Technical Lead – Nuclear Risk-Informed Maintenance Engineering at GE Vernova

Job description

Job Description Summary Join GE Vernova's pioneering Nuclear Risk-Informed Maintenance (RIM) Engineering team and help define the maintenance strategy framework for next-generation reactor technology. As the Technical Lead Engineer for Maintenance Strategy, you will lead the development of risk-informed, condition-based, and time-based maintenance technical bases that support safe, reliable, and economically competitive plant operation across the full asset lifecycle. In this role, you will guide a team of engineers developing Maintenance Strategy Technical Basis Reports, FMEA/RCM analyses, and reliability program content for plant systems, structures, and components. You will ensure the technical basis is sufficiently detailed to support outage planning, online versus outage task determination, equipment criticality evaluation, failure mode fidelity, and integration into digital asset management and work management platforms such as APM and Maximo. Job Description Essential Responsibilities Lead development of maintenance strategies for advanced reactor systems using RCM, FMEA, PRA, operating experience, and engineering judgment. Provide technical direction on time-based, risk-informed, and condition-based maintenance approaches. Develop and manage teamwork plans aligned with 13-week rolling schedules and program priorities. Allocate resources and assign work based on technical complexity, team capability, and development goals. Monitor scope, quality, and on-time delivery of technical work; conduct in-process reviews for consistency and rigor. Ensure maintenance strategy outputs are suitable for implementation in APM, Maximo, and related digital work management systems. Coordinate across design, systems engineering, PRA, I&C, outage planning, operations, procurement, and digital teams. Support technical discussions with customers and stakeholders regarding maintenance philosophy, outage impacts, and strategy assumptions. Serve as a technical escalation point and backup to the manager as needed. Required Qualifications Bachelor's Degree in Nuclear, Mechanical, Electrical, or related Engineering discipline from an accredited college or university. For US/Canada: Minimum 8 years of progressive experience in nuclear maintenance engineering, system design engineering, reliability engineering, PRA, outage planning, asset management, operations, or maintenance strategy development. For Poland: Solid progressive experience in nuclear maintenance engineering, system design engineering, reliability engineering, PRA, outage planning, asset management, operations, or maintenance strategy development. Eligibility Requirements For US: This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. If applicable, final offers will be contingent on ability to obtain authorization for access to U.S. export-controlled information from the U.S. Government. For Canada: GE will only employ those who are legally authorized to work in Canada for this opening. For Canada: This position will report onsite to the Markham office 3 days a week. Desired Qualifications Demonstrated experience developing or applying maintenance strategies for commercial nuclear plant equipment or comparable industrial assets. Demonstrated leadership of technical teams, projects, or workstreams. Ability to obtain required authorization for access to U.S. export-controlled information. Experience with advanced reactor or new-build nuclear programs. Deep understanding of RCM principles and practical application; strong understanding of preventive, predictive, and condition-based maintenance. Experience leading or performing FMEAs with sufficient fidelity for maintenance task development. Familiarity with PRA-informed maintenance optimization and Master Parts Lists/Functional Equipment Groups. Experience with APM, CMMS/EAM, or digital work management systems (Maximo preferred). Familiarity with outage planning, recurring maintenance window development, and online versus outa
