The Future of Clean Energy is HERE

The world is changing faster than ever. The need for power is increasing. That power simply must be carbon free for our planet, affordable because people’s lives depend on it, and available when they need it most. The energy transition has begun and there is no team better equipped to lead it than GE. Did you know that more than half of the carbon free power generated in the U.S. today comes from nuclear power? Our team’s mission is to find new ways to sustain this existing carbon-free power generation and also create a new kind of nuclear power that’s low cost, quick to build, and integrates with wind and solar to store excess clean energy. And we are well on our way to achieving this mission. This is where you come in. Boldly innovating to provide carbon free power to the world requires the brightest talent, the strongest teams, and the best ideas. People like you. At GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, our secret sauce is the blending of deep expertise with groundbreaking innovation. We value innovation and creativity through a collection of diverse perspectives, and we are dedicated to a culture that doesn’t just allow for different ideas, but expects them. This is the place where you can be yourself and succeed. We won’t solve the energy transition alone. Ready to bring vital carbon-free power to the world? Come join us.
