About the role

OUC - The Reliable One is presently seeking a Combined Cycle Power Generation Engineer to join the Engineering & Operations team. We are looking for a technically strong, results-driven professional to provide engineering and project management support for Power Plant Operations and Maintenance (O&M) ensuring safe, efficient, reliable generation while leading plant modification and improvement projects.

Responsibilities

• Develop and write technical specifications and scope for plant projects, maintain project budgets, assist Purchasing with Request for Proposals (RFP’s) and provide engineering evaluation for bid documents.
• Provide technical support for O&M; review plant data to ensure accurate, safe and efficient generation.
• Supervise plant modifications, improvements, and OUC craft labor and contractors during all project phases.
• Write and develop technical specifications for plant projects.
• Aid Purchasing with RFPs, bid documents, vendor evaluations and negotiations.
• Prepare justification of plant projects based on criteria such as safety, environmental, changes in technology, economic analysis, and efficiency improvements.
• Review and implement plans, drawings, specifications, safety procedures and Lock Out / Tag Out (LOTO) requirements, schedules, update equipment manuals, review and maintain inventory levels, billing and invoices and contractual performance and manage contracts regarding technical and commercial aspects.
• Inspect fluid analysis test results, Non-Destructive Examination tests, vibrations tests, emission, boiler and scrubber chemistry, etc. to ensure best practices are current on equipment conditions.
• Troubleshoot plant processes to identify root cause and repair process.
• Generate budget proposals and justifications for management and the Capital Review Committee when necessary.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
