Build Quality Into the Future of Wind Energy
Zephyr Repower is seeking an experienced QA/QC Representative to support wind energy repowering, service, and major corrective projects throughout North America.
This is a hands-on, field-based quality role for someone who understands that quality is more than completing a checklist. You’ll work alongside project managers, field leadership, technicians, subcontractors, and customers to identify issues, verify work, maintain documentation, and help ensure projects are completed safely, accurately, and to the required standards.
If you have strong wind turbine or renewable energy experience, understand field construction and maintenance, and aren’t afraid to speak up when something isn’t right, we want to hear from you.
What You’ll Do
As a QA/QC Representative, you’ll help protect the quality and integrity of Zephyr Repower projects from execution through completion.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Conducting quality assurance and quality control inspections and audits throughout wind energy projects.
- Monitoring field activities for compliance with company procedures, regulatory requirements, project specifications, and applicable industry standards.
- Reviewing and interpreting SWIs, lift plans, QA checklists, civil and electrical drawings, and wind turbine generator schematics.
- Verifying materials and equipment meet applicable project and quality requirements.
- Identifying quality concerns, documentation gaps, missing controls, and field deviations before they become larger project issues.
- Documenting inspection findings and maintaining accurate quality records, inspection logs, and supporting documentation.
- Communicating quality concerns clearly with project managers, field leadership, subcontractors, crews, and customer representatives.
- Recommending and supporting corrective actions when deficiencies are identified.
- Helping resolve quality-related issues while keeping project execution moving forward.
- Supporting continuous improvement efforts across projects and field operations.
- Promoting a culture of accountability, safety, transparency, teamwork, and operational excellence.
What We’re Looking For

- Experience performing or documenting critical field inspections.

- Ability to interpret technical documentation, drawings, work instructions, inspection requirements, and project specifications.
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to recognize potential quality issues or documentation gaps.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to professionally address quality concerns with technicians, foremen, subcontractors, project leadership, and customer representatives.
- Working knowledge of Microsoft 365, including Excel and SharePoint.
- Ability to work independently in a fast-paced field environment.
- Valid driver’s license.
- Ability and willingness to travel extensively.

- SWPPP
- Field engineering
- Construction quality
- Lean construction or process improvement
- OSHA or similar safety certifications
An associate’s or bachelor’s degree in engineering, renewable energy, or a related field is preferred but not required.

The QA/QC Representative must be comfortable working throughout active wind energy project sites, including areas such as:
- Wind turbines
- Foundations
- Substations
- Cable trenches
- Crane paths
- Active construction and maintenance areas
Candidates must be able to walk turbine sites, enter foundations, work outdoors in varying weather conditions, and climb wind turbines when required.

Compensation

Compensation within the range will be based on relevant experience, technical knowledge, wind industry background, and demonstrated QA/QC capabilities.
Who Will Succeed Here?
You’ll likely be a strong fit if you:
- Notice the details other people miss.
- Understand the difference between simply documenting work and actually protecting quality.
- Are comfortable asking questions and challenging something that doesn’t look right.
- Can communicate a quality concern without creating unnecessary conflict.
