From the nacelle to the boardroom, the experience that informs every piece of advice the firm gives.
The first years of any real wind career: up-tower, in the nacelle, learning how the machine actually behaves — what fails, why it fails, and what it takes to put it back into production. The foundation everything else is built on.
Leading major corrective work across European wind fleets — gearbox, generator and drivetrain campaigns, blade work, crane and lifting operations. The discipline that decides whether a fleet protects its design life or quietly bleeds value.
Founded Kjær Wind-Advisory AB to put 24 years of operational experience directly at the service of asset owners — without the conflicts of interest that come with selling parts, services or contracts.
Built an in-house Operations team across 13 countries and 200+ sites in Europe — to one of the highest standards in the industry on financial performance, achieving benchmark O&M costs and outstanding output.
The work meant integrating different company cultures into a single network of self-sufficient service units — local in execution, aligned in standards, accountable on the same P&L.
Direct leadership of teams of up to 40 — technicians, Service Managers, Site Managers and Asset Managers — across the full lifecycle of new wind assets entering operation.
Working alongside Developers and Construction from late-build through commissioning and handover, owning the transition into operation: punch-list closeout, contractual takeover, performance baselining, and the first operating cycles where long-term asset behaviour is set.
The most recent chapter: working hands-on with crane companies, ISPs and OEMs across construction and operations sites to make major-component lifting safer and reduce on-site accidents — the high-consequence work where most of the risk and most of the cost actually lives.
In parallel, a continuous engagement with suppliers — meeting, evaluating and qualifying — to find the tools that the next generation of major-component work will demand. Leading a small team of specialists dedicated to that mission.
From installation technician to Lifting & Major Corrective Manager — the operational arc that sits behind every recommendation.
Leading lifting operations and major component replacements across multiple sites. Working with ISPs, OEMs and crane companies to reduce incidents and raise lifting standards. Evaluating tooling from global suppliers for the next generation of major-component work, with a specialised international team.
Accountable for all Swedish wind farm operations — new and existing customer sites. Cross-functional team of 35+: Site Managers, Service Managers, Asset Managers and Technicians. Full O&M budget and strategic planning. Led major site transitions and shaped long-term SMA/TSA service agreements across the Nordics.
Liaison between E.ON and Vestas on a long-term partnership. Turbine procurement and negotiation, resolution of complex technical issues, and the build-out of an in-house technical support function inside E.ON.
Built and led service teams across Sweden and Europe. Worked across Procurement, Asset Management, Technical Project Support and Technical Support. Specialist focus on gearbox inspections, oil analysis and blade inspections; later transitioned into Service Manager for NEON operations.
Trained internal and customer technicians on wind turbine maintenance and upgrades. Supported Vattenfall, Arise and E.ON sites — commissioning, storage setup, technical mentoring. Brought technicians up to C-level certification across a rapidly growing Vestas footprint.
Gearbox and generator replacements, scheduled service and fault diagnostics on Vestas and NEG Micon turbines.
Installed wind turbines across Europe, onshore and offshore. Service and troubleshooting on offshore installations including the UK sector.
Twelve months of military service, including a tour as a UN soldier in Bosnia, before a career in the field.
