Director Of Engineering

The Director of Engineering is a senior technical and business leader responsible for the development, execution, and continuous improvement of power generation, microgrid, and distributed energy solutions across North America. This role provides strategic leadership for engineering, project development, technical sales support, product integration, and project execution activities involving gas turbine power generation, battery energy storage systems (BESS), emissions-control technologies, and balance-of-plant infrastructure.

Serves as the primary technical authority for complex power-generation projects, including AI and hyperscale data center applications, microgrids, utility support systems, and industrial power solutions. The position requires strong expertise in gas turbine package integration, power plant design, EPC coordination, engineering governance, and commercial support throughout the opportunity lifecycle.

Working closely with executive leadership, customers, OEMs, EPC contractors, developers, utilities, and internal teams, the Director of Engineering drives technical excellence, project success, market growth, and customer satisfaction while ensuring safe, reliable, and cost-effective project delivery.

• Lead and develop multidisciplinary engineering teams supporting power generation, microgrid, energy storage, emissions control, and balance-of-plant projects.
• Establish engineering standards, design procedures, technical review processes, and quality-control practices across the organization.
• Serve as the final technical authority for engineering design reviews, equipment selection, integration strategies, and project execution decisions.
• Ensure engineering deliverables comply with applicable codes, standards, utility requirements, customer specifications, and industry best practices.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on engineering quality, project execution, safety, reliability, and cost optimization.
• Support recruitment, mentoring, performance management, and professional development of engineering personnel.
• Lead the technical development and execution of microgrid and distributed generation projects.
• Direct system-level design and integration of gas turbines, BESS systems, control systems, electrical infrastructure, and balance-of-plant equipment.
• Provide technical leadership for power solutions supporting AI and hyperscale data centers, including high-density load profiles, reliability requirements, resiliency strategies, and rapid deployment schedules.
• Evaluate generation technologies and optimize system architectures based on customer requirements, operating conditions, lifecycle economics, and project objectives.
• Oversee power system studies, equipment integration, plant performance analyses, and reliability assessments.
• Provide strategic technical leadership for projects involving GE, Rolls-Royce, Siemens, Baker Hughes, Solar Turbines, and other OEM power-generation equipment.
• Guide engineering teams in the selection, integration, and deployment of gas turbine generation packages and associated auxiliary systems.
• Review equipment configurations, plant layouts, operating philosophies, and performance guarantees.
• Support lifecycle planning, maintainability evaluations, and operational optimization initiatives.
• Develop technical standards related to packaged generation systems and distributed power applications.
• Lead integration strategies involving Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) within microgrid, peaking, backup generation, and utility-support applications.
• Provide oversight for SCR system design, integration, compliance, and deployment activities.
