Job Description:
What's the role
Shell is building a focused, competitive, and adaptive Power Business, with a track record of delivery for a future where electrons play a greater role. Shell Renewable Asset Management International (SRAMI) plays a key role - accountable for the asset management, including operations and technical support of a 2+ gigawatt global portfolio of onshore solar, wind, battery storage, and gas fired generation assets located in The Netherlands, Oman, Italy, the United Kingdom, Japan, and United States, with expectations to grow the managed flexible generation portfolio.
This role reports to the Global Engineering Manager and sits within the central, multidisciplinary engineering team. It has been established in response to global investments and acquisitions in gas-fired generating (GFG) assets. The successful candidate will provide technical expertise in the operation, maintenance, and reliability of gas turbines and high-speed rotating equipment across the GFG asset portfolio.
Additionally, the role will support onshore wind turbine assets, leveraging rotating equipment knowledge to enhance asset performance. Due to the industry's reliance on third-party Operations and Maintenance (O&M) contractors, proven experience in contractor and contract management is essential. The role requires frequent travel with flexibility depending on the operational requirements. Collaboration will be key, with close working relationships across Asset Management, Operations, and Trading teams, as well as support from internal functions and external service providers.
