Senior Mechanical Design Engineer – Steam Turbine Engineering
GE Vernova
Summary
At GE Vernova, we empower customers worldwide to extend the lifespan, enhance efficiency, and maximise performance of critical power generation assets—critical to the global energy transition.
We are seeking an experienced Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join our Steam Turbine Engineering team. This technical role focuses on retrofit engineering, customer-driven modifications, product upgrades, and lifetime extension solutions for GE Vernova’s installed steam turbine fleet globally.
The Opportunity
- Ideal for engineers who thrive on solving complex mechanical design challenges, particularly when adapting new solutions to legacy, field-operated equipment.
- Combines CAD ownership with hands-on technical problem-solving—balancing creativity with constraints in systems already deployed.
- While primarily office-based, the role involves collaboration with manufacturing teams and occasional site visits to factories or customer locations.
Key Responsibilities
As part of the Steam Turbine Engineering team, you will:
- Lead mechanical design projects, including retrofits, upgrades, and lifetime extension solutions for GE Vernova’s global fleet.
- Develop engineering solutions addressing customer-specific performance upgrades, component redesigns, and reliability improvements.
- Create, modify, and maintain 3D CAD designs (CATIA V5 or Siemens NX) while ensuring technical accuracy, manufacturability, and alignment with operational constraints.
- Adapt existing turbine designs for compatibilities and retrofits, integrating new components within installed systems.
- Support OTR (On-To-Run) engineering activities, resolving challenges in the installed fleet.
- Review and validate drawings, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and engineering documentation.
- Collaborate closely with manufacturing teams to bridge design and production requirements.
- Partner with internal and external stakeholders to deliver complete, robust design solutions.
- Support product sustainability initiatives, improving reliability, efficiency, and fleet longevity.
- Work directly with the Project Engineering Manager to ensure designs meet quality and deadline expectations.
