About The Position

Addressing the climate crisis is an urgent global priority. If we want our energy future to be different, we must be different and lead the initiative to drive change. That is our mission. Steam Turbines are one of GE Vernova’s core products for clean energy generation. When used in combined cycle plants they enable the achievement of upmost efficiency and power. Whether the plant operates on liquid or gaseous fuels, carbon neutral e-fuels or hydrogen, steam turbines significantly drive decarbonization. While steam turbines themselves are CO2 free, they also enable traditional combine cycle plants to reduce carbon emissions through carbon capture capabilities. Our Sustainable Steam Solutions Engineering team develops and designs highly efficient turbomachines and seeks new talents to join. Latest engineering sciences and disciplines integrated with digital technologies are key competencies we are looking for. New joiners will enjoy a highly empowered and impactful team working across the entire product lifecycle. The NPI Delivery Shells/Casings Mechanical Component Engineer within the Steam Turbine is responsible for designing the High and Intermediate Pressure Casings which enable world-class performance and reliability. This is a critical role requiring both system level knowledge of turbomachinery safety and detailed mechanical component expertise to design the critical stationary component within the turbine.
