About the role

We are seeking a senior gas‑turbine engineer to act as the main technical authority on our Open Cycle Gas Turbine (OCGT) repackaging and refurbishment projects. You will own technical assurance of the packager’s scope for refurbished GE Frame 6B units, lead design and documentation reviews, drive root‑cause resolution of defects, witness factory and site acceptance testing, and provide gas‑turbine engineering direction to the OCGT project‑engineering stream and the wider engineering team.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and maintain a technical assurance plan and compliance matrix mapping US client requirements and applicable codes (ASME, ANSI, API, NFPA/NEC, UL, EPA emissions, IEEE) to the packager’s scope.
• Review, comment on and approve the packager’s design deliverables, drawings and documentation, managing comment cycles to closure.
• Lead 8D root‑cause investigations on non‑conformances and drive corrective and preventive actions with the packager and sub‑vendors.
• Plan and witness Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) at the packager and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) / commissioning at the project site, owning release‑to‑ship and punch‑list closure.
• Serve as senior engineering interface to the US client, providing structured assurance reporting and non‑conformance status.
• Mentor and transfer gas‑turbine knowledge to OCGT project engineers and the wider mechanical team.

Required profile

• 10+ years of gas‑turbine engineering experience, including refurbishment, repackaging or through‑life support of GE Frame 6B or similar industrial turbines.
• Proven senior technical authority on gas‑turbine hardware such as compressors, casings and rotating equipment.
• Experience working with third‑party packagers and OEMs, preferably with international vendors (e.g., China‑based facilities).
• Strong knowledge of US codes and standards (ASME, ANSI, API, NFPA/NEC, UL, EPA emissions, IEEE grid‑interconnection).
• Demonstrated ability to lead 8D root‑cause investigations and drive corrective actions.
• Chartered Engineer status (CEng via IMechE) or active ECSA registration is desirable.
• Willingness to travel internationally to China and the USA as required.

Required skills

• Gas turbine engineering
• GE Frame 6B turbine knowledge
• ASME, ANSI, API, NFPA/NEC, UL standards
