  • Develop and maintain strong working relationships with external suppliers and technical partners.
  • Evaluate system performance and recommend improvements related to efficiency, durability, and lifecycle cost.
  • Stay informed on applicable industry codes, standards, and emerging technologies.
  • Provide technical guidance and informal mentorship to less experienced engineers, supporting knowledge transfer and best practices.

  • Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline.
  • Approximately 10+ years of professional engineering experience, including direct involvement in turbine or rotating equipment systems.
  • Proven background in mechanical design, build support, testing, and root-cause troubleshooting of power generation equipment.
  • Working knowledge of supplier engagement, component sourcing, and engineering-to-manufacturing interfaces.
  • Comfortable operating in a growth-oriented environment with evolving processes and priorities.

Attributes & Working Style

  • Energized by fast-moving technical environments and comfortable taking ownership.
  • Naturally analytical, with the ability to break down complex challenges and propose practical solutions.
  • Self-directed and commercially aware, with a builder’s mindset.
  • Demonstrates strong integrity, professionalism, and a customer-focused approach to engineering.
  • Collaborative communicator who contributes ideas openly and constructively.
  • Confident yet humble, with a willingness to challenge assumptions and learn continuously.
