full-time
Our client is seeking a highly experienced and innovative Lead Geothermal Energy Systems Engineer to join their growing team. This role is pivotal in driving the design, development, and optimization of advanced geothermal energy systems. You will lead projects focused on harnessing the Earth's natural heat for sustainable power generation. This position involves a hybrid work model, combining the benefits of remote flexibility with essential on-site collaboration and field activities. Your responsibilities will encompass feasibility studies, site assessment, conceptual and detailed design of geothermal power plants, and overseeing the installation and commissioning processes. You will work closely with geologists, reservoir engineers, and project managers to ensure the successful execution of geothermal projects from inception to operation. A key aspect of this role is to innovate and improve existing technologies, exploring new methods for resource exploration and energy extraction to enhance efficiency and reduce environmental impact. The ideal candidate will possess a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field, with a strong specialization in renewable energy, particularly geothermal systems. A minimum of 10 years of progressive experience in the energy sector, with at least 5 years focused on geothermal power generation projects, is required. Demonstrated experience in project leadership, contract management, and risk assessment is crucial. Strong knowledge of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and power plant operations is essential. Familiarity with relevant software for simulation and design (e.g., Aspen HYSYS, AutoCAD) is a plus. Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and problem-solving skills are vital for navigating complex technical and project challenges. You will be expected to travel occasionally for site visits and project meetings. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute significantly to the clean energy transition and build a sustainable future through pioneering geothermal technology.

Responsibilities:
  • Lead the design and engineering of geothermal power plant systems.
  • Conduct feasibility studies and site assessments for new geothermal projects.
  • Oversee the development and implementation of geothermal technology solutions.
  • Manage project lifecycles from conceptualization through to operational handover.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including geologists and project managers.
  • Ensure compliance with safety, environmental, and regulatory standards.
  • Innovate and optimize geothermal energy extraction and conversion processes.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineering teams.
  • Prepare technical reports, proposals, and presentations for stakeholders.
Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, or related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in the energy sector, with 5+ years in geothermal engineering.
  • Proven experience in geothermal power plant design and project management.
  • Strong understanding of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer.
  • Experience with relevant engineering design and simulation software.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and analytical skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in a hybrid environment and travel as needed.
