Who We Are

Rattlesnake Creek is one of the largest wind farms in Nebraska. Located in Dixon County, it began operations in 2018. The plant generates around 1,300 GWh of sustainable energy each year using 101 turbines. It eliminates 940,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually, which is roughly the amount produced by 200,000 vehicles. It can generate the energy equivalent of over 105,000 US households.

Wind turbine technicians inspect, troubleshoot, install components and repair wind turbines and turbine internal and external components such as controllers. They review manuals and schematic diagrams to determine the tasks, tools, equipment and parts needed. A Technician I will typically be performing planned maintenances while assisting Technician II's and III's in troubleshooting efforts to return turbines to service.
