Quality Inspector Wind Turbine Blades (Port Logistics)

Role Overview.

As a Port Quality Inspector for Wind Turbine Blades, you will be the final line of defense before massive, highly engineered wind components leave the port for transit to their installation sites. You will conduct rigorous structural and cosmetic inspections on newly arrived wind turbine blades, identifying shipping or manufacturing damage (such as cracks, laminations, or transport scuffs). This role requires a sharp eye for detail, a strong understanding of composite materials, and the ability to work safely in dynamic port environments.

Key Responsibilities

1. Visual & Structural Inspection
- Perform comprehensive incoming visual inspections of wind turbine blades upon offloading at the port terminal.
- Identify, document, and classify defects such as fiberglass delamination, gelcoat cracks, leading/trailing edge damage, structural buckling, or transportation-induced stress marks.
- Utilize specialized inspection techniques,



including tap testing (using an inspection hammer to detect internal voids/delamination by sound) and tactile assessments.
- Inspect critical hardware components, including root bolts, lightning protection systems (LPS), and internal blade cavities where accessible.

2. Documentation & Reporting
- Maintain accurate inspection logs, tracking sheets, and photographic evidence for every blade inspected.
- Generate detailed Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) for any damaged or defective blades, specifying the location, severity, and potential root cause of the issue.
- Communicate daily inspection findings directly with site managers, logistics partners, and the manufacturer’s quality engineering team.

3. Logistics & Safety Coordination
- Monitor lifting, rigging, and staging operations at the port to ensure blades are handled according to strict manufacturer guidelines.
- Verify that transport frames, root covers, and tip clamps are secure and undamaged during port storage.
