About the role

Job Description Summary

The need for clean energy is greater than ever. At GE Vernova Hitachi (GEVH) we are helping address climate change by designing technology to power our future with reliable, affordable, carbon-free energy. We are a world leader in advanced reactor technology, fuel and services. Join us as we build our legacy, boldly innovating to provide carbon-free power to the world.

We are a diverse and dedicated global team who believes in the value of your unique identity, background, and experiences. We are committed to fostering an inclusive culture, where everyone feels empowered to do their best work because they feel accepted, respected, and that they belong. By embracing diverse teams and perspectives, we are better equipped to build a world that works.

Senior Discipline Engineers will be part of a multi-discipline technical team of dedicated engineers and scientists responsible for the application of GEH new plant technology (e.g. BWRX-300 Standard Plant) to each prospective customer site, including comprehensive engineering input to the development of new plant proposals, early works agreements and new product offerings.

In this position, the Civil Structural Senior Discipline Engineer will be responsible for determining how standard plant design will meet application specific requirements, codes, and standards while incorporating new product modifications. Leveraging your subject matter expertise in the civil-structural engineering discipline, you will focus on providing detailed statements of work for current and subsequent project phases, proposal technical write-ups, engineering estimates, schedule development and risk assessments in support of site selection, site permitting, and construction/operation licensing milestones. The result of the Senior Discipline Engineer’s design planning is a comprehensive engineering solution that can be efficiently executed by design teams.

When necessary, you will coordinate with functional managers within the engineering organization on departures from standard products to produce estimated costs, cycles and risks for new plant opportunities. In addition, you will be responsible for on-time and on-budget delivery of early works projects and new product developments, while partnering with internal and external technical teams supporting proposal and/or early works projects.
