About The Role

Are you an experienced Wind Turbine Technician or electrical maintenance professional looking for a role where every day brings a new challenge and a genuine opportunity to support the UK's transition to a net zero future?

At EDF power solutions, we’re shaping an Electric UK and Ireland. Your work will help us turn that ambition into action – delivering renewable energy solutions that will power homes, businesses and communities for generations to come.

As part of our Fenlands team, you’ll help keep critical onshore wind assets operating safely and efficiently. From fault finding and maintenance to supporting major component replacements, your expertise will play a key role in maximising turbine availability and delivering clean energy generation.

The Opportunity

As a Wind Turbine Technician, you’ll join a skilled team responsible for maintaining and optimising onshore wind turbines across our Senvion asset portfolio. You'll work on a variety of planned and reactive maintenance activities while developing your technical expertise in a fast-moving renewable energy environment.

Alongside a salary range of between £37,700 to £50,000 per annum according to experience, you'll be based from our #Fenlands Service Centre in #Whittlesey, #Peterborough. Working hours are 37 hours per week for new technicians, with overtime available. For this role, you'll generally live within 45 minutes of site and hold a full UK driving licence.

You'll have the opportunity to work on a wide range of turbine systems and technologies, contributing directly to renewable energy generation. No two days are the same, and you'll play an important role in maintaining high safety standards while supporting turbine performance across our operational sites.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
