**Job Description Summary**
Role Summary/Purpose
Today's AC power grid is increasingly being pushed to its limits. The energy transition drives an unprecedented growth in demand for electricity, whilst generation is becoming more decentralized, more remote, more variable and generally grid-connected through an inverter interface. Planning processes and supply chain limitations are slowing down the required AC grid expansions, which means the existing grid is operated closer to its ratings and stability margins. GE Vernova's Grid Systems Integration business line offers a full set of flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) technologies to assist grid owners and operators in maintaining reliability and adequacy by managing voltage levels, optimizing power flows and mitigating instabilities.
GE Vernova's CTO office is tasked with developing the R&D roadmap for FACTS technologies, managing competencies within the company, and supporting projects with specialised technical support. Consulting Engineers, who sit in the CTO team, are the highest technical authority within GE Vernova's Grid Systems Integration and Cross Electrification business. They act as executive technical consultant, ensuring customer confidence, reviewing and enhancing design practices, acting as a gate keeper for technical reviews, applying lessons learned, leading complex, state-of-the-art technology improvements, engaging with quality reviews and cost optimization exercises both within their specialist domain and across other domains.
GE Vernova is currently looking for an experienced technical specialist to join us as Consulting Engineer for FACTS.
