Senior Regional Customer Application Engineer (RCAE) - Americas

Job Description SummaryThe Senior Regional Customer Application Engineer (RCAE) is the primary technical interface with customers across the Americas during the early opportunity development phase, before formal proposal issuance. This role sits at the front end of the Inquiry-to-Remittance (ITR) value stream and is responsible for helping define the right solution early - balancing customer needs, commercial competitiveness, product standardization, and downstream execution readiness.The RCAE shapes opportunities before they enter firm proposal by clarifying technical scope, identifying key assumptions, evaluating standard versus non-standard configurations, and positioning GE Vernova solutions in a way that improves bid quality and execution confidence. The RCAE is expected not only to support opportunities, but to improve the quality, clarity, and executability of what enters the downstream proposal process. Decisions made in this role have significant downstream impact on safety, quality, schedule, cost, and risk.This is a customer-facing technical-commercial role for individuals with strong experience in gas turbines, thermal power generation, and power plant architecture, combined with the ability to influence project development strategy.
