About This Job


Job Description Summary

Addressing the climate crisis is an urgent global priority. As a company whose technology is used to power ~25% of the world’s electricity, we take our responsibility seriously. GE Vernova is a purpose-built company leading a new era of energy – electrifying the world while simultaneously working to help decarbonize it. We are accelerating the path to more reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy, while helping our customers power economies and deliver the electricity that is vital to health, safety, security, and improved quality of life.

GE Vernova’s Hydro Power business designs, develops, manufactures, and services advanced technologies that harness the power of water to deliver reliable and sustainable power. For more than a century, hydroelectricity has played an essential role in the North American and global electricity systems. Today, it’s the world’s largest source of renewable energy while pumped storage provides more than 90% of stored electricity across the planet. But to reach net-zero globally by 2050, we need to double the amount of hydro currently installed. Whether it’s through pumped storage, run-of-river, or reservoirs, hydroelectricity will continue to be a cornerstone of North America’s energy future.

Do you have the energy to change the world? If you are ready to make a difference and usher in the new era of energy, come join us. You will get the opportunity to evolve and grow surrounded by some of the brightest minds in the industry, work on cutting-edge technology, and be part of a global team of ~75,000 people across more than 100 countries.

The GE Site EHS Manager will be the GE Environment, Health & Safety representative on GE Hydro Power Plant during the defined period of the project.

You will be responsible to support the GE Site Manager, Supervisors, Subcontractors and Partner on EHS matters, coordinate EHS activities and ensure that GE policies and procedures are implemented during the execution of the project. You will report to the GE Site Manager/U.S. HSE leader and will keep close contact with the Project Team.
