Job Description Summary

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.
• Mentorship: Act as a formal mentor for junior and mid-level engineers. Conduct technical peer reviews, foster a culture of rigorous problem-solving, and share specialized knowledge to build a high-performing technical team.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial or Mechanical Engineering or related discipline; Advanced degree (MS/PhD) preferred.
• Strong and proven experience in wind turbine mechanical or structural engineering, hub mechanical and structural systems, fleet performance, or advanced services engineering.
• Solid understanding of wind turbine generator technology GE onshore & offshore and Alstom WTGs.
• Deep expertise in turbine thermodynamics, rotor dynamics, or thermal-mechanical fatigue and how these factors impact long-term fleet operation.
• Demonstrated mastery in conducting formal Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and applying reliability engineering principles.
• Proven track record of influencing cross-functional teams and stakeholders without direct management authority.
• Ability to translate complex technical data into executive-level recommendations and customer-facing communications. 

Preferred Qualifications

• Significant experience with wind turbine onshore & offshore design loads, fleet performance monitoring tools and big-data analytics.
• In-depth knowledge of maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) processes as they relate to wind turbine components life cycle.
• Experience representing the company as a technical lead in customer-facing resolution meetings for high-impact fleet events.
• Published internal/external technical papers or patents related to turbine reliability or mechanical performance.
• Proven ability to work in a cross-functional and global environment, remote teams, strong team player
• Teamwork, motivation and continuous improvement mind-set
• Traveling time availability as part of this role
