Senior Engineering Leader - Performance & Steam Path (m/d/f)

Job Description Summary

Steam turbines sit at the heart of how the world generates reliable power — and the way they perform, upgrade, and adapt defines what's possible for fossil and nuclear plants for decades to come.

As Senior Engineering Leader for Performance & Steam Path, you'll guide the global team responsible for steam cycle analysis, turbine performance design, and steam path layout on some of the industry's most complex upgrade and retrofit projects. You'll help shape the technology roadmap for this discipline, working from early concept through full project execution on New Product Introduction (NPI), first-of-a-kind, and Conversion, Modernization & Upgrade (CM&U) programs.

You'll partner closely with different engineering disciplines, customers, and suppliers to solve hard technical problems, reduce risk, and improve the value delivered to customers — while building the technical capability of your team through mentoring and knowledge-sharing across a global footprint.

Job Description

Key Responsibilities

Lead and develop the global Performance & Steampath team, delivering steam cycle modelling, steampath design, and performance guarantees across New Product Introduction (NPI) and Conversion, Modernization & Upgrade (CM&U) projects, from Inquiry to Order (ITO) through Order to Remittance (OTR)

Serve as the technical authority for steam turbine performance and steampath design and analysis, representing GE Vernova's engineering expertise directly with customers

Shape technology roadmaps and design standards, advancing innovation and simplification toward standardized, modular products and services

Build team capability and resourcing strategy to support the Steam Turbine Upgrade & Service business, while strengthening engineering productivity and efficiency

Prioritize product and fleet safety, and develop tools and processes to proactively manage technical risk

Implement global standards, common processes, and performance metrics to ensure consistent, high-quality delivery across a lean organization
