Structural Integrity Associates, Inc. (SIA) is seeking a Manager for the Turbine and Generator services group to coordinate, develop, and implement innovative solutions for extending the life and failure analysis of rotating equipment including gas, steam, and wind turbines. The manager will oversee the group's service offerings and contribute to product planning, ensuring they align with market conditions and development needs. The ideal candidate will lead a dynamic team focused on delivering client-centered solutions for simple and combined cycle gas turbines, steam turbines, hydro, wind, and nuclear power generation. The role encompasses all aspects of engineering consulting, including managing client relations, business development, project quoting, execution, and reporting. Furthermore, the candidate will work to develop and expand business opportunities with existing Structural Integrity clients while supporting the growth of new clients and business offerings.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Manage and lead a dynamic team of experienced engineers performing that use finite element modeling, fracture mechanics, and operational review to perform rotor life extension, fitness-for-service and failure analysis services to owners and operators of turbine equipment.
• Interface with clients to identify their needs and match with solutions SIA offers.
• Conduct evaluations for the design, life assessment, and root cause failure analysis of turbine and generator equipment, both rotating and non-rotating, as well as other high-temperature components that are susceptible to creep, fatigue, and other damage mechanisms. This evaluation may include high-energy piping, headers, tubing, valves, pressure vessels, and additional high-temperature and pressure components.
• Perform thermal heat transfer and structural stress analysis on rotating equipment, pressure vessels, piping systems, turbine rotors, blades, casings, valve bodies, and other plant structures using both classical methods and finite element analysis.
• Utilize fatigue, corrosion, and high-temperature creep life assessment, along with fracture mechanics-based crack growth concepts, to evaluate the serviceability of damaged or flawed components.
• Apply expertise in materials, welding, and nondestructive examination techniques throughout projects. Assist in Root Cause Analysis by providing lifing calculations for failed components.
• Develop lifing and modeling processes and procedures for typical failure modes and components. Provide mentorship and training to entry-level engineers in stress analysis and life assessment techniques.
• Prepare written technical reports and presentations. Develop proposals for opportunities identified through collaboration with Nondestructive Examination (NDE) personnel on inspection work and analytical staff.
• Participate in annual planning meetings and budgeting processes.

Required Skills/Qualifications:

• 10-15 years of experience in Mechanical Engineering or related industry experience.
• BS or MS degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• Highly motivated self-starter with a strong eagerness to learn and challenge historical practices.
• Experience in power generation rotating machinery, including but not limited to gas turbines, steam turbines, generators, and plant auxiliaries.
• Working knowledge of CAD software, Abaqus and/or ANSYS FE software, and general fracture mechanics and creep concepts.
• Knowledge of common gas turbine and steam turbine alloys, failure mechanisms and properties.
• Ability to be actively involved in both internal and external training and development programs.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, along with proficiency in computer software, including Microsoft Office.

Desired Skills/Qualifications:

• Background in life management of capital and critical assets or maintenance.
