Turbine and Generator Services’ (TGS) vision is to Optimize the reliability and cost of Regulated Renewable Energy’s (RRE) centerline assets through data-driven technical solutions, collaboration and oversite.  The Generator Engineering team provides advanced engineering support for Duke Energy’s fleet of utility-scale generators and associated electrical systems. As the organization’s technical subject matter experts, Generator Engineers perform equipment condition assessments, analyze operational and maintenance data, troubleshoot complex generator issues, lead root cause investigations, and develop technical recommendations to improve reliability and performance.

The team supports major outages and generator repair projects through technical oversight, engineering evaluations, inspection planning, and repair scope development. Working across multiple generating stations, Generator Engineers apply fleet-wide lessons learned and industry best practices to solve challenging technical problems, extend asset life, and ensure the safe and reliable operation of critical generating equipment.  The Lead Engineer is at the specialist level of the Engineering classification hierarchy.

Employees at this level are leaders. They solve complex problems, manage work, and develop innovative ways to streamline processes.
