Job Description Summary

GE Vernova’s Gas Power Engineering organization is building the next generation of technical capability across a global workforce. The Technical Learning Office sits at the center of that mission, shaping how engineers are onboarded, developed, and enabled to contribute quickly and effectively. How fast new engineers become productive, how consistently teams develop talent across regions, how training scales in a complex global environment, and how leadership measures readiness and impact all depend on the operational systems this role will build and own.

We are seeking an Onboarding & Training Operations Lead to take full ownership of the engineer onboarding journey and the training operations engine that powers the organization. This is not a coordination-only role. It is a highly visible operational leadership opportunity for someone who thrives on building structure, driving execution, influencing across functions, and continuously improving critical talent systems. It is also a strong path into broader leadership within GE Vernova, with direct exposure to senior stakeholders, enterprise-level operating mechanisms, and clear growth trajectories into senior operations, program strategy, learning transformation, or Lean/continuous improvement leadership.

If you are the kind of person who sees ambiguity as an opportunity, creates order from complexity, and wants to own a function that directly impacts engineering productivity, retention, and organizational scale, this role is for you.

The required work location is Greenville, SC or Schenectady, NY (relocation assistance provided if not already local).
