• Support resin infusion, vacuum preparation, infusion layout, valve operation, curing profile control, blanket covering, hardness/TG checks, debagging, demolding, and auxiliary material removal.
• Support web bonding and shell bonding activities, including bonding surface preparation, glue mixing, paste application, gantry and lifting fixture positioning, dry-fit checks, bonding gap adjustment, perimeter vacuum control, mold closing, and inner reinforcement layup.
• Perform trimming, root surface trimming and root milling support, sanding, grinding, putty application, surface finishing, touch-up, coating, painting, leading-edge protection, add-ons installation, marking, and delivery/shipping preparation.
• Support blade weighing, weight-balance calculation, balance correction, production record preparation, certificate of conformity inspection support, and final production documentation.
• Identify defects, support repair activities, follow NCR and repair processes, and participate in defect improvement and root-cause corrective action activities under supervision.

Nacelle and Hub Assembly

• Support the assembly of nacelle structures and hub-related mechanical systems in accordance with engineering documentation, standard operating procedures, and production plans.
• Assist in the installation and integration of major nacelle components, including gearbox, generator, main shaft, yaw system, cooling systems, hydraulic systems, and related structural and mechanical parts.
• Install mechanical components, electrical cabling, hydraulic lines, and auxiliary systems while following approved work instructions and safety requirements.
• Use torque tools, measuring instruments, and precision assembly equipment to meet specified tolerances and assembly requirements.
• Assist in alignment checks, functional testing, pre-dispatch inspections, and readiness checks before delivery or handover.
• Maintain production records and follow standardized work procedures, quality checklists, and engineering documentation.
  

Quality Assurance, Safety, Process, and Maintenance Exposure

• Receive basic quality and inspection training, including the use of measuring instruments, quality checklists, production records, and inspection documentation.
• Support raw material inspection for main and auxiliary materials, visual inspections, dimensional checks, process checks, defect criteria learning, and onsite quality-control activities.
• Learn quality control points for component production, shell layup, infusion and curing, debagging, web bonding, shell bonding, finishing, paint inspection, UT scan support, and certificate of conformity documentation.
• Follow PPE requirements, safety education, job safety analysis requirements, workplace hazard identification, daily safety inspection
• Understand production compliance with SOPs, drawing review, production daily reporting, defect repair follow-up, root-cause corrective action, and continuous improvement activities.
• Gain exposure to operation and basic maintenance of production equipment such as vacuum pumps, infusion machines, paste/glue machines, gantries, rotation equipment, root milling machines, molds, and related facilities.
