Plant Engineer

Position Overview

The Senior Manager, Plant Reliability & Projects serves as a key operational and technical leader responsible for improving plant reliability, strengthening work management processes, and supporting execution of site projects at the Northeast Energy Center. This role is intended for a hands-on leader who can bridge plant operations, maintenance, reliability, and project execution while helping drive better organization, accountability, and follow-through across the site.

This position will focus on asset reliability, maintenance and PM strategy, CMMS/work management improvement, contractor coordination, outage and project support, and long-term plant performance. The ideal candidate brings strong industrial leadership experience, sound judgment, technical credibility, and the ability to improve systems and execution in a practical way.

This is a hybrid role that requires 3 days onsite presence to support plant priorities, major projects, outages, vendor coordination, and critical operational needs, while also allowing flexibility for planning, analysis, reporting, and project coordination work to be performed offsite when appropriate.
