Job Description

The Senior Aero Services ITR Engineer serves as the primary engineering focal point and ITO (Inquiry to Order) leader for the Latin America (LATAM) region, while simultaneously acting as a Global Quality Lead for the ITR organization. This role leads the development and execution of bid strategy, equipment offerings, and high-complexity technical proposals for conversion, modification, and upgrades (CM&U) to GE Vernova’s aeroderivative installed fleet. While primarily focused on driving growth within LATAM, the role maintains the agility to pivot technical oversight to other regions as global business needs require.

Roles and Responsibilities

Regional Leadership & Global Agility

• Regional Focal Point: Act as the recognized senior technical expert for LATAM, providing engineering leadership to local Sales and Commercial teams to drive CM&U growth.
• Business Agility: Maintain a global perspective on aeroderivative fleet needs; adapt and reallocate engineering focus to support critical surges or high-priority technical requirements in regions outside of LATAM as business conditions evolve.
• Strategic Influence: Represent the company in regional customer forums and industry conferences, serving as the technical face of GE Vernova for the LATAM market and beyond.

Strategic ITO & Proposal Leadership

• Own the quality, accuracy, and on-time delivery of complex technical proposals, ensuring seamless alignment with unit configurations, regional customer requirements, and commercial quoting limits.
• Drive bid strategy in partnership with Sales to identify market opportunities, lead customer engagements, and provide high-level technical responses that differentiate GE Vernova solutions globally.
• Shape the future of CM&U offerings by tracking industry, technology, and regulatory trends; translate these insights into actionable product strategies for regional deployment.
• Develop and socialize advanced sales enablement tools — including standardized handbooks and technical value propositions — to drive regional responsiveness and efficiency.

Technical Oversight & Governance

• Provide senior-level technical guidance on CM&U scope, acting as the primary engineering focal point for internal stakeholders and external customers.
• Ensure full compliance with GE Vernova policies, international engineering codes, safety standards, and regional grid interconnection requirements.

Mentorship & Influence

• Provide technical and leadership coaching to junior engineering staff; foster a culture of knowledge sharing and collaboration within the global matrix organization.

Global Quality Leadership & Process Innovation

• Global Quality Focal: Serve as the lead authority for Services ITR engineering quality, establishing and maintaining rigorous technical standards for the global CM&U engineering organization.
• Standard Work & Lean Roadmap: Lead the development and execution of the team’s Lean roadmap; drive the systematic optimization of standard work to reduce cycle times and eliminate waste across the ITR process.
• Digital Transformation & AI Integration: Spearhead the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced digital tools into existing engineering processes and proposal development workflows to increase accuracy, efficiency, and competitiveness.
• Continuous Improvement: Champion a "Quality First" culture by analyzing project feedback and operational metrics to drive institutionalized process improvements

Required Qualifications

• 12+ years of relevant engineering experience.
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering from an accredited university.
• Demonstrated knowledge in electrical and/or mechanical systems for aeroderivative gas turbine packaging.
• Proven ability to drive large-scale proposals and manage multi-disciplinary stakeholders across geographic boundaries.
• Willing and able to travel domestically and internationally.

Desired Characteristics

• Master’s degree in Engineering or MBA.
• In-depth knowledge of Aeroderivative products and CM&U life-cycle management.
• Advanced experience in developing Lean processes and operational standards.
• Proven track record in global matrix leadership; ability to influence cross-functional teams in diverse cultural and regulatory environments.
• Demonstrated experience in implementing digital/AI tools within engineering or technical sales environments.
