Job title: On-site Lead – Large Generator Installations (Gas Services, APAC)

About the Role

This role provides on-site leadership and technical expertise for large-scale generator installations within Siemens Energy’s Gas Services operations across Asia Pacific. The position supports the full site lifecycle from team coordination and quality assurance to EHS compliance, and would suit a mechanical engineering professional with strong site management experience and a collaborative approach to independent, on-site leadership in a power plant environment.

What You'll Do

• Guide and coordinate the on-site installation team, aligning work distribution, schedules, and resources with project management to keep milestones on track.

• Serve as the primary on-site contact for customers and back-office teams, while overseeing subcontractor activities to ensure alignment with project standards and agreements.

• Oversee installation, maintenance, and repair of large generators (e.g., SGEN5 series), ensuring work meets technical specifications and Siemens Energy quality standards.

• Troubleshoot complex mechanical and electrical issues during installation, commissioning, and testing, and prepare final assembly reports and technical documentation upon completion.

• Develop and implement site-specific EHS plans, including risk assessments and method statements, while leading daily safety briefings; maintain accurate site documentation and coordinate logistics for site resources.

• What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, or equivalent, with strong hands-on experience supervising the installation, maintenance, or commissioning of large generators at power plants.

• Comfortable working independently on international project sites for extended periods, with good English skills for speaking and writing.

• Strong leadership and project management skills — able to manage workflows, build good relationships with customers, and influence others positively.

• Good technical knowledge in mechanical and electrical engineering, with experience in commissioning and preventive maintenance.

• Natural problem-solver who enjoys troubleshooting technical issues and working with test equipment.

• Careful and detail-oriented with respect to quality and safety, with experience in quality assurance, quality control, and investigations.

• Nice to Have

• Experience with SGEN5 or similar large generator models and related test equipment on-site.

• Compensation & Benefits

• Outstanding opportunity for personal development in an organization covering multiple facets of the energy industry and energy transition.

• Provide flexible and hybrid working arrangement.

• Work in a diverse team with an open approach that supports your development.
