Job description

Own the Reliability That Powers the Energy Transition

When a critical CNC cell halts in the Steam Turbine area, production—and the grid—feel it. You arrive, align with maintenance supervisors, and lead a rapid root cause dive across controls, mechanics, and process interfaces. You engage an external integrator, specify components, and author the purchase requisition. Before the fix is live, you’ve already mapped a proactive maintenance plan and a lifecycle cost case to prevent recurrence. That’s the kind of leadership we’re seeking in our 24/7 turbine manufacturing and repair facility.

Your Mission

• Be the go-to expert for CNC machinery, spin-balance facilities, and process equipment—diagnosing issues quickly and restoring capability.
• Individually lead cross-functional projects that integrate outside vendors to boost equipment performance and reliability.
• Develop data-driven recommendations on repair, replacement, or upgrade based on condition, lifecycle economics, and operational impact.
• Implement proactive maintenance strategies on critical assets to cut risk and downtime.
• Keep operations synchronized: communicate turnover responsibilities, brief managers and internal customers, and coordinate across shifts.
• Prepare precise specifications and purchase requisitions, ensuring the right parts and systems are identified and sourced.
• Expand and steward vendor partnerships for project integration and service repairs; manage existing facility service providers.
• Champion continuous learning by sharing new methodologies and recommending fresh integration initiatives; provide occasional call-in support for off-shifts.

Profile We’re Looking For

• Preferred education: AAS or BS in Mechanical/Electrical Engineering or related discipline; equivalent combinations of experience, education, and certifications considered.
• At least 10 years in manufacturing with strong CNC, PLC, and process equipment expertise; highly experienced candidates may be placed at a higher salary grade.
• Demonstrated root cause analysis ability; AutoCAD or Siemens NX drafting experience is a plus.
• Professional English, excellent people skills, and the presence to present effectively at all organizational levels.
• Willing to travel up to 10% within the U.S. and internationally.
