Continuous Improvement: Proactively improve product performance, reliability, and safety through design initiatives.
Collaboration: Support cross-functional teams (Commissioning, Sourcing, Projects) and engage in peer-to-peer mentoring.
Reporting: Provide weekly KPI updates and proactively communicate technical risks to leadership.

Academic or project-based exposure to power plant water/steam cycle (WSC) chemistry is a plus.
Proficiency in drafting software (Visio, Comos, or Aveva) is a plus.
Ability to work effectively within a global, cross-functional engineering team.
Ability to manage multiple priorities and adapt quickly to business needs.
Willingness to travel globally on short notice.
Strong interpersonal, influencing, and communication skills.
