Major Accountabilities Present Engineering recommendations and drive decisions that have a moderate to high effect on the overall Generation performance. Influence long term Generation goals and objectives through development of projects. Develop engineering expertise in one or more areas, with a depth of knowledge in related field or a wide breadth of engineering knowledge in multiple fields. Contacts internal customers and various levels of engineering and plant management to obtain or present technical data. Presents the results of designs, feasibility studies or varying alternatives to subordinates, colleagues, management, and customers in support of solving problems and driving decisions. Define individual goals. Has capability to work within defined processes, solving problems with stakeholder engagement and minimal direction. Work is reviewed from a long-term perspective, to ensure alignment with organization strategic vision. Establishes most effective solution to Generation problems.
