Develop and own process design standards and methodologies for BTM solutions, including Reciprocating Gas Engine (RICE), Turbine design, Fuel Cell design, and fuel-gas supply, pressure regulation, metering, filtration, exhaust, ventilation, and cooling interfaces as applicable, including documentation requirements, design basis, and review workflows.

Plan and facilitate process hazard analyses (HAZOP, HAZID, What-If) and layers of protection analysis (LOPA) for generation-adjacent processes (fuel handling, exhaust/emissions systems, ancillary skids). Partner with engineering disciplines to ensure hazards are addressed through design features, safeguards, alarms, interlocks, and procedures.

Define risk acceptance criteria and ensure mitigation actions are tracked to closure across project phases. Support permitting and regulatory interfaces by ensuring process documentation and monitoring approaches are well defined and auditable.

partner with Operations to embed these into runbooks and drills.

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline.

7+ years in industrial controls/OT engineering, SCADA integration, or mission-critical controls for generation/power systems.

Demonstrated expertise in process safety and process hazard analysis , including hands‑on experience planning and facilitating HAZOP, HAZID, What-If, and LOPA .

Direct experience with fuel-handling and generation-adjacent systems , such as reciprocating gas engines (RICE), turbines, fuel cells, fuel-gas supply, pressure regulation, metering, filtration, exhaust, ventilation, and cooling interfaces .

Strong understanding of risk assessment, risk acceptance criteria, and Management of Change (MOC) , with a track record of driving mitigation actions to closure across project phases.

Proven ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering and operations teams to embed safeguards, alarms, interlocks, and procedures into design and operations, and to translate complex process safety concepts into clear requirements, runbooks, and training materials.

Experience implementing OT security best practices (IEC 62443 concepts, secure remote access, network hardening).

Familiarity with common industrial protocols (Modbus, DNP3, OPC-UA) and time synchronization practices.

Experience supporting 24/7 operations environments and incident response workflows.

Emotional Intelligence (EQ): Ability to understand the emotions, cultural nuances, and motivations of others, while effectively managing one's own emotions during high‑pressure negotiations.

Critical Thinking Skills: Finding innovative solutions and being flexible in addressing unexpected challenges.
