• Strong ability to:

o Read electrical schematics/drawings

o Solve complex engineering problems independently

o Review design documents and evaluate technical options

o Communicate technical decisions clearly

- Experience leading multiple projects and communicate effectively with stakeholders

Nice to Have Skills & Experience:

• Experience in steam plants, district energy, or power generation

• P.E. license (or progress toward one)

• Experience with system upgrades, equipment replacement projects, or vendor design review

• Experience presenting to regulators or senior leadership

Job Description:

The Senior Engineer is the technical authority for steam plant systems. They evaluate equipment issues, make engineering decisions, support capital projects, and ensure safe, reliable, compliant plant operation. This role requires someone who can independently analyze technical problems and clearly justify recommendations.

Key Responsibilities:

Engineering Ownership

• Serve as the technical decision maker for plant systems and equipment

• Evaluate failures, recommend repair/replace/modify solutions

• Review engineering analyses, vendor drawings, specifications, and bid packages

• Provide engineering direction for capital projects and system upgrades

System Support

• Apply mechanical/electrical engineering skills to boilers, turbines, pumps, and high pressure steam systems

• Read and interpret electrical and mechanical schematics

• Ensure compliance with codes, standards, and regulatory requirements

Cross Functional Work

• Partner with Operations, Maintenance, PMs, and contractors

• Support troubleshooting, outages, inspections, and system modifications

• Communicate technical recommendations clearly to mixed audiences

Regulatory & Documentation

• Support audits, inspections, and regulatory interactions

• Maintain engineering documentation and technical justifications
