To help you learn more about the type of roles that are available in the offshore wind sector a number of documents have been produced by industry bodies in Scotland and at UK level. The Scottish Offshore Wind Energy Council (SOWEC) and the Offshore Wind Industry Council (OWIC) have both released helpful guides to the type of roles you can expect to see in the industry.

The Scottish Offshore Wind Energy Council (SOWEC) and Skills Development Scotland (SDS) have produced a handy brochure covering this topic. 
A PDF copy of the brochure (image on the left) is available to view and download from the SDS web site.
