[Hiring] Lead HRSG Application Engineer @GE Vernova

Role Description

The Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) Application Engineer owns global, project-specific proposal activity to drive consistent functional specifications and standardized workflow processes for outsourced HRSG scopes. This role requires a strong understanding of gas turbine combined cycle power plant applications — including HRSG and water-steam cycle application engineering — with the ability to translate plant-level requirements into detailed functional specifications that enable qualified HRSG vendors to bid, design, and build to GE Vernova standards.

This individual will also own application engineering for the Hot Selective Catalytic Reduction (Hot SCR) system, ensuring seamless integration with overall plant performance requirements. In this capacity, the engineer is responsible for thoroughly understanding all Hot SCR project requirements to ensure conformance and satisfaction of customer and plant performance expectations. This role directly impacts the project team's ability to meet service, quality, and timeliness objectives, and operates within defined policy guidelines while exercising a high degree of operational judgment and moderate autonomy to drive outcomes.

Responsibilities

• HRSG Functional Specifications
  • Serve as the primary technical owner for outsourced HRSG scope, developing comprehensive functional specifications that define thermal performance, mechanical requirements, materials, and interfaces necessary for vendors to bid and execute HRSG fabrication and supply.
  • Demonstrate understanding of the combined cycle power plant applications.
  • Interface with HRSG vendors during the bid process to evaluate technical proposals, clarify requirements, and assess compliance with functional specifications.
  • Collaborate with the commercial team during the ITO phase, providing technical scoping, performance estimation, schedule and cost inputs that support winning bid strategies.
• Hot SCR Application Engineering
  • Own the technical application engineering of the Hot Selective Catalytic Reduction (Hot SCR) system, including system configuration.
  • Define functional specifications and interface requirements for the Hot SCR system, ensuring proper integration within the exhaust gas path.
  • Collaborate with environmental permitting teams and customers to ensure Hot SCR solution meet regulatory NOx reduction targets and applicable emissions standards.

Qualifications

• BS degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related technical discipline from an accredited university.
• At least 5 years of experience in thermal power plant engineering, HRSG systems, or related engineering functions.

Requirements

• Deep technical knowledge of combined cycle plant thermodynamics and the water-steam cycle, with hands-on experience in HRSG thermal design, performance modeling, or vendor specification development.
• Familiarity with Hot SCR systems, catalyst technology, NOx control strategies, and their integration within the exhaust gas path.
• Experience developing functional specifications for outsourced or vendor-supplied major equipment in a power generation context.
• Proficiency with heat balance tools and thermal modeling software.
• Strong oral and written communication skills with the ability to translate complex thermodynamic and mechanical concepts into clear vendor specifications and customer-facing documentation.
• Strong interpersonal and leadership skills; demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional teams including commercial, project management, and vendor partners.
• Demonstrated ability to analyze and resolve complex technical problems across system interfaces.
• Ability to document, plan, and execute programs with established project management discipline.
• Experience with multi-vendor bid processes, technical proposal evaluation, and contract technical alignment is highly desirable.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug coverage.
• Access to Health Coach from GE Vernova, a 24/7 nurse-based resource.
• Access to the Employee Assistance Program, providing 24/7 confidential assessment, counseling and referral services.
• Retirement benefits including the GE Vernova Retirement Savings Plan, a tax-advantaged 401(k) savings opportunity with company matching contributions and company retirement contributions.
• Access to Fidelity resources and financial planning consultants.
• Tuition assistance.
• Adoption assistance.
• Paid parental leave.
• Disability benefits.
