What we're looking for

At Vestas, demonstrated real-world experience and effective problem-solving count more than formal degrees. We are looking for technicians who know the field and want to take their careers to the next digital level:
Experience: Minimum 1 year in the Wind Industry (specifically as a Field Technician or in Control Centers). Direct experience with Vestas Turbines is especially valuable
Alternative Experience: In the absence of wind industry experience, at least 3 years of demonstrable experience in complex hydraulic, electrical, or mechanical systems is required
Education: Bachelor's Degree in Engineering (Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical, Energy) or Technical Associate Degree (FP Superior) in Electronics, Automation, Robotics, or Renewables
Languages: Intermediate English (B1/B2). You are fluent enough to respond to technical emails and handle emergency calls in an international environment
IT Proficient: Proficiency with diagnostic tools; prior use of SCADA and SAP is highly valued
Availability: Ability to work in a 24/7 rotating shift system (including nights and weekends)

The role

Vestas Eólica, S.A.U. > Service > Global Service Operations > Remote Operations Center EMEA

As a Remote Operations Engineer at the Madrid ROC, you will be part of the strategic core ensuring the global availability of our wind turbine fleet. This high-level technical position focuses on real-time monitoring, advanced diagnostics, and remote incident resolution, directly affecting performance optimization and the reduction of the cost of energy.

What you'll do

As part of our 24/7 Monitoring Team, your role is built upon three strategic pillars:
The Technical "Problem Solver": You will use advanced SCADA and SAP tools to diagnose why a multi-million euro machine has stopped. Your role is to determine with precision whether you can fix the issue with a single click from Madrid or if a technician must be dispatched to the field
The Effective Communicator: You will manage communications with customers and field technicians during urgent incidents. You demonstrate the ability to translate complex technical problems into simple, professional solutions via both phone and email
Operational Resilience: In a 24/7 environment, your responsibility is paramount. You will maintain high standards and attention to detail-especially during night shifts-remaining consistently meticulous with data and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
