The Gas‑to‑Power Engineer is responsible for the design, optimisation, and performance management of gas‑fired power generation assets, including open‑cycle and combined‑cycle gas turbine (OCGT/CCGT) plants. The role integrates technical engineering, operational excellence, commercial analysis, and regulatory compliance to ensure safe, reliable, and cost‑effective power generation.

Responsibilities

Develop and review engineering designs for gas turbines, balance‑of‑plant systems, and combined‑cycle configurations
Conduct thermodynamic modelling, heat‑rate analysis, and performance simulations
Support FEED, EPC, and commissioning activities
Evaluate hydrogen‑ready and future‑fuel capabilities
Monitor plant performance, availability, and reliability KPIs
Lead combustion tuning, emissions optimisation, and turbine health diagnostics
Implement predictive and condition‑based maintenance strategies
Troubleshoot operational issues and lead root‑cause analyses
Model dispatchability, ramp rates, and grid‑stability contributions
Integrate gas‑to‑power assets with renewables, storage, and hybrid systems
Support grid‑code compliance and system‑operator interactions
Analyse fuel supply options, gas pricing, and variable cost impacts
Provide technical inputs for PPAs, O&M contracts, and IPP bid submissions
Support due diligence, bankability studies, and lifecycle cost modelling
Engage with OEMs, EPCs, regulators, and financial institutions
Ensure adherence to environmental, safety, and NERSA regulatory requirements
Maintain engineering documentation, standards, and quality controls
Support risk assessments, HAZOPs, and operational readiness reviews

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, or Energy Engineering
Postgraduate qualifications (advantageous): Energy Systems, Project Management, MBA
10–15 years’ experience in gas turbines, power generation, or large‑scale energy systems
Experience in EPC, OEM, utility, or IPP environments
Exposure to hydrogen‑ready technologies or hybrid systems is a plus
