   • Support the commissioning process by assisting in the installation, calibration, and start-up of new turbine systems.
   • Help troubleshoot issues during testing and commissioning phases, providing assistance in resolving mechanical or electrical problems.

4. Maintenance and Troubleshooting:

   • Assist in the routine inspection and maintenance of turbines, identifying potential issues such as wear, corrosion, or performance degradation.
   • Help troubleshoot turbine-related problems and assist senior engineers in performing repairs and replacements of components.
   • Learn to use diagnostic tools (e.g., vibration analyzers, thermography cameras) to monitor turbine health and predict potential failures.

5. Technical Documentation:

   • Support in preparing technical reports, operation manuals, and maintenance documentation for turbines.
   • Help document test results, maintenance activities, and repair procedures to ensure proper record-keeping and compliance with industry standards.
   • Assist in creating manuals and guidelines for operators and maintenance teams to ensure safe and efficient turbine operation.

6. Collaboration with Cross-Functional Teams:

   • Work closely with other engineering disciplines, including electrical, mechanical, and control engineers, to ensure turbine systems are integrated effectively into larger projects.
   • Participate in team meetings and design reviews to discuss turbine performance, project progress, and technical challenges.
   • Communicate with production and operations teams to ensure turbine systems meet operational requirements and client expectations.

7. Learning and Development:

   • Continuously develop knowledge of turbine systems, engineering principles, and industry best practices under the guidance of senior engineers.
   • Participate in training sessions, workshops, and industry seminars to stay updated on new turbine technologies, materials, and software tools.
