Siemens Energy

A Snapshot of Your Day

You will spend your days investigating advisable requirements and validating the current flame detectors used in Gas Turbine applications. You prepare concepts and specify detailed requirements for flame detectors, ensuring these meet the necessary standards and application needs. Throughout the day, you conduct in-depth investigations of third-party test procedures, evaluating their applicability to specific configurations. This includes considering factors such as background heat, short distances, fuel types, and other combustible materials used in Gas Turbine applications. You then compile your findings and prepare reports or presentations to share insights and recommendations with the team, ensuring all aspects of the investigation are thoroughly documented and communicated.
