As a Lead Project Management Engineer at GE Vernova Gas Power, you'll own end-to-end delivery of aftermarket upgrade projects across some of the most sophisticated equipment in the power industry, including Industrial Heavy Duty Gas Turbines, Aeroderivative Gas Turbines, Steam Turbines, Generators, Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSGs), and balance-of-plant systems.
This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of accountability and collaboration — someone who can lead cross-functional teams, navigate complexity, and keep both the customer and the business moving in the same direction.Job Description
