Job Description

The Fleet Performance Engineer for GE Vernova is responsible for monitoring, analyzing, and interpreting the technical performance of the installed fleet to identify abnormal behavior, degradation, recurring issues, and emerging reliability risks.

Key Responsibilities

Monitor fleet performance, availability, reliability, and energy-production KPIs across solar and energy-storage assets.
Analyze operational data, alarms, events, and maintenance history to identify performance deviations, recurring issues, and emerging risks.
Develop and maintain standardized dashboards, reports, and analytical views that provide clear fleet and asset-level visibility.
Investigate underperformance and quantify its technical, operational, and customer impact.
Benchmark assets, sites, configurations, and operating conditions to identify performance gaps and best practices.
Partner with Reliability and RCA teams to define affected populations, support investigations, and validate corrective-action effectiveness.
Develop early-warning indicators and analytical methods that support condition-based and predictive maintenance.
Translate analytical findings into prioritized recommendations for operations, maintenance, engineering, controls, software, and product teams.
Define data and contextualization requirements with Data Engineering and Analytics/AI teams, including asset hierarchy and phase-module traceability.
Identify data-quality, completeness, and consistency issues and support sustainable corrective actions.
Communicate fleet insights, risks, and recommended actions clearly to technical teams, customers, and business leaders.
Maintain analytical methods, assumptions, and documentation while promoting data-driven decision-making and continuous improvement.
