Engineering Manager - Electrical and I&C Systems

Job Description Summary

The need for clean energy is greater than ever. At GE Vernova-Hitachi (GVH) we design technology to power our future with reliable, affordable, carbon-free energy. We are a world leader in advanced reactor technology, fuel and services. Join us as we build our legacy, boldly innovating to provide carbon-free power to the world.

We are a diverse and dedicated global team who values your unique identity, background, and experiences. We are committed to fostering an inclusive culture where everyone can do their best work because they feel accepted, respected, and that they belong. By embracing diverse teams and perspectives, we are better equipped to build a world that works.

The Engineering Manager of Electrical and I&C Systems for site applications will lead a multi-discipline technical team of engineers and scientists responsible for the application of GEH new plant technology (e.g., BWRX-300 Standard Plant) to prospective customer sites, including engineering input to the development of new plant proposals, early works agreements and new product offerings.

In this position, you will lead the critical effort of gap analysis of the full spectrum of electrical systems and I&C systems, and adapt them for new and prospective customers. This is a high impact role at the intersection of design engineering and commercial advancement, charting how our technology integrates with the world. Your team will support the development of detailed statements of work for current and subsequent project phases, proposal technical write-ups, engineering estimates, schedule development and risk assessments in support of site selection, site permitting, and construction/operation licensing milestones.

Essential Responsibilities:

• Team Leadership: Build and mentor a multidisciplinary team of Electrical and I&C engineers, promoting a culture of nuclear safety, technical excellence, and project accountability.
• Design Integration & Adaptation: Oversee evaluation of standard plant design against site-specific requirements, including reconciliation of design with customer needs and local site conditions (e.g., grid frequency, ambient temperatures, seismic data).
• Regulatory & Code Compliance: Lead the team in mapping standard designs to local codes and standards (e.g., IEEE, IEC, NRC, or country-specific equivalents) and ensure all I&C architecture meets local licensing requirements.
• Technical Oversight: Approve site-specific modifications to electrical systems, control logic, and human-machine interface (HMI) requirements.
• Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary point of contact for new customers and local regulators regarding Electrical and I&C system design and compliance.
• Contribute to an engineering team that assures proposals and early works packages for selected sites are compatible with our standard product offering.
• Establish and maintain strong working relationships with internal engineering teams.
• Interface with external partners, customers, and country-specific regulatory agencies as required on technical issues.
• Work with proposal and early works teams to build estimates, schedules, and identify risks associated with different opportunities.
• Provide guidance to external partner engineering resources to ensure the quality of deliverables.
• Support commercial and marketing opportunities to develop new business opportunities.
• Protect the Intellectual Property rights of GEVH.
• Support GEVH initiatives, corrective action, process improvement and simplification.
• Ensure adherence to GEVH’s standards for nuclear safety and compliance.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, I&C Engineering, or related discipline.
• At least 10 years of progressive experience in electric power systems engineering.
• At least 5 years of experience in the nuclear industry or equivalent large-scale new build experience in the power generation industry.
• At least 3 years of proven experience managing and directing an engineering team of 10-20 persons.

Eligibility Requirements:

• The preferred work location for this role is at the GEH Headquarters Wilmington, NC but highly qualified remote candidates will be considered.
• This role may require 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.

Desired

Qualifications:

• Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering discipline or similar
• Professional Engineer registration in one or more states.
• Experience with Medium and Low Voltage electric power systems
• Experience with power generation facility grid interface design
• Deep knowledge of one or more sets of grid code requirements, U.S. and/or international
• Experience with navigating requirements management and adapting high-level requirements to new jurisdictions
• A “product” mindset that blends high safety and quality standards with the drive to deliver on customer needs in a…
