We are seeking a skilled and motivated Mid-Level Turbomachinery Engineer to support the operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and performance optimization of gas and steam turbine systems. The ideal candidate will have solid technical knowledge of turbomachinery, rotating components, and plant processes, along with hands-on experience in diagnostics and outage support.
This role plays a key part in improving turbine reliability and efficiency while ensuring compliance with industry standards and OEM specifications.
Provide day-to-day engineering support for gas and steam turbines including monitoring, diagnostics, and technical troubleshooting.
Analyze operational data to detect performance degradation, inefficiencies, or early signs of failure.
Collaborate with operations teams to optimize turbine output, startup procedures, and operating windows.
Conduct and interpret vibration analysis, borescope inspections, and thermodynamic assessments.
Assist in developing and executing inspection plans during planned outages and forced shutdowns.
Monitor critical parameters such as bearing temperatures, rotor axial displacement, and seal performance.
Prepare scopes of work, inspection checklists, and parts lists for turbine maintenance.
Support or lead turbine overhauls, alignments, and field repair activities.
Coordinate with OEMs and contractors to ensure technical compliance and quality execution.
Perform basic to intermediate thermodynamic modeling and performance simulations (e.g., cycle efficiency, output curves).
Support root cause failure analysis (RCFA) and contribute to continuous improvement of maintenance practices.
Recommend upgrades, retrofits, or operational adjustments to improve turbine performance and availability.
Create and maintain technical documentation including engineering reports, failure analyses, and maintenance records.
Review and update turbine drawings, P&IDs, and BOMs as needed.
Work cross-functionally with controls, instrumentation, piping, electrical, and project engineering teams.
Support reliability initiatives, asset integrity reviews, and risk-based maintenance strategies.
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
Advanced certifications in vibration analysis, condition monitoring, or turbomachinery (preferred but not required).
3–7 years of relevant experience in turbine engineering or rotating equipment, ideally within power generation, oil & gas, or OEM services.
Exposure to equipment from OEMs such as GE, Siemens, Alstom, Mitsubishi, or Solar Turbines.
Strong understanding of thermodynamic cycles (Brayton, Rankine), mechanical systems, and component wear.
Familiarity with condition monitoring tools (e.g., Bently Nevada, ADRE, SKF).
Proficiency in engineering tools such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or ANSYS.
Basic knowledge of ASME, API, and OEM technical standards.
Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
Effective communication and technical report writing
Ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team
Detail-oriented with a commitment to safety and reliability
