This position will be located at Dominion's Thomas Farrel Building in Richmond, Virginia.

The successful candidate will be trained to provide the following corporate support to Dominion’s Power Generation (non-nuclear) fleet:

• Steam Turbine Engineering Inspection and Assessments – Perform and/or coordinate assessments and inspections to recommend cost‑effective short‑term repair and long‑term preventive maintenance strategies, design improvements, and major equipment component replacement strategies.
• Steam Turbine Root Cause Analysis – Lead or support root‑cause assessments to recommend corrective actions to mitigate repetitive events, including cost‑effective maintenance and operational procedures to maintain unit capacity and efficiency.
• Planned and Forced Outage Support – Provide component troubleshooting, assessments, and repair recommendations for more complex maintenance and operational events; e.g., component damage/aging/wear, run versus repair decisions based on technical risk, troubleshooting operational issues. Work integrally with Stations, Outage Planning, Project Managers, and outside suppliers.
• Engineering General Support – Technical studies, field assessments with station personnel, work scopes and specification development, cost estimates, contract management input, construction support, vendor vetting, vendor repair shop QC surveillance, and coordination with maintenance or contractors for repair execution.
• Develop Multi‑Year Short and Long‑Term Maintenance Strategies – Perform annual reviews of steam turbine maintenance and operations for budget strategy and outage planning, including prioritizing repair funding on a fleet‑wide basis.
