Technical Specialist - Lead (Turbine)

BHE GT&S has an exciting career opportunity as a Technical Specialist Lead (Turbine) at our Cove Point facility located in Lusby, MD.

The Technical Specialist Lead (Turbine) reports to the Manager-LNG Operations (Maintenance) and is a member of multi-disciplined team responsible for the safe, compliant and reliable operation and maintenance of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import/export and re-gasification terminal combustion turbines and steam turbines including LNG process system infrastructure, power/steam generation rotating machinery and auxiliary support systems. 

The Technical Specialist Lead (Turbine) provides advanced turbine mechanical maintenance technical expertise, technical oversight, and hands-on leadership for all turbine maintenance activities performed at the facility. This role serves as the turbine subject matter expert (SME) for combustion turbines, steam turbines and associated turbine equipment typically found in large-scale industrial environments such as LNG terminals, power generation facilities, chemical and petrochemical plants, manufacturing operations, NGL processing facilities, cryogenic natural gas processing plants, and other hydrocarbon facilities.

The Technical Specialist Lead (Turbine) applies deep mechanical knowledge and significant, relevant turbine experience to independently execute and guide others through the most complex turbine maintenance, troubleshooting, inspections, and repairs. The position leads mechanical technical work in the field, ensuring safe execution, configuration‑compliant maintenance practices, and high‑reliability operation of turbine assets.

This position also supports turbine outage planning and execution by contributing to both planned and forced outages, turnarounds, and major overhauls in supporting outage scope development, work sequencing, and execution strategies, as well as developing detailed work plans, schedules, and resource requirements. It also includes reviewing outage work packages, contractor proposals, parts list and technical documentation to ensure work is technically sound, properly scoped, and executed to high maintenance and reliability standards.

The successful candidate must be willing to work in an industrial environment and will be responsible for the mechanical reliability of the facility’s turbines while ensuring the facility operates in full compliance with site, company, local, state, and federal policies, regulations, and procedures while also supporting continuous improvement, reliability initiatives, and cross-functional coordination. A strong commitment to safety and adherence to established protocols is essential to maintain the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of the terminal.

Duties and Responsibilities: 

• Perform all activities with emphasis on a proactive and preventative maintenance approach based on industry’s best practices, manufacturer recommendations, and regulatory requirements to include but not limited to: FERC, PHMSA, NFPA, USCG, DOT, MDOL, MDE and EPA.
• Recognizes the safety, environmental and facility reliability consequences of actions taken maintaining the highest levels of safety and environmental compliance.
• Provide technical guidance in the creation and implementation of turbine mechanical maintenance policies, procedures, condition-based assessments, maintenance plans, and work methods for multi-skilled maintenance teams.
• Provide technical guidance and leadership to the operations and maintenance teams (internal and contractor) in the operation, maintenance, and repair of facility turbines.  
• Provide technical guidance in troubleshooting and repair activities of turbine and turbine auxiliary equipment including but not limited to fans, pumps and motors.
• Provide technical input for turbine maintenance planning, prioritization, and execution, including review of parts lists, drawings, procedures, and technical documentation.
• Provide technical guidance in the creation and implementation of turbine mechanical maintenance policies, procedures, condition-based assessments, maintenance plans, and work methods for multi-skilled maintenance teams.
• Conduct turbine equipment failure investigations and root causes analysis (RCA) recommending and implementing corrective actions to improve equipment reliability.
• Identify systemic turbine reliability issues and develop corrective and preventive actions to eliminate repeat failures and improve equipment availability.
• Support turbine long‑term maintenance and asset lifecycle planning through condition assessments, remaining‑life evaluations, and failure analysis to drive continuous improv
