Gas Turbine Specialist (Power Innovation (Commissioning)

Gas Turbine Technician / Specialist – Power Innovation (Commissioning)
Contract | Onsite – Bowling Green, OH (43402) | 12-Hour, 7-On/7-Off Rotation

---

Role Overview

A power and energy infrastructure programme is bringing on Gas Turbine Technicians to support commissioning, startup, and operations across generation assets, BESS, and substations. This is a hands-on field role — executing commissioning plans, running test protocols, finding the root cause when equipment misbehaves, and closing out records so systems can be turned over cleanly. Two positions available.

What You'll Do

• Provide advanced technical expertise on gas turbine systems through commissioning, startup, and operations
• Support safe, efficient commissioning and system turnover, including coordination of FAT/SAT activities, systemization, and punch-list closure
• Execute commissioning plans, procedures, and test protocols
• Review technical test reports and complete commissioning records and technical documentation
• Identify root causes of equipment issues and implement corrective actions
• Prepare and deliver technical briefings, commissioning readiness reviews, and post-event summaries to project leadership and cross-functional teams
• Adopt new technologies and drive operational efficiency across the commissioning effort
• Perform additional duties as needed to support commissioning

What We're Looking For

Essential

• Industry experience maintaining or troubleshooting gas turbine engines
• High School Diploma or GED
• Strong organisational and interpersonal skills, with safety as the top priority
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and general PC applications
• Valid state driver's licence and clean driving record
• Willingness to work shifts, overtime, and travel between locations
• Ability to work in extreme conditions and at elevated levels with appropriate PPE

Preferred

• Associate or 2-year technical degree
• Experience with Siemens SGT-800 and A-35 gas turbines

What's In It For You

• Front-line role on a live power innovation commissioning programme spanning generation, BESS, and substations
• Direct hands-on turbine work through energization and startup rather than desk-based support
• Exposure across Engineering, Construction, Operations, and OEM teams
• 7-on/7-off rotation — full week off between hitches
• Competitive hourly contract rate (shared on application)

Engagement Details

• Type: Contract, approx. 12 months
• Location: Onsite, Bowling Green, OH 43402 — no remote or hybrid element
• Schedule: 12-hour shifts, 7-day on/off rotating (days approx. 6:30am–6:30pm); occasional nights and holidays
• Relocation assistance: Not available
• Visa sponsorship: Not available
• Positions: 2
• Physical requirements: Work in extreme temperatures, loud areas, and confined spaces; lift up to 50 lbs (team lift for heavier); extended standing, walking, climbing, bending, squatting; work at height using ladders, scaffolding, or lifts with appropriate PPE; use of hand tools and mechanical diagnostic equipment
