The job requires attention to detail and strict adherence to safety protocols, as you'll be climbing turbines and sometimes working with complex or delicate components.

Attention to detail, strong analytical skills, and the ability to work at heights and communicate effectively are standout soft skills in this role. These skills ensure that inspections are conducted thoroughly and safely, minimizing risks and ensuring turbine reliability and efficiency.
