• Collaborate with sales, service directors, on‑site services, repair centers, field engineers, and parts engineering groups to provide technical direction.
• Serve as a resource for less experienced colleagues, potentially leading small projects with low risk and resource requirements.
• Travel domestically to customer sites (5‑10% of time).

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or related field.
• Minimum of 5+ years of steam turbine service engineering experience.
• Minimum of 2+ years of field execution experience, preferably in the power generation industry.
• Catia CAD drafting experience is a bonus.

• Strong oral and written communication skills.
• Ability to analyze and resolve problems, document, plan, market, and execute programs with established project‑management skills.
• Good understanding of steam turbine and balance‑of‑plant systems and operations.
