  • Perform heat balance modeling for combined cycle plants, including HRSG integration, steam turbine performance, and gas turbine exhaust energy recovery.
  • Design mechanical systems surrounding the turbine island, including condensers, feedwater systems, pumps, and heat exchangers.
  • Experience with ASME codes, piping design, rotating equipment, and high energy mechanical systems within balance of plant environments
  • Ability to interpret engineering drawings, equipment specifications, and plant system documentation for large scale power projects
