With a focus on combustion and steam turbine engineering, you'll take the lead in major maintenance projects and component upgrades. You will shape the specifications, coordinate fabrication, and oversee every aspect of these critical systems' life cycles, from installation to operation, application, maintenance, and repair.

5. Unleash Your Expertise: Specializing in combustion and steam turbine engineering, you'll be at the forefront of major maintenance activities and component upgrades. You'll be responsible for developing specifications, coordinating fabrication, and driving the success of these critical systems.

6. Quality Matters: Your work will be the cornerstone of maintaining and elevating quality levels and industry standards. You'll be the one to ensure that excellence is the norm, not the exception.

7. Always Learning: We're not just addressing today's problems, but the future as well. This requires you to continue to grow and develop. At PGE, we believe in investing in our best assets, Our People. Few examples, continuing education for professional licensure or certification, membership to industry partner conferences, or further education; we are "Always learning".
