offshore renewable energy technician
Offshore renewable energy technicians install offshore energy farms and equipment. They ensure the equipment operate in compliance with regulations and assist the offshore renewable energy engineers in the construction of energy devices such as wind turbine blades, tidal stream and wave generators. They also react to system problems, and repair faults.

Zone 3: Medium Preparation Needed
Medium preparation. Vocational training, related on-the-job experience, or an associate degree, with one to two years of training that combines experience and informal instruction.
Job Zone is O*NET's rating of how much education, experience and training an occupation typically needs — a property of the work, not of anyone doing it.
