The Electrification Systems segment also includes two other business units:

(i) Power Conversion, which provides energy conversion systems and services across the power value chain from generation to consumption, working at the heart of customer domain expertise;

(ii) Solar & Storage Solutions, which offers a broad portfolio of renewable technologies that can be integrated to develop solar & storage projects, requiring sophisticated expertise and capabilities.

• Conducting training and providing updates on EHS-related legal and regulatory developments and risks;
• Working closely with other functional teams (e.g., quality, EHS, sourcing, compliance, litigation) to support related matters and coordinating with other EHS lawyers in GE Vernova to implement best practices and provide strategic advice.

The role involves some travel worldwide.
