• Direct fleet rotating equipment programs, managing performance trending, inspections, testing activities, and lifecycle health of BOP and turbine‑related rotating equipment.
• Investigate rotating equipment reliability issues—such as cavitation, electrical faults, bearing and seal degradation, misalignment, balance, and vibration—and develop effective mitigation strategies.
• Analyze operational and condition data, lead rotating‑equipment‑focused root cause analyses, and recommend improvements to enhance BOP and turbine equipment reliability and availability.
• Provide engineering support during planned and forced outages, including scope development, repair evaluation, and review of inspection, alignment, and balance results for rotating equipment.
• Collaborate with plant teams, OEMs, and third‑party contractors to implement engineered solutions and drive continuous improvement across fleet BOP and turbine systems.
• Travel up to 40% across fleet sites to support evaluations, inspections, and outage execution.

• Self‑starter and motivated individual who takes initiative and demonstrates full ownership of activities required to fulfill the role.
• Ability to work collaboratively with plant personnel, engineering, and operations leadership to find practical solutions to problems encountered.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and analytical skills with the ability to work independently and manage multiple rotating equipment programs across fleet sites simultaneously.

• Minimum 5 years of relevant engineering experience in the power generation industry, with 10+ years preferred.
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering preferred; Electrical, Industrial, or related Engineering disciplines may be considered with relevant rotating equipment experience.
