  • Ensure lessons learned are communicated and incorporated into procedures and training.
  • Hold leaders and field personnel accountable for safe work execution and stop-work responsibilities.

Client and Business Development
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with wind farm owners, operators, original equipment manufacturers, engineering firms, and service partners.
  • Serve as a senior point of contact for key clients and strategically important projects.
  • Support proposals, estimating, scope development, contract reviews, and business development efforts.
  • Identify opportunities to expand blade services offerings and improve client value.
  • Ensure client expectations are clearly understood, communicated, and consistently met.
  • Resolve escalated operational, quality, schedule, and commercial issues.

Financial and Commercial Management
  • Maintain accountability for revenue, gross margin, labor productivity, project costs, and overall business performance.
  • Review project budgets, forecasts, change orders, invoices, and financial reports.
  • Ensure work is performed within contract requirements and approved budgets.
  • Identify cost-saving opportunities without compromising safety, quality, or schedule.
  • Support pricing strategies and resource planning for new and existing work.
  • Monitor labor, equipment, travel, subcontractor, and material costs.

Quality and Technical Excellence
  • Establish and maintain quality standards for blade inspection, repair, documentation, and final acceptance.
  • Ensure technicians and supervisors are properly trained and qualified for assigned work.
  • Promote the use of consistent repair methods, inspection criteria, technical documentation, and closeout practices.
  • Partner with engineering and technical teams to resolve complex blade conditions and repair challenges.
  • Review quality trends, rework, warranty issues, and client feedback.
  • Drive continuous improvement in tools, equipment, materials, repair techniques, and field execution.

Workforce Development
  • Recruit, develop, and retain qualified blade-service personnel.
  • Establish career paths and development plans for technicians, leads, supervisors, and project managers.
  • Support training programs involving composites, blade inspection, rope access, rescue, fall protection, lifting, and other required qualifications.
  • Establish clear roles, responsibilities, reporting relationships, and performance expectations.
  • Promote employee engagement, accountability, teamwork, and professional growth.
  • Develop succession plans for key leadership and technical positions.

Reporting and Continuous Improvement
  • Establish regular reporting for safety, quality, schedule, productivity, utilization, financial performance, and customer satisfaction.
  • Review performance data and take timely corrective action when results do not meet expectations.
  • Lead after-action reviews and lessons-learned processes.
  • Standardize best practices across projects and regions.
  • Provide regular updates to executive leadership regarding business performance, risks, staffing, and strategic priorities.
