• Strong technical writing skills with demonstrated ability to make the author clear, structured process documentation, job aids, checklists, and work instructions.

Desired Characteristics

• Demonstrated experience with Gas Turbine, Steam Turbine or DCS Controls environments, including familiarity with milestone-based software execution processes (Alpha, Integration, Comm SW, Charlie, First Fire).
• Demonstrated experience applying Lean methodologies in an engineering or manufacturing environment, including VSM, PSR, Gemba, Kaizen, and root cause analysis tools such as 3x5 Why.
• Familiarity with Confluence (or equivalent engineering knowledge management platforms) and CLM (or equivalent test management/checklist platforms).
• Experience with GE Vernova tools and platforms, including ControlST, AVEVA (IO tools), ACME, Mark Vie, PLM and CLM.
• Experience working in a globally matrixed environment with strong collaboration and cross-functional influence skills.
• Knowledge of agile execution methodologies and experience structuring engineering work as user stories or checklist-based tasks.
• Lean certification (Lean Six Sigma Green Belt or higher, or equivalent GE Vernova Lean training) is strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to independently drive projects to completion with minimal oversight, with a bias for action and continuous improvement.
