GE Vernova

GE Vernova is an American energy company created in April 2024 when General Electric split into three, taking the power, wind and electrification businesses. It builds and services gas turbines that generate a substantial share of the world's electricity, onshore and offshore wind turbines, grid equipment including transformers and high-voltage transmission, and nuclear technology through GE Hitachi and its BWRX-300 small modular reactor. Headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the company sits at the centre of two simultaneous demand shocks: the electrification of transport and industry, and the electricity requirements of large-scale artificial intelligence data centres.

Job Description Summary

We are seeking an entry-level Chemical Engineer to join our team, focusing on project execution for new units, including dosing/sampling systems, water/wastewater treatment plants, and CEMS. You will also contribute to new technology introduction (NPI/NTI) initiatives, such as carbon capture and new WSC designs and site support activities. This role requires occasional site travel for inspections/commissioning and on-demand chemical analysis at our Birr, CH laboratory.

Job Description

Essential Functions/Responsibilities

Safety & Culture: Prioritize safety and compliance while fostering a proactive, inclusive "one GEV" team environment.
Design & Development: Execute engineering calculations and documentation. Support the design of water/steam cycle (WSC) systems-including Dosing, Sampling, CEMS, and WTP-balancing cost, performance, and reliability.
AI & Innovation: Proactively leverage AI tools and digital solutions to drive process improvements, accelerate new technology development, and enhance overall work efficiency.
Standardization: Apply lean engineering processes and contribute to component harmonization across the portfolio.
Project Execution: Manage system requirements, drawings, and functional specifications. Ensure 100% quality and on-time delivery for all project documentation.
Site & Lab Support: Conduct on-site inspections/commissioning and perform lab-based chemical analyses, providing detailed reports for internal and external customers.
