Are you interested in being part of an innovative team that supports Westinghouse’s mission to provide clean energy solutions? At Westinghouse, we recognize that our employees are our most valuable asset and we seek to identify, attract and recruit the most qualified talent while recognizing and encouraging the value of diversity in the global workplace.

About the role:

As a Systems Delivery Lead (SDL), you will lead the Westinghouse Parts Business (WPB) in planning and delivering changes to its business systems. You will connect business priorities with software delivery, testing, launch planning, day-to-day support, and work performed by outside partners. You will turn priorities into clear plans, schedules, milestones, and delivery targets. The SDL also keeps stakeholders informed about progress, risks, dependencies, decisions, and expected results.

You will use your knowledge of software development and system integration to help business and technical teams work together. This will help the business explain what it needs and why, and you will then work with the architecture team to make sure those needs are understood in technical terms. You will also help identify gaps, risks, dependencies, and technical limits early and explain technical choices in language the business can understand.

You will support communication and decision-making but does not own the business process or make final technical design decisions.

The SDL keeps work moving across teams, setting clear delivery practices, coordinating employees and outside partners, and helping resolve issues that affect more than one group.
