Mechanical Design Engineer – Lead Steam Turbine Structure LP Hood Engineer (m/f/d)

# Job Description Summary
Addressing the climate crisis is an urgent global priority. If we want our energy future to be different, we must be different. 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 combine cycle plants to add carbon capture capabilities.

Our engineering team develops and designs those 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 team working across the entire product lifecycle.

Are you interested in being part of the GE Vernova team Leading A New Era of Energy? Do you like having full ownership of a critical technology across the full lifespan? Is a position of Technical and Leadership growth limited only by your imagination and initiative appealing? Maybe a position in our Steam Turbine Engineering team is for You!

The Steam Turbine Engineering team develops and designs highly efficient turbomachines through the latest engineering sciences and disciplines integrated with digital technologies.
The Lead Engineer – LP Hood will work closely with internal partners, interfacing with other teams such as steampath, rotor, thermodynamics, manufacturing, and the people on site, playing a central role in the timely and successful execution of projects worldwide. Primary task is to design project specific LP Hood components and crossover pipe for combined cycle steam turbines, as well as supporting junior engineers in the completion of their daily work and in their development.
Activities contribute to the design and development of products, solutions and overall steam turbine system design for combined cycle projects.
