Shift supervisor, Engineering

The APEX Power Co. Project in Hubbard, TX, currently under Phase 1 construction, is expected to expand to 1.6 GW. It features a diverse mix of generation technologies, including Siemens SGT-800/400 simple cycle turbines, MAN/Everllence 18V51/60G gas reciprocating engines, GE LM6000/LM2500 simple cycle turbines, Pratt & Whitney FT8 simple cycle turbines, and a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), enabling flexible, reliable power output.

Future expansion may include additional GE aero and large frame units (6B, 7FA/7FB/7H) in simple or combined cycle configurations, allowing the plant to efficiently meet varying energy demands while supporting data center grid reliability.

The Shift Supervisor ensures the safe, efficient, and reliable production of steam and electricity during their shift, while also serving as the senior‑most individual on duty. In addition to performing Control Room Operator duties, they oversee plant operations, material handling, and coordination of maintenance and engineering activities. They are responsible for enforcing safety protocols, maintaining compliance with operational standards, and making critical real‑time decisions to protect personnel and equipment.

This role is essential to sustaining plant reliability, managing emergencies, and ensuring operational continuity.

• Assist with oversight of pre‑commissioning shift operations, coordinating system testing, startup activities, procedure validation, and commissioning tasks to support safe and compliant plant operations for transition from EPC to commercial operation.
• Supervise and guide Control Room Operators (CROs) and O&M Technicians, supporting coordination of field operations, system testing, and startup readiness.
• Assist in coordinating with EPC contractors, OEMs, and engineering teams to plan and execute safe and efficient system testing and turnover activities.
• Participate in system walkdowns, turnover inspections, PSSRs, first‑fire events, synchronization, and performance testing to confirm operational readiness.
• Support validation of operating procedures, alarm responses, switching orders, and emergency protocols by verifying field conditions and operational accuracy.
• Participate in DCS and HMI validation, including alarm checks, control logic verification, and operator interface testing.
• Support verification of system readiness and commissioning documentation, including equipment labeling, tagging, lockout/tagout, and startup logs for handover to Operations.

• Provide oversight and direct supervision of all station operations, including startup and shutdown of main plant components and auxiliaries, while performing Control Room Operator duties as needed.
• Ensure all site safety requirements and procedures are implemented and consistently observed, address hazards, and conduct periodic plant tours to verify compliance.
• Serve as the lead system representative for assigned systems and maintain accurate logs and reports on system performance, downtime, outages, repairs, and production indices.
• Review routine chemical testing results and coordinate corrective actions, as well as electrical and mechanical inspections, troubleshooting, and maintenance tasks under the direction of the Maintenance Manager.
• Plan, direct, and supervise preventive and corrective maintenance across all systems and equipment, ensuring reliability and operational readiness.
• Monitor daily consumption of chemicals, gases, fuels, water, and other consumables, manage inventories, and ensure timely replenishment.
• Ensure proper in‑plant switching and tagging of equipment according to approved procedures and industry best practices.
• Write, review, and revise operating procedures, ensuring compliance across plant operations, maintenance, and personnel management.
• Provide guidance and support for shift operations, offering feedback to employees and technical/administrative recommendations to Operations and Maintenance Managers to ensure adherence to plant procedures and operational standards.
• Assist in the orientation, training, and development of O&M Technicians, preparing…
