Project Engineering Manager HVDC

Join GE Vernova's Grid Systems Integration team and play a key role in advancing the energy transition through the delivery of large-scale High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) projects.

The Project Engineering Manager (PEM) is responsible for leading and managing the end-to-end engineering execution of large and complex HVDC projects, ensuring safe, high-quality, timely and cost-effective delivery.

The role serves as the primary engineering interface with customers and key stakeholders, providing technical leadership and coordinating multidisciplinary engineering teams across global engineering centres. The successful candidate will oversee engineering activities from project initiation and design through procurement, construction, commissioning and project handover, ensuring compliance with contractual requirements, engineering standards and project objectives.

• Lead and manage the overall engineering execution of large-scale HVDC projects from project initiation through commissioning and handover.
• Take accountability for engineering deliverables, including safety, quality, schedule, cost, risk management and customer satisfaction.
• Coordinate multidisciplinary engineering teams across System Engineering, Primary Plant, Civil & Structural, Control & Protection, Power System Studies, Mechanical, Telecommunications and Commissioning.
• Develop and implement engineering execution plans, resource requirements, project priorities and performance targets.
• Ensure engineering deliverables meet contractual obligations, technical specifications, project milestones and quality requirements.
• Provide technical direction and coordinate the resolution of engineering challenges throughout the project lifecycle.
• Manage engineering interfaces among customers, consortium partners, subcontractors, suppliers and internal stakeholders.
• Coordinate engineering activities across global engineering centres and functional teams to ensure technical alignment and timely delivery.
• Lead technical design reviews, engineering coordination meetings and technical governance activities.
• Ensure effective configuration management, design control and engineering documentation throughout project execution.
• Identify, assess and mitigate technical risks, interface issues and engineering constraints that may impact project performance.
• Facilitate the resolution of complex technical issues in collaboration with engineering specialists and relevant stakeholders.

• Ensure engineering activities comply with applicable HVDC reference designs, international standards, grid codes, contractual requirements and project-specific technical specifications.
• Collaborate with Solution Engineering teams to ensure approved technical solutions are implemented and identified technical gaps are appropriately addressed.
• Lead engineering change management activities, including assessing technical impacts on project scope, cost and schedule.
• Oversee the technical integration of engineering deliverables from subcontractors, suppliers and consortium partners.
• Ensure compliance with established engineering processes, quality management systems and internal governance requirements.

• Monitor and manage engineering performance against project KPIs, including schedule adherence, engineering budget, quality, productivity and delivery milestones.
• Collaborate with Project Management, Procurement, Manufacturing, Construction, Site Management and Commissioning teams to support successful project execution.
• Identify potential engineering delays, technical constraints and delivery risks, and implement appropriate mitigation measures.
• Support the assessment of technical variations, change orders, claims and associated commercial implications.
• Prepare and present engineering progress reports, risk assessments and performance updates to project leadership and senior management.
• Drive effective resource planning and coordination to ensure engineering activities remain aligned with project priorities.

• Serve as the primary engineering interface with utility customers, developers, transmission system operators and consortium partners.
• Lead technical workshops, design reviews and engineering coordination discussions with customers and external stakeholders.
• Communicate engineering progress, technical decisions, project risks and mitigation plans clearly…
