About Heidi Tinnesand

I am a motivated, results-driven engineer with experience testing utility wind turbines, designing and building data acquisition systems, managing large research projects, designing innovative workforce development programs, and leading effective teams. I have a passion for renewable energy and the environment. My engineering career has focused primarily in the wind industry with a balance between project management and fieldwork in remote locations. I am an avid traveler, private pilot, amateur sailor, and love to spend my free time outside. Most weekends you will find me rock climbing, skiing, mountain biking, hiking, backpacking, or gardening. I am a creative problem-solver, a tenacious student, a motivated self-starter, and unrelenting when it comes to completing projects. Specialties: project management, wind resource assessment, relationship development, account management, technical sales, power performance testing, mechanical engineering.
