Are you ready to make a real impact in the world of engineering? At Portland General Electric, we're looking for top-tier talent to take on an exciting role that combines innovation, hands‑on experience, and the opportunity to drive positive change. As a Senior level Power Plant Mechanical Engineer, you'll be the driving force behind our mission. Your expertise will extend to the very heart of our operations, from the intense combustion turbines to the intricate steam turbine systems.

You’re not just another cog in the wheel. You're the visionary behind the engineering marvels that power our world. Here's what you can expect:

• Engineering Standards Maintains currency in state‑of‑the‑art engineering practices and provides guidance and direction on engineering processes and standards to colleagues as requested. Utilizes thorough understanding and interpretation of applicable codes (i.e., ASME B31.1 Power Piping, ASME Boiler Pressure Vessel Code, American National Standards Institute, National Fire Protection Association Codes and Standards, etc.) and serves as a resource, providing guidance to other engineers.
• Engineering Production Prepares a variety of complex engineering deliverables for larger or multiple projects; coordinates multiple‑discipline activity. Analyzes and recommends overall design enhancements to the operation, reliability, safety and regulatory compliance of PGE’s generating resources; reviews calculations completed by other engineers; project work may include power boiler modifications, gas turbine overhauls and upgrades, steam turbine major maintenance, vibration analysis, lube oil analysis, bearing alignment, specification development and review, etc.
  
  Analyzes, responds to, performs and reviews complex technical studies; supports Root Cause Analyses (RCAs); prepares reports and design packages and provides data and recommendations on complex technical matters to company personnel and management. Investigates and analyzes complex system construction, maintenance and operational problems. Develops solutions and initiates corrective actions. Provides design direction to other engineers, technicians, draftsmen and designers within functional area.
• Project Coordination Actively coordinates with other internal/external team members on moderately complex projects, including representing the team to interdepartmental stakeholders. Reviews junior engineering work. Selects design methodologies and solutions to apply; leads work with other engineering departments, plant staff, environmental services, nondestructive examination team and reliability‑centered maintenance team. Scopes, plans, schedules and directs major project assignments or a number of minor project assignments with complex features associated with design, construction, operation, maintenance or testing.
  
  Prepares project budget estimates and tracks project costs.
• Knowledge Sharing Serves as a technical specialist and provides consultation/guidance to project teams as it relates to steam and combustion turbine technology; actively fosters knowledge management and provides mentoring; implements resource‑management strategy. Maintains a high level of engineering proficiency within the combustion and steam turbine technology.

• Education: Requires a bachelor’s degree in engineering. Preferred from ABET‑accredited engineering program or program accredited by an equivalent agency.
• Experience: Typically five or more years in engineering, or four or more years in a related field with PE license.
• Certifications, Licenses and Training: Professional Engineering…
