Job Description Summary

GE Vernova is looking for a high-achieving student to join our team at the intersection of cyber security, software engineering, and critical energy infrastructure. You will support the deployment and security of platforms that manage the modern digital electricity grid.

Who we are
At GE Vernova’s Grid Software business, we are the architects of the modern energy grid. Our software solutions, including ADMS and DERMS, act as the "brain" of the grid, allowing utilities to manage the unprecedented complexity of renewable energy integration, battery storage, and distributed resources. We don't just build software; we provide the critical intelligence that keeps the lights on, ensures grid stability, and accelerates the global transition to a sustainable, decarbonized future. Join us and work on the technology that is literally powering the world’s transition to net-zero.

Why this role matters : The energy transition is digital. You will move beyond theory to help implement secure software solutions within Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS)—the technology driving the future of electricity.

Job Description

What you’ll do:

• Secure the Grid: Integrate cyber security into CI/CD pipelines and software lifecycles.
• Build & Deploy: Support the configuration and implementation of utility-grade software.
• Collaborate: Work alongside expert engineers to identify risks and automate operational efficiency.
• Bridge the Gap: Gain hands-on exposure to how software platforms interact with Operational Technology (OT) and IT environments.

What we’re looking for:

• Availability: Ability to commit for a minimum of 6 months, working either 3 days per week during the semester or 5 days per week during semester breaks.
• Academic Excellence: Currently enrolled in Computer Science, Engineering, or IT, with a minimum 75% WAM. Those currently enrolled in a double degree in these disciplines will also be considered.
• Experience: Previous cyber security vacation work or internship experience within a utility, electricity, energy, or critical-infrastructure organisation would be advantageous.
• Technical Curiosity: Strong interest in DevSecOps, DERMS, and grid-management technology is essential.

Bonus points:

• Experience with Git, CI/CD, Python/Bash, Docker/Kubernetes, or Cloud platforms.
• Knowledge of OT/ICS security or SCADA systems.

Additional Details:

Application: Please submit your CV and a short statement (max 1 page) covering:

• Your previous utility/energy sector cyber security experience would be an advantage
• Your specific interest in DevSecOps and grid modernisation.
• Your availability (e.g., 3 days or 5 days per week) and career goals.

As GE Vernova is a global organization, working across different time zones, and monitoring, reading and responding to contact outside normal working hours can be expected.
