  • Ability to read electrical schematics and understand industrial installations.
  • Ability to work in heights (training provided)
  • Willingness to travel approximately 10% of your time to various international locations

It's a plus if you have:

  • Experience with wind turbines, power systems, or renewables.
  • Hands-on skills in electrical troubleshooting and commissioning,
  • Working knowledge of collaboration and DevOps tools such as GitLab, Jira, and Confluence.
  • Familiarity with AWS services (Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, EC2).
  • Experience with Python/Go and related data science frameworks

Location: Skive, Odense, Silkeborg (DK), Rendsburg (DE), or Klagenfurt (AT). Hybrid work is possible.

How we work:

  • Direct collaboration with experts across DEIF’s international Wind Team in Denmark, Germany and Austria
  • Flexible hours, hybrid work, and dedicated training budget (e.g. GWO, AWS, conferences).
  • Strong learning and feedback culture — we share, test, and ship fast.
