The hard-working people in Renewable Energy continue to inspire me! Had the honor of joining this amazing group of technicians for breakfast last week in Iowa as they were coming off a night shift on a Repower job. In case you don't know, Major Component / Crane work is best scheduled around low-wind windows so the shifts can change often. They all have an inspiring dedication to their careers and expertise in their trade! One of the conversation topics was trust with the crane operator. They all shared their thoughts on the importance of this trust between the technicians and the crane operators; How to build it, the long period of time that it takes to build that trust, and the increased efficiency that can be achieved once that trust is truly in place. Regardless of your job type, years of services, or career position, these social-skills, soft-skills, interpersonal-skills, personal attributes, and intentional communication skills are paramount to achieving entitlement in any work process. This is an example of Professionalism at its best! What are some other ways to identify Professionalism in people, teams, departments, and companies? #altair #windenergy #renewableenergy

"First things first: If you hate heights, being a wind turbine technician is probably not the career for you. Sure, we’ve had people who aren’t comfortable with heights be successful in the job. But I can safely say you’re climbing up 300 feet a day. (Sometimes literally: Older wind farms have turbines that you get up using ladders, although most places now use an elevator or trolley system.) "A mechanical background or an electrical background is helpful. I got a job with a builder right out of high school and worked my way up until the housing market fell off around 2008. That’s when I decided to enroll in a one-year vocational program to train in power generation, with a big focus on wind energy. I was hired immediately after school and basically traveled the United States as a wind technician. Around that time, there was a big push for wind generation. And really, that push hasn’t stopped. We're in a world right now where we're just trying to keep up. I really want to cement renewables as the primary means of power generation moving forward. Some of my best days at work have been when I get to be the first boots on the ground touching some new technology, figuring it out, and coming up with answers before anybody else does. "It's a blue-collar job, right? It's a 7-to-3, 7-to-5 day, five days a week. You're required to take on-call and overtime assignments on the weekend. So you're out in the field, you're out in the elements. That’s the biggest challenge. In the Midwest, I go from one extreme to the other—the hot, humid summer months and then freezing cold months. You dress for the weather. Almost every company I’ve worked for gives you an allowance for gear like balaclavas, hand warmers, foot warmers, coverall bibs, heavy jackets." #windturbine #repair

"Excited to embark on a new journey as a seasoned power plant operator! With 10 years of experience in operations, maintenance, and safety protocols, I'm committed to optimizing efficiency, ensuring reliability, and fostering teamwork. Looking forward to engaging with industry peers and sharing insights on sustainable energy solutions. #PowerPlantOperator #EnergyEfficiency #SafetyFirst"

At Coharbor Electric, our goal isn’t to be the cheapest option available; it's to be the best. While we know there are plenty of competitors out there, if you're looking for an electrician in southwest Florida, it's likely that our quote won’t be the lowest. But here’s why we believe we stand out: In the home services industry, most companies source their equipment from the same suppliers at similar prices. So, the cost of materials is generally the same for us as it is for our competitors. If you find a lower price, it often means that company might be:  • Using less experienced technicians, or  • Cutting corners that could lead to issues down the line. We frequently hear from clients who chose a cheaper option and then struggled to get support when problems arose. We never want you to face that situation. At Coharbor Electric, we’re committed to standing behind our work. That’s why we employ top-notch professionals and ensure our schedules are managed to promptly handle any warranty issues. So, while we might not be the cheapest, we’re confident that we offer the best service.
