Job Description
The Senior Engineer is a technical authority and project engineer for power generation systems, responsible for independent engineering decision making and capital project execution to ensure safe, reliable, and compliant plant operation. This role combines deep electrical and mechanical engineering expertise with full project ownership, including scope development, budgeting, scheduling, vendor management, and commissioning. The Senior Engineer supports steam and gas generating assets and applies engineering judgment across generators, transformers, breakers, relays, turbines, boilers, and high pressure steam systems.
The role requires strong design basis discipline, experience working in regulated utility or heavy industrial environments, and the ability to identify and escalate engineering risks early. The Senior Engineer partners closely with Operations, Maintenance, Project Managers, and Engineering teams, supports outages and inspections, ensures compliance with applicable reliability and regulatory requirements (including NERC), and produces clear, defensible engineering documentation and technical justifications.
