The Turbine Systems Engineering Manager leads the design, analysis, implementation, and optimization of turbine systems—including steam, gas, hydro, and pump-turbines—used in energy generation and recovery applications. This role is responsible for the engineering integrity and performance of turbine systems throughout their lifecycle, from concept through commissioning and ongoing operation. The manager collaborates with multidisciplinary teams to deliver high-efficiency, reliable, and compliant turbine systems across utility and industrial platforms.
Lead the design and specification of turbine systems for power generation, energy recovery, or mechanical drive applications.
Oversee engineering studies including thermodynamic modeling, flow analysis, structural integrity, and rotor dynamics.
Manage engineering scope for turbine-related projects including upgrades, retrofits, and new installations.
Coordinate with procurement, construction, and commissioning teams to ensure technical compliance and schedule adherence.
Analyze operational data to assess turbine efficiency, capacity, and reliability.
Identify and implement engineering solutions to reduce energy losses, extend equipment life, and enhance output.
Provide technical guidance for troubleshooting, failure analysis, and root cause evaluations.
Collaborate with maintenance teams on predictive strategies such as vibration monitoring, oil analysis, and blade inspections.
Ensure all turbine systems comply with relevant codes (API, ASME, ISO), environmental regulations, and safety protocols.
Maintain detailed technical documentation including design records, inspection reports, and engineering change notices.
Lead a team of turbine engineers and analysts; mentor junior staff and promote technical growth.
Support cross-functional collaboration with electrical, civil, and controls engineering teams.
