We are looking for a technically curious and detail-oriented Junior Turbomachinery Engineer to support the engineering, operation, and maintenance of gas and steam turbines used in power generation and industrial applications. The role involves providing assistance in diagnostics, design review, inspection support, and system documentation under the guidance of senior engineers.
This is an excellent entry point for engineers seeking to build a foundation in turbomachinery systems, rotating equipment reliability, and thermodynamic performance analysis.
Assist in the evaluation of turbine components including rotors, blades, seals, casings, bearings, and diaphragms.
Support troubleshooting of mechanical and performance issues by analyzing vibration, temperature, and pressure data.
Participate in reviewing engineering drawings, OEM manuals, and technical specifications.
Help collect and analyze turbine operational data including output, efficiency, and thermal performance.
Assist in tracking performance indicators and degradation trends over time.
Participate in start-up/shutdown assessments and prepare observation logs.
Participate in turbine inspections, borescope evaluations, and field overhauls under supervision.
Assist with planning preventive maintenance and preparing maintenance documentation.
Document findings during inspections and update maintenance history records.
Prepare and maintain technical reports, drawings, parts lists, and maintenance logs.
Support the creation of engineering change requests, repair documentation, and inspection reports.
Work closely with senior engineers, operations staff, reliability teams, and OEM representatives.
Engage with cross-disciplinary teams such as controls, instrumentation, and piping engineering.
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field.
Coursework or internship in thermodynamics, turbomachinery, or fluid mechanics is a plus.
0–3 years of experience in rotating equipment, turbine systems, or relevant internship/co-op experience.
Familiarity with gas or steam turbine systems is preferred but not required.
Basic knowledge of thermodynamic cycles (Brayton and/or Rankine).
Familiarity with CAD tools (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidWorks) and basic engineering calculations.
Exposure to condition monitoring tools (e.g., vibration, oil analysis) is a plus.
Understanding of engineering documentation and mechanical component design.
Eagerness to learn and develop practical technical skills
Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking
Effective communication and collaboration abilities
Attention to detail and a commitment to safety and reliability
