After a site is selected and construction begins, trade workers help install the wind turbines and support structures. This requires the work of many skilled people, including a wide variety of trade workers. Trade workers in the wind turbine construction phase are primarily, but are not limited to cement masons, electricians, and equipment operators.
A Rigger Foreperson has overall responsibility for leading the rigging team in the installation and construction phase of the project. The role typically includes preparing daily reports on project progress, resource allocation, assisting with construction methodologies and progress, and liaising with all stakeholders to ensure the project is delivered in a safe and timely manner.
Trade workers are typically employed for the installation of the turbine components which involves tying rebar, cement work, rigging, climbing, and working at heights.
Some examples of trade workers in the wind industry are cement masons and electricians.
Cement masons are responsible for pouring, smoothing, and finishing concrete foundations for wind turbines. Concrete work for wind farms is very repetitive as typically one foundation design will be used per project, and single projects can have hundreds of turbine foundations.
Electricians are needed to get the energy from the turbine's generator to the power grid on the ground. They wire the turbine to connect its electrical system, install the wind farm collection system, and construct substations.

If you work in a maritime security zone, you need to hold a Maritime Security Identification Card (MSIC).
The MSIC is a national identification card that proves you have passed a background check, and met the minimum security requirements to work unescorted or unmonitored in a maritime security zone. The MSIC is not an access card, so you'll also have to request access from individual port or facility control locations.
You'll need to hold a MSIC if, at least once a year, you require unmonitored access to a maritime security zone, as part of your employment as a:
