The Mid-Level Shipping and Packaging Specialist is responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing export crating and preservation activities for gas and steam turbines and related heavy equipment. This role ensures turbine components are packed, preserved, and labeled according to project specifications, international shipping regulations, and customer requirements to prevent damage and corrosion during transit and long-term storage.
Design and supervise the fabrication of export crates for high-value and oversized turbine equipment in line with international standards (e.g., ISPM-15, ASTM D6251, MIL-STD-2073).
Implement packaging plans tailored to component type, transport mode, and final destination (land, sea, or air).
Apply corrosion prevention and preservation techniques including vapor corrosion inhibitors (VCI), desiccants, shrink wrapping, internal blanketing, and oil/fluid sealing.
Verify and document the condition of each item pre- and post-packaging for quality assurance and traceability.
