Job Description Summary

The Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) Application Engineer owns global, project-specific proposal activity to drive consistent functional specifications and standardized workflow processes for outsourced HRSG scopes. This role requires a strong understanding of gas turbine combined cycle power plant applications — including HRSG and water-steam cycle application engineering — with the ability to translate plant-level requirements into detailed functional specifications that enable qualified HRSG vendors to bid, design, and build to GE Vernova standards.

This individual will also own application engineering for the Hot Selective Catalytic Reduction (Hot SCR) system, ensuring seamless integration with overall plant performance requirements. In this capacity, the engineer is responsible for thoroughly understanding all Hot SCR project requirements to ensure conformance and satisfaction of customer and plant performance expectations. This role directly impacts the project team's ability to meet service, quality, and timeliness objectives, and operates within defined policy guidelines while exercising a high degree of operational judgment and moderate autonomy to drive outcomes.
