Work for National Wind Assessments, one of the leading wind resource analysis companies in the industry.

We are an employee-owned company supplying premium wind assessment services to wind energy projects across the country. Meteorological (Met) towers are used to measure wind speeds and determine wind farm layout and power potential. Met towers can range in height from 50 Meters to 80 Meters. Wind data and direction is collected at various heights of the tower to analyze speed, wind sheer, direction, and seasonal wind differentiation. Accurate wind data is extremely valuable for any wind energy project. The use of met towers decrease variable wind data by measuring speeds near actual wind turbine hub heights.

We look for bright, ambitious professionals who have the technical skills and know-how to install meteorological towers and analyze wind energy data.
