Role Summary (Purpose)

• Lead the engineering execution of upgrades, conversions, modifications and uprates for gas turbines and associated combined-cycle plant systems (balance-of-plant mechanical and electrical). Provide wing-to-wing project engineering leadership from proposal through installation and handover, coordinating across engineering, sourcing/procurement, manufacturing, field services, and customer stakeholders to deliver scope safely, on schedule, and within budget.
• Key Responsibilities
• Own the technical scope for gas turbine and combined-cycle plant upgrade s including integration with HRSG, steam turbine, and BOP systems (mechanical/electrical).
• Provide end-to-end project engineering leadership from inquiry/proposal through execution, installation, commissioning support, and closeout.
• Build and manage engineering schedules; align project milestones with project management, field services, supply chain, and customer needs; monitor progress and drive issue resolution.
• Define and control engineering deliverables (drawings, specifications, bill of materials), review and approve vendor/manufacturing documentation, and ensure configuration control/change management.
• Coordinate parts/material requisitions and approvals; support procurement and supplier technical clarifications.
• Prepare and/or validate installation/field work instructions and support field issue resolution during installation and commissioning.
• Manage technical risks, assumptions, interfaces, and dependencies; maintain action logs and risk registers.
• Track and forecast engineering and material costs; support estimate-at-completion and variance analysis; contribute to change orders where appropriate.
• Communicate technical scope and status to internal teams and customers; deliver clear technical presentations and facilitate cross-functional reviews.
• Promote quality, safety, and compliance; capture and drive lessons learned into processes, tools, and standards; mentor junior engineers.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor s degree in engineering (mechanical, electrical, controls, or related discipline) or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of engineering or field experience in power generation, with direct exposure to gas turbines and combined-cycle plant operations (peaking and CCGT configurations).
• Demonstrated project engineering experience: schedule management, scope control, cost forecasting, risk management, and cross-functional coordination.
• Ability to interpret and produce engineering documentation (P&IDs, one-line diagrams, mechanical drawings, specifications, BOMs).
• Willingness to travel domestically and internationally as needed to support project and site activities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Systems thinker with strong understanding of how gas turbine, HRSG, steam turbine, and BOP systems interact within a combined-cycle plant.
• Working knowledge of power plant electrical systems: excitation, generator protection, synchronization, LV/MV switch gear, MCCs, and one-line diagrams.
• Familiarity with plant control and communication systems (DCS/PLC, turbine controls, industrial communication networks).
• Experience preparing or validating field installation packages/work instructions and supporting resolution of site technical issues.
• Experience with configuration control, change management, and design reviews; comfort collaborating with suppliers and manufacturing.
• Strong communication, stakeholder management, and influencing skills across customer and multi-disciplinary internal teams. [Complex Gas Upgrades LPB.docx]
