A wind technician's job can range from construction to maintenance and repairs on wind turbines. Some sources on AWEA's web site say that for every 10 wind turbines that are built, 1 new wind tech is needed for maintenance and repair. Reports of what they make vary. Some report a high hourly salary with a low per diem that totals around $65,000 per year on average in places with moderate costs of living in the U.S. Others report a medium salary with a high per diem that can total well north of $75,000 a year. Many employers also carry employee health insurance and issue a company truck for work related duties. As with everything, compensation depends on demand from employers which now appears to be high.
