About Christopher Mcconnell

With over 20 years of experience in engineering and renewable energy sectors, I am a passionate and multi-skilled engineer who thrives on engaging and challenging engineering projects. I am currently a Limited Scope Authorised Technician for several major clients, across various technologies, and have performed main component exchange, structural frame repairs, and civils works coordination in addition to routine service and maintenance works. I am proficient in TEKLA, SolidWorks, CAD and OnShape, and have a background in structural steel detailing, tooling design and fabrication work. Some of the projects I have worked on include GE/Alstom Eco100 Block 2 Exchange, GE/Alstom Eco 100 Rear Frame Repair campaign, Siemens 1.3mW blade bearing and pitch cylinder replacement campaign, GE 2.75-120 Hub Replacement, and Langage Power Station Gas Turbine Refurbishment. I have also conducted general servicing, maintenance, and fault diagnosis and rectification for various wind turbine models, such as GE 1.5, GE Eco 74, Siemens 1.3mW, and Siemens 2.3mW. I have used my technical knowledge and skills to design a variety of tooling, including lifting tackle, stands, generator alignment tools, as well as various jigs and fixtures to facilitate works being carried out.
