What a onshore wind energy engineer does
Onshore wind energy engineers design, install and maintain wind energy farms and equipment. They research and test locations to find the most productive location, test equipment and components such as wind-turbine blades, and develop strategies for more efficient energy production, and environmental sustainability.
