What are the responsibilities and job description for the Lathe Machinist - Large Generator Rotors (3rd Shift, Mon - Fri, 12am - 8am) position at Siemens Energy?
A Snapshot of Your Day
At 12:00 PM, you meet with your team and supervisor to discuss safety, job assignments, and shift goals. Afterward, you head to your assigned lathe to machine a new generator rotor shaft. You review the previous shift's notes in the electronic production system, consult the work instructions, and set up the vital equipment.
You adjust the steady rests and change the shoes to the correct diameter. With a crane operator's help, you load and align the rotor, then install the cutting tool for the first operation. You continue machining until the end of your shift.
Before leaving, you update the electronic production system with your progress, ensuring the third shift team can continue seamlessly. The rotor will be machined over the next seven days, with three shifts per day.
How You’ll Make An Impact
Our Large Generator Rotor Operations team is responsible for manufacturing large electric generator rotors weighing up to 275 tons. We operate within the Large Generator team to supply new 150 - 1000 megawatt generators to power plants all over the world. In addition to manufacturing new rotors, we also service generator rotors by providing inspections, rewinds, modernizations, and upgrades.
Our Gas Services division offers low-emission power generation through service and decarbonization. Zero or low emission power generation and all gas turbines under one roof, steam turbines and generators. Decarbonization opportunities through service offerings, modernization, and digitalization of the fleet.
