Job Description Summary

The Senior Fleet Engineer Hub & Mechanical system serves as the technical authority for fleet performance, responsible for resolving the most complex, mission-critical turbine performance issues. You will lead high-level technical investigations, define troubleshooting methodologies, and influence the long-term reliability of the turbine fleet Onshore & Offshore.

This role operates at the intersection of field operations, system design, and services, acting as the primary subject matter expert for fleet-wide mechanical performance.

Job Description

Key Responsibilities

  • High-Complexity Issue Resolution: Take ownership of the most challenging technical escalations. Provide definitive troubleshooting strategies and engineering solutions that balance immediate resolution with long-term fleet health.
  • Systemic Architectural Influence: Evaluate turbine subsystem interactions from a holistic perspective. Provide technical guidance on design modifications or operational changes that impact fleet-wide performance and reliability.
  • Advanced Root Cause Analysis T&Ts (RCAs): Lead complex RCAs for systemic fleet issues. Develop and validate hypotheses using data, modeling, and physical evidence; present findings and mitigation strategies to senior stakeholders and customers.
  • Technical Strategy & Methodology: Define and refine the technical standards for troubleshooting and case resolution. Author technical bulletins, playbooks, and best-practice guides to elevate the technical capabilities of the broader engineering organization.
  • Strategic Fleet Oversight: Analyze fleet performance data to forecast reliability trends. Proactively identify emerging risks before they manifest as fleet-wide outages or performance degradation.
  • Cross-Functional Technical Leadership: Serve as the lead technical point of contact for Product Engineering and R&D teams, ensuring that field performance insights directly inform future turbine design and service offerings.
