One of our core clients reached out to us this week asking for help with a key role within their wind resource assessment group. They have an immediate opening for a Senior Wind Energy Analyst in their west coast office. (More details below) Can you think of anyone that might be qualified? I don’t expect you to know if someone is interested, actively looking, or fully qualified. At this stage I would simply appreciate networking with you. I promise to treat every referral with confidentiality, professional courtesy and respect as I share the opportunity with them.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Just so there's no confusion...this is not an energy market weather forecasting gig...this is support for a wind power developer. Generally 9-5 type jobs with some longer weeks here and there. And the industry pays well....though probably not what you can make on the energy market side. Great industry to get involved in. Developers generally looking for experience...but given the relative youth of the field some are willing to settle for no experience with a strong educational background. Theres quite a few opportunities out there in the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres quite a few opportunities out there in the field. I have friends who work at WindLogics and another at NextEra Energy both doing wind energy related work. A very good field to work in based on what I know from them regarding both pay and job duties. Pretty much need a M.S. or higher though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres quite a few opportunities out there in the field. I was wondering about the pay since they expect candidates to be experts in both sensing equipment and statistical techniques as well as having 5 years of experience within the renewable energy industry. I imagine the starting pay must be rather high since this isn't an entry level position and I'm curious what the pay and benefits are specifically.

Well I'll say this...if you have a MS degree, you can likely find an entry level position somewhere in the $55-65k range depending on how technical of a skill you have to market and depending whether you are on the development side or the consultant side. Five years experience will get you a sizeable jump above that. This sounds like a consultant position, given the reference to clients and proprietary software...my guess is pay here would be $68k+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
