Description
Job Description Summary
We are looking for a bold, systems-minded leader to build something that doesn't fully exist yet at GE Vernova Wind: a unified Asset Lifecycle Management capability.Today, critical data about our turbine components — blades, drivetrain, structural assemblies —lives in disconnected systems. Inspection findings sit in drone portals. Repair dispositions live in salesforce. Manufacturing records exist in ERP. No single view connects them. An engineer reviewing a blade today has no easy way to know whether that same blade had a finding two years ago, was repaired eighteen months ago, or is approaching the end of its design life.
This role exists to change that. Starting with blades and expanding to all major mechanical components, the Asset Lifecycle Management Leader will define the strategy, build the cross-functional partnerships, and drive the execution required to create a component-level digital record for every asset in our fleet —from first serial number registration through inspection, maintenance, repair, replacement, and retirement.
Job Description
Roles and Responsibilities
Strategy & Vision
- Define the end-to-end asset lifecycle management framework, beginning with blades and scaling to drivetrain, nacelle, and structural components
- Establish the vision for a component-level digital record — linking serial number → turbine → site → full history
- Build the multi-year roadmap for data consolidation, platform development, and process standardization
- Align with business priorities to define what "intelligent decision-making" looks like at fleet scale
Data Architecture & System Integration
- Partner with Digital/IT teams/configuration management to define data models that connect:
- Manufacturing & serial number registration
- Inspection findings (blade drone data, internal inspections, maintenance inspections)
- Maintenance & service records
- Repair dispositions (currently in Salesforce)
- Replacement and retirement events
- Drive requirements for a unified asset registry — one record per component, accessible by serial number
- Identify and close gaps between siloed platforms (drone portals, Salesforce, ERP, CMMS)
- Define data standards, taxonomy, and component hierarchy (turbine → assembly → component)
Blade & Component Inspection Lifecycle (Current State → Future State
- Map the current blade inspection workflow end-to-end:
- Drone inspection → portal upload → engineer review → Salesforce case creation → disposition
- Identify failure points where history is lost or context is missing
- Design future-state workflow where every inspection finding is:
- Linked to the specific blade serial number
- Stacked against prior findings on the same blade
- Visible alongside repair history, age, and remaining useful life
- Expand framework to other mechanical components as the program matures
Cross-Functional Leadership
- Work with Engineering Subsystems & FPM teams to define what data needs to be captured at each lifecycle event
- Work with Digital teams to translate engineering requirements into platform capabilities
- Work with Operations/Field Services to ensure process adoption on the ground
- Work with Supply Chain / MFG teams to ensure component data is registered at birth (serial number, specs, materials)
- Engage 3rd party vendors (drone companies, inspection firms) to standardize data handoff formats and APIs
Governance & Process Ownership
- Define clear data ownership — who captures, validates, and maintains each data type across the lifecycle
- Establish lifecycle event triggers — the events that must be recorded, by whom, and when
- • Build a data quality governance model to ensure records are complete, accurate, and timely
- Lead the change management effort as teams transition from fragmented tools to a unified platform
Essential Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering (Mechanical, Structural, Electrical, or related
discipline) required
• 8+ years of experience in wind energy, power generation, or heavy industrial asset management
• Demonstrated experience working at the intersection of engineering and digital or technology teams
• Proven track record of leading cross-functional programs across engineering,
operations, and IT
• Experience managing or contributing to inspection, maintenance, or reliability
programs for complex mechanical systems
• Ability to translate operational and engineering challenges into data requirements and system solutions
Desired Qualifications
• Familiarity with wind turbine blade inspection workflows, drone data platforms, or structural health monitoring programs
• Working knowledge of platforms such as Salesforce, SAP, CMMS, or asset
management systems
• Experience defining or managing API integrations and data exchange standards with third-party vendors
• Systems thinker: able to hold the end-to-end vision while driving component-level precision
• Influence-driven leader: proven ability to align and mobilize teams without direct authority
• Bridge builder: fluent in both engineering language and digital/technology language; equally credible in both rooms
• Comfortable with ambiguity: this role is building something new, not maintaining an existing process
• Strong communicator: able to present complex data strategy to field engineers and executive leadership alike
• Bias for action: moves programs forward while maintaining rigor and stakeholder alignment
