WANT TO GET A JOB AT C-POWER?

Offshore Service Technician

C-Power wants to strengthen the team of Thornton Bank Maintenance Services BV (THBMS) with Offshore Service Technicians.

Thornton Bank Maintenance Services BV maintains the first wind farm in the Belgian North Sea of ​​parent company C-Power. THBMS is not dependent on a wind turbine supplier and is therefore unique in the sector. This brings with it a range of challenges and opportunities, including opportunities for continuous learning. All facets of maintenance are done by THBMS itself and the decision center is located in Ostend.

As an Offshore Service Technician you are an essential link in our team of technical wind turbine specialists and you play a key role in the maintenance of the wind turbines on Thornton Bank. You are responsible for carrying out both preventive and corrective maintenance on the Thornton Bank on the North Sea.

What does your day look like

  • Morning briefing: The team meets for a briefing with the supervisor to discuss the work orders for the day and determine what technical works need to be carried out on the wind turbines.
  • Travel to the wind farm: Together with your team you will leave by boat or helicopter to our wind farm on the Thornton Bank (30 km out to sea).
  • Activities at sea: You work in teams of 3 people on the maintenance and repairs of the wind turbines, supported by an offshore team leader and an onshore supervisor.
  • Collaboration: As a team you ensure that the technical works are carried out efficiently and safely, with a focus on electronics, hydraulics and mechanics.
  • Safety first: You will strictly follow our HSE procedures and rules to ensure the safety of yourself and your team. Since you work at a height of more than 90 m, safety is the first priority for you and your colleagues.
  • Respect for the environment: We work with respect for the sea and the natural environment, working in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way.
  • Back to the quay: After the work is completed, the team will be picked up by boat or helicopter and you will return to the quay.
  • End of the day: Together with your team and the storekeeper, you ensure that all material ends up safely in the warehouse before returning home.

What does your work schedule look like

  • Your shift lasts 10 or 11 hours each, of which you spend approximately 8 hours on the wind turbines to carry out technical work.
  • Together with your team you work a shift of 7 days in a row (onshift), after 7 days there is a period of 7 rest days (offshift).

On bad weather days it is not safe to transfer to the turbines. Then we focus on:

  • Technical training
  • First Aid and evacuation exercises
  • Preparatory work in our brand new workshop

If desired, you can participate in the exchange of large wind turbine components such as control cabinets, generators, main bearings & transformers. This is done from a crane ship that also remains at sea at night during the campaign.
