This year, Kitepower will operate the first Airborne Wind Energy Center of Excellence in Spain. The site will be located on La Gomera Island. The operations team is currently seeking passionate kite operators eager to assist Kitepower’s flight managers and contribute to the development and deployment of Kitepower’s commercial AWES to La Gomera.
As a kite operator at Kitepower, you will be responsible for preparing hardware for flights, participating in field execution of flights, and post-processing flight data. Initially, you will undergo a 6-month hands-on training at Kitepower’s flight center in Bangor Erris, Ireland. Subsequently, you will be involved in deploying Kitepower’s system to La Gomera, where operations will commence in the fall of 2024.
