The EWR Training Academy
At Energy Wind and Renewables, we believe in setting proper expectations through training, education, and an immersion into wind – A way for us to inform newcomers about what to expect, as well as to refresh and provide insight into all of the disciplines within turbine erection.
The Academy lasts 5 full days, and EWR plans to have 4 sessions per year to ensure all new employees are covered. Single, urgent new hires have a condensed site-based version provided until the full Academy can be completed.
Safety Orientation
An in-depth orientation module which covers every aspect of the HSE world in wind and which outlines the EWR safety expectations – Class based.

Torque and Tensioning
Employees are shown how to inspect, set up and change parameters on several different torque tools. Using a custom designed and built torquing work area, this ensures that the individual can safely run and achieve the required working parameters for each situation at site. This module also gives them a firsthand insight into the weight of these tools and ergonomics required for their safe handling and use – class based & practical.
Electrical / Hydraulic Safety
This module is designed to demonstrate the safety basics around working in either of these fields. It covers legislation and gives the employee a high-level overview of the risks associated along with the safe work practices required to mitigate those risks – Class based & practical
Rigging / Rope Basics
The goal of this module is to give each employee a basic understanding of the rigging used at site, together with a working knowledge of tying the rope knots required – class based & practical.
Equipment Competency
Employees with existing equipment certs / licenses are put through a module where they must demonstrate their ability to do pre-use inspections as well as safely operate the applicable piece of equipment. This is a practical based module with employees running equipment and performing specific tasks within a custom designed area. The equipment types include loaders, telehandlers, and skid steers – Practical.
