Fleet Thermal Engineer

Role and Key Responsibilities

• Lead and take ownership of the Fleet Boiler Program, including inspection planning, performance monitoring, and tracking of boiler tube failures and corrective actions.
• Work with plant personnel to ensure the fleet boiler program and appropriate procedures are being followed accordingly.
• Serve as subject matter expert for fleet Boilers, HRSGs, High Energy Piping systems, Condensers, Heat Exchangers, and related steam cycle equipment.
• Support Balance of Plant equipment beyond the boiler, assisting with performance assessment, troubleshooting, and reliability improvement initiatives.
• Investigate and support resolution of boiler-related operational challenges including tube leaks, fouling, overheating, and thermal stress conditions.
• Support inspection, reliability assessment, and life management of High Energy Piping (HEP) systems, including evaluation of creep damage, thermal fatigue, and stress-related degradation mechanisms.
• Analyze plant operational data to identify thermal performance trends and recommend improvements to maintain efficiency and reliability of steam cycle equipment.
• Support root cause analysis (RCA) for thermal, steam cycle, condenser, cooling tower, ACC, and related BOP system events within the thermal discipline, and develop corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
• Provide engineering support during planned and forced outages, including scope development, repair recommendations, and review of inspection findings.
• Review vendor reports, inspection data, and technical documentation to support equipment reliability and lifecycle management.
• Provide general engineering support for Balance of Plant (BOP) systems associated with the steam cycle, assisting with performance evaluations, troubleshooting, and reliability improvements.
• Collaborate with operations, maintenance, and fleet engineering teams to implement engineering solutions and support continuous improvement initiatives.

Professional Requirements

• Minimum 7 years of relevant engineering experience in the power generation industry, with 10+ years preferred.
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering preferred; Electrical, Industrial, or related Engineering may be considered with relevant thermal and steam cycle experience.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license is preferred but not required.
• Demonstrated experience with boilers or HRSGs, high energy piping, condenser performance, steam cycle systems, outage support, and reliability improvement programs in utility, power generation, or comparable industrial environments.
• Self-starter and motivated individual who takes initiative and demonstrates full ownership of activities required to fulfill the role.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities across fleet sites.
• Ability to work collaboratively with plant personnel, engineering, and operations leadership to find practical solutions to problems encountered.
