Senior Mechanical Engineer – Power Generation

Description

You will support plants both remotely and onsite statewide, leading outage-related projects, developing engineering scopes, resolving equipment failures, and designing solutions across mechanical, piping, structural, and thermal systems.

This role blends technical design, thermodynamic and fluid modelling, project oversight, and field-based engineering, all focused on improving reliability, efficiency, and long-term fleet performance.

• Conduct field investigations of existing facilities to support design and project scoping.
• Perform root cause analysis (RCA) on equipment and auxiliary system failures; prepare technical specifications for maintenance, repairs, and upgrades.
• Estimate and budget plant upgrades and modifications (Class 4 estimates, ~15% design known).
• Model, design, and engineer solutions using mechanical, thermodynamic, fluid, piping, and structural engineering principles.
• Monitor project progress, scope, and budget; collaborate with plant teams to resolve delays or variances.
• Lead outage planning, equipment repairs, and reliability/efficiency improvement projects.
• Lead mechanical/industrial engineering design and project execution across Florida power plants (remote + onsite).
• Develop detailed scopes for procurement and outsourcing aligned with outage schedules and lead times.

Requirements

This role is ideal for a senior engineer who thrives in complex environments, manages overlapping projects with ease, and is equally comfortable doing CAD/FEA/CFD design work and boots-on-the-ground plant investigations.

• Skilled with maintenance management systems, advanced project tracking
• Proficiency in CAD design and engineering modelling tools (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, FEA, CFD).
• Strong understanding of thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, stress analysis, piping design, and structural interfaces.
• Experience in outage planning, design development, and project engineering.
• Ability to coordinate contractors and work safely in industrial settings including confined spaces and elevated areas.
• Strong experience in natural gas–fired plant design, construction, operations, and major equipment systems (GT/ST, boilers, auxiliaries).
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (required).
• Proficiency in CAD tools (SolidWorks, AutoCAD) and engineering analysis tools (FEA, CFD).
• 10+ years of experience in the power generation industry, including direct exposure to operations, maintenance, contractors, or heavy industrial environments.
• Deep knowledge of mechanical engineering fundamentals and turbomachinery.
• Extensive experience with steam/gas turbines, auxiliaries, O&M practices, RCA, and MOC processes.
