Job Description

Summary Site Methods Engineer

The Site Methods Engineer is responsible for the end-to-end development of site erection procedures, Complex Lifting Plans (CLPs), and inspection documentation for Hydro components. You will champion a safety-first culture, ensuring all technical deliverables comply with GE Vernova standards, client requirements, and applicable international/local legislation

Key Responsibilities

• Technical Documentation & Compliance Management

Preparation & Review

• Own the end-to-end creation of project-specific erection/dismantling procedures, inspection sheets, and Complex Lifting Plans (CLPs). Ensure these align with contractual obligations, engineering synopses, and transportation logistics.

Quality & Standards

• Act as the primary gatekeeper for technical compliance. This includes validating contractor/vendor submissions, ensuring alignment with GE Vernova’s internal governance (e.g., Corella, PDM/PLM), and managing the timely closure of document review cycles.

Measurement & Control

• Develop inspection plans that define clear measurement points and acceptance criteria. Apply expert knowledge of metrology, dimensional control, and geometric verification to ensure equipment alignment and assembly accuracy.
• EHS & Safety Culture Integration

Proactive EHS Design

• Integrate safety into the conceptual phase. Actively participate in Design Reviews (DR) and synopsis reviews to identify risks before site mobilization, ensuring equipment design is compatible with safe installation methods.

Safety-First Execution

• Promote a safety-first culture by ensuring every method statement and lifting plan is not only compliant but also "user-friendly" and practical for site personnel.

Incident Prevention

• Maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward EHS compromises. Regularly audit site activities to identify non-compliances, promptly reporting all risks or deviations to the Site Methods Leader and Project Manager to prevent Lost Time Incidents (LTI).
• Technical Collaboration & Stakeholder Support

Engineering & Supply Chain Liaison

• Provide technical expertise to the Supply Chain team through document reviews, supplier visits, and participation in technical clarification meetings. Support Engineering teams by providing real-world installation feedback to optimize design for manufacturability and assembly.

Operational Feedback Loop

• Serve as the technical bridge between site teams and the broader organization.

Coordinate with Construction & Commissioning (C&C) Experts to capture "lessons learned" and technical deviations, ensuring this intelligence is updated in internal knowledge databases (e.g., Confluence) to improve future project performance.

On-Site Technical Authority

• Act as the technical point of contact during site execution. Conduct site visits to resolve complex issues, provide hands-on guidance to installation teams, and assist in Non-Conformance Report (NCR) reviews where methods-related processes are involved

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (preferred) or a Technical. Diploma in a related discipline.

Experience

• Minimum 5 years in methods engineering or site engineering within the Hydro or heavy power generation sector.

Technical Proficiency

• Expertise in rotating equipment assembly (Turbine, Generator, MIV, HM, BOP). Strong knowledge of heavy-component lifting, rigging, and applicable safety regulations (e.g., Factories Act 1948, BIS, International standards). Familiarity with metrology, dimensional control, site machining, and welding techniques.

Tools

• Proficient in MS Office; technical proficiency in CAD software (Siemens NX or AutoCAD) is a strong asset.

Safety Leadership

• Unwavering commitment to EHS; zero tolerance for compromises on safety under pressure.

Communication

• Excellent English (written/spoken). Ability to interface effectively with multicultural/multidisciplinary teams.

Adaptability

• Proven ability to work independently, manage complex problem-solving, and travel to international/domestic project sites.

Ethics

• High level of professional integrity and accountability in all business dealings Additional Information Relocation Assistance Provided: No
