Wind Energy Operations Managers

The U.S. Department of Labor does not provide information on the employment outlook for wind energy operations managers. It does, however, predict that job opportunities for the related career of industrial production manager will grow by 3 percent from 2023 to 2033. This is about as fast as the average for all occupations. A growing number of wind turbines are being installed and operations managers, technicians, and other workers will be needed to operate and maintain them.

Employment opportunities will be best in areas such as the Great Plains, the Midwest, and along the coasts of the United States. Wind energy operations managers with relevant work experience and strong technology and interpersonal skills will have the best chances of finding work.
