Maintenance Manager

The Lordstown Energy Center is a natural gas‑fired combined‑cycle power plant. It features two Siemens SGT6-8000H combustion turbines and advanced air‑cooled generators. The facility includes NEM triple‑pressure reheat heat recovery steam generators and a Siemens SST6‑5000 condensing turbine with a hydrogen‑cooled generator, designed to optimize efficiency while supporting the regional power grid. Additional infrastructure, such as a 14‑cell cooling tower and emissions control systems, underscores its commitment to reliable energy generation and environmental stewardship.

The Maintenance Manager at Lordstown Energy Center leads the maintenance organization at a world‑class Siemens SGT6-8000H combined‑cycle facility known for high performance and operational excellence. This role is responsible for ensuring maximum reliability, availability, and efficiency of gas turbine, HRSG, and steam turbine systems—including SGT6-8000H combustion turbines and an SST6-5000 steam turbine—in a fast‑paced, grid‑responsive environment. It provides the opportunity to drive best‑in‑class maintenance strategies, strengthen a high‑performing technical team, and directly impact plant performance and long‑term asset value.

• Lead the plant maintenance function, ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient operation of combined‑cycle equipment, including Siemens SGT6-8000H gas turbines, HRSGs, and steam turbine systems, while managing personnel, projects, and compliance.
• Supervise maintenance personnel to ensure corrective, preventive, and predictive maintenance activities are executed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with OEM recommendations, station procedures, and the maintenance management system.
• Support workforce development through recruitment, hiring, onboarding, and training to maintain a skilled maintenance team capable of supporting advanced combined‑cycle operations and high‑availability dispatch requirements.
• Promote and sustain a strong safety culture by ensuring compliance with plant safety programs, supporting hazard recognition initiatives, and maintaining adherence to the station Safety Manual and regulatory requirements.
• Manage preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance programs to maximize reliability and availability of combustion turbines, steam turbine, HRSGs, balance‑of‑plant systems, and auxiliary equipment.
• Analyze equipment performance, reliability data, and failure trends (including vibration, thermodynamic performance, and condition monitoring outputs) to drive corrective actions, improve reliability, and reduce forced outages.
• Serve as project manager for maintenance and capital projects, coordinating schedules, resources, OEM/vendor support (including Siemens and specialty contractors), and technical execution to ensure safe, timely completion.
• Develop and manage contracts, scopes of work, budgets, and schedules for maintenance services, outage support, and specialty repair work, ensuring cost control and performance compliance.
• Prepare work packages, job plans, and scheduling inputs for planned outages, forced outages, and major maintenance events, including combustion inspections, hot gas path inspections, and HRSG outages.
• Ensure required parts, tooling, OEM spares, and contractor services are staged and available to support outage execution and emergent maintenance work.
• Review, validate, and maintain CMMS work orders, ensuring accurate failure coding, job history, and equipment performance tracking for reliability analysis.
• Administer the Management of Change (MOC) process to ensure equipment, control system, and procedural changes are properly evaluated, documented, and implemented in coordination with engineering and operations.
• Continuously evaluate maintenance strategies, procedures, and schedules to improve plant availability, cycling performance, start reliability, and heat rate efficiency.
• Collaborate with Operations, Engineering, and NERC compliance teams to ensure maintenance activities support grid reliability, dispatch readiness, and ISO/PJM requirements.
