide project planning and investment decisions.Monitor and Optimize Wind Farm Performance:
Track real-time and historical data from operational wind farms, identifying trends, inefficiencies, or underperformance. You’ll work closely with engineers to implement changes that enhance energy production and operational efficiency.Support Project Feasibility Studies and Economic Analysis:
Conduct feasibility studies and cost-benefit analyses for prospective wind power projects. You’ll assess project costs, expected energy yield, payback periods, and environmental impacts to support decision-making on new wind installations.Collaborate with Environmental and Engineering Teams:
Work closely with environmental scientists, engineers, and regulatory experts to ensure that wind projects meet technical, environmental, and regulatory requirements. You’ll integrate data on environmental factors such as wildlife, noise, and visual impacts.Develop Reports and Data Visualizations:
Create detailed reports, dashboards, and visualizations to communicate findings to stakeholders, from technical teams to non-technical management. You’ll ensure that insights from your analyses are accessible and actionable.Stay Informed on Industry Trends and Technologies:
Keep up with advancements in wind energy technology, modeling tools, and data analytics techniques. You’ll continuously improve your analytical capabilities to stay at the forefront of the renewable energy sector.Required Skills:Wind Energy Analysis Expertise:
Experience in wind energy analysis, including wind resource assessment, energy modeling, and project feasibility studies. You’re familiar with the technical aspects of wind power and understand how to leverage data for optimal outcomes.Data Analysis and Modeling Proficiency:
Strong skills in data analysis and modeling using tools such as WindPRO, WAsP, MATLAB, R, or Python. You can interpret large datasets and create predictive models that inform wind energy projects.Statistical and Computational Skills:
Expertise in statistical analysis and computational methods for analyzing wind data. You’re proficient in using statistical techniques to analyze patterns, trends, and variances in energy production data.Collaboration and Communication:
Excellent collaboration skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally with environmental scientists, engineers, and project managers. You can explain complex analytical findings to both technical and non-technical audiences.Data Visualization and Reporting:
Proficiency in data visualization tools like Tableau, Power BI, or GIS software to create clear and informative visuals that support strategic decision-making.Educational Requirements:Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Environmental Science, Renewable Energy, Engineering, or a related field.
Equivalent experience in wind energy analysis or renewable energy modeling is highly valued.Certifications in wind energy, environmental analysis, or data analytics are a plus.Experience Requirements:2+ years of experience in wind energy analysis or a similar role,
with hands-on experience in assessing wind resources, modeling energy production, and conducting feasibility studies.Experience with wind assessment software such as WindPRO, WAsP, or GIS applications for site analysis.Familiarity with renewable energy regulations and standards, including those set by regulatory bodies and environmental agencies, is advantageous.
