Question:

does an electrical engineer operates on steam turbine or jet engine (or helps in its design)?

considering that he is specialised in power engineering or does he administers them.

Answer:

Electrical engineers would be primarily interested in the driven equipment namely the generators. They might be involved to a slight degree in the design of engines and turbines but not to the extent that a mechanical engineer would.
Turbine engines (either steam of fuel-injected) are mechanical parts and not electrical parts. A electrical engineer will be working on the generator that is attached to this systems. They will also work on the transmission of that power (Transformers and all that good stuff!).
