Siemens Energy

A Snapshot of Your Day

As a Project Engineer-Nuclear Uprate, you will play a pivotal role in delivering complex steam turbine modifications that enhance nuclear plant uprates and long-term performance. This position is highly collaborative and customer-facing, making it ideal for engineers who thrive on transforming detailed designs into successful field execution. You will engage directly with nuclear generation customers to review technical scopes, align project requirements, and ensure that our solutions not only meet contractual commitments but also exceed expectations. Internally, you will work closely with design engineering, project management, and manufacturing teams to bridge the gap between engineering intent and real-world execution.

A key aspect of your role will involve translating design engineering outputs and approved turbine modification details into safe, efficient, and effective field execution strategies. This includes evaluating installation methods, identifying potential risks, resolving execution challenges, and ensuring compliance with nuclear quality, safety, and regulatory standards. Throughout your day, you will balance technical rigor with practical problem-solving by reviewing engineering documentation, participating in cross-functional planning meetings, and supporting field execution decisions. If you are driven by complex engineering challenges and cross-functional teamwork, this role offers a unique opportunity to grow your expertise while contributing to impactful, high-visibility projects in the nuclear energy sector.

How You’ll Make an Impact:

• Support the successful delivery of complex nuclear uprate projects across engineering, manufacturing, and project execution.
• Provide technical and project oversight for upgraded nuclear power plant equipment, including Low Pressure Turbines, High Pressure Turbines, Generators, Exciters, and related systems.
• Plan, schedule, and participate in regular project reviews, including factory testing, factory visits, and customer witness points to ensure quality, schedule adherence, and contractual compliance.
• Monitor engineering, manufacturing, and erection/commissioning milestones for assigned uprate contracts, proactively identifying risks and driving resolution.
• Partner closely with the SEI Major Projects Group Project Manager to coordinate engineering deliverables, manufacturing activities, and overall project execution.
• Support and coordinate retained components studies with engineering, project management, and implementation teams to ensure equipment outside the uprate contract scope is fully evaluated and not overlooked.
• Develop training materials and lead technical training sessions to prepare the Nuclear organization for the execution of complex uprate projects.
• Help drive innovation and continuous improvement, supporting solutions from concept development through implementation to enhance project outcomes and customer satisfaction.
