Description
Offshore renewable energy plant operators operate and maintain equipment which produce electrical energy from marine renewable sources such as offshore wind power, wave power, or tidal currents. They monitor measuring equipment to ensure the safety of operations, and that the production needs are met. They also react to system problems, and repair faults.
