Manufacturing Engineer - Weekend (Day Shift)

Siemens Energy • Charlotte, NC

77d

About The Position

You, as an integral part of a larger manufacturing team, will engage with the hourly workforce, manufacturing operations, design engineering, and project management, to develop and refine the process needed to satisfy the technical requirements of incoming customer service orders for steam turbines. These turbines range in size starting at a few thousand pounds up to over 200 tons. Over the course of every year our production traverses two outage seasons that are exciting and challenging: this is when electrical energy providers pause their power generation operations during times of low consumer demand having their equipment serviced in our factory. Some turbines come into our facility with very challenging needs, which takes your expertise to generate tooling and procedures for repair. You will shift between forward-looking process improvement innovations to urgent problems that require your immediate attention and applied expertise to maintain customer schedule. This job opportunity was developed to technically support the weekend operations working a 3x12 shift, Friday through Sunday.
