Essential Responsibilities
Data Analysis, Reporting & Operational Tracking
- Assist with data analysis and maintain repositories for day-to-day operational reporting needs — building and maintaining the structured data management systems that give GE’s regional gas turbine services operations team accurate, timely, and consistently formatted performance data across all active outages, fleet installations, and critical operational processes, applying Excel, Power BI, and basic Python scripting to automate and standardize the data flows that underpin GE’s regional operational reporting cadence
- Maintain a daily record of all gas turbine outages and track key changes impacting on-time delivery performance — building and maintaining the outage tracking infrastructure that gives GE’s regional operations leadership real-time visibility into the delivery status, risk profile, and schedule changes of every active outage in the portfolio, ensuring that the information needed to make timely intervention decisions is always accurate, current, and easily accessible
- Monitor outage movements and maintain the daily tracker for task updates — keeping the central outage management tracker continuously updated with schedule changes, completion status updates, resource assignments, and key milestones, ensuring that the tracker reflects the current on-the-ground reality of outage progress rather than planned status that has since been overtaken by operational events
- Run various operational reports including On Time Delivery and Critical Tasks using Python scripts — executing and maintaining the Python-based reporting automation that produces GE’s standard operational performance reports, troubleshooting script errors, updating scripts when data structures change, and identifying opportunities to improve reporting efficiency and output quality through script enhancement
ERP Data, Financials & Regional Operations Support
- Support the region with installed base, outage, and ERP data — maintaining accurate, comprehensive, and consistently reconciled data across GE’s enterprise resource planning system for the regional gas turbine fleet, ensuring that installed base records, outage work orders, parts consumption, and financial postings reflect the current operational reality and provide the reliable data foundation that regional planning, forecasting, and performance reporting depends on
- Maintain financials at outage level after outages are completed — ensuring that all costs, revenues, parts, and labor charges are correctly recorded and reconciled at the individual outage level in GE’s ERP system, supporting the accurate outage-level financial analysis that allows GE’s regional operations team to understand the profitability, cost performance, and financial completion status of each gas turbine outage in the regional portfolio
- Collaborate with the region on demand signal accuracy and validation — working with the regional planning and operations teams to verify the accuracy of the demand signals that drive GE’s forward planning for parts procurement, resource scheduling, and capacity management, identifying and correcting data inaccuracies or planning assumption errors that could cause preventable supply chain or resource planning mismatches
- Support with other critical processes including Escalations, Monthly Operations Reviews (MOR), and Sales, Inventory and Operations Planning (SI&OP) — providing the data preparation, analysis support, and documentation assistance that enables GE’s regional leadership team to conduct effective monthly performance reviews, manage critical escalations with the urgency they require, and maintain the integrated demand-supply planning process that keeps GE’s gas turbine services operations running efficiently
AI Tools, Lean Processes & Continuous Improvement
- Work with experienced team members to learn and maintain existing operational processes while deploying new ones utilizing Lean and AI — applying the continuous improvement mindset and AI tool capability that the TareeGE program specifically develops, identifying the specific manual, repetitive, or error-prone processes in GE’s regional operations that Lean methodology or AI-assisted automation could make faster, more reliable, or more insightful
- Use understanding of basic LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude) and AI workflows to accelerate data analysis and reporting — applying AI assistant capability to drafting analysis narratives, generating initial report structures, exploring data patterns, and accelerating the documentation of operational findings in ways that improve productivity without compromising the accuracy and integrity of the analytical outputs that GE’s operational decision-making depends on
- Monitor key timelines for global critical activities on a day-to-day basis — maintaining visibility of the global schedule for critical activities that affect regional operations, including parts deliveries, technical support commitments, engineering update releases, and global operations reviews, proactively identifying timeline risks and escalating potential delays before they develop into operational problems
- Ensure timely follow-ups with KPI owners and drive positive results — maintaining the accountability and follow-through discipline that keeps GE’s operational KPI management process active and effective, tracking the status of open improvement actions, following up with KPI owners on overdue commitments, and contributing to the positive performance culture that makes GE’s regional operations team consistently deliver against its targets
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Stakeholder Communication
- Prepare communications to be shared with the regional team and stakeholders — producing the clear, well-structured, and professionally presented operational communications, briefings, and status updates that keep GE’s regional leadership, global counterparts, and cross-functional stakeholders accurately informed about operations performance, outage status, and critical issues
- Collaborate and partner with functions, stakeholders, and product owners across GE’s regional and global network — building the professional relationships, communication practices, and collaborative working habits that enable effective cross-functional coordination across the safety, quality, delivery, cost, and culture (SQDCC) dimensions of GE’s heavy duty gas turbine services operations in the UAE and MENA region
Qualifications & Requirements
Educational Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree from an accredited university in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Engineering, Data Science, Data Analysis, Artificial Intelligence, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative discipline — providing the analytical, technical, and quantitative foundation that GE’s TareeGE operations program requires
Experience & Profile
- Maximum 2 years of experience in a data reporting or data analysis role — fresh graduates and early-career professionals are specifically welcomed and encouraged to apply for this structured development program
- Proficiency in Excel with intermediate Power BI capability — the core reporting and visualization tools for GE’s day-to-day operational data management and performance reporting
