• Develop and review equipment specifications, data sheets, calculations, technical standards, and design requirements for new installations, upgrades, and replacement projects.

• Analyze rotating equipment performance, operating conditions, and reliability data to identify improvement opportunities and reduce downtime.

• Support troubleshooting and root cause failure analysis related to vibration, misalignment, imbalance, seal leakage, lubrication issues, bearing failures, and other mechanical concerns.

• Collaborate with operations, maintenance, reliability, project teams, and vendors to resolve equipment issues and improve asset performance.

• Participate in equipment selection, design review, procurement support, vendor document review, factory testing, installation planning, and commissioning activities.

• Review drawings, schematics, manuals, inspection findings, and technical reports to ensure compliance with project requirements and applicable engineering standards.

• Support preventive, predictive, and condition-based maintenance strategies by recommending inspection plans, monitoring practices, and performance improvements.

• Prepare technical reports, reliability summaries, engineering recommendations, and documentation related to rotating equipment performance and corrective actions.

• Promote safe, reliable, and efficient operation of rotating assets by supporting engineering standards, continuous improvement, and sound mechanical integrity practices.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related engineering field required.

• Previous experience in rotating equipment engineering, mechanical design, reliability engineering, plant engineering, or a related industrial engineering role preferred.

• Strong knowledge of pumps, compressors, turbines, motors, blowers, gearboxes, bearings, seals, lubrication systems, and rotating equipment fundamentals.

• Ability to interpret and develop technical specifications, data sheets, drawings, calculations, and engineering documentation.

• Familiarity with vibration analysis, alignment concepts, failure analysis, condition monitoring, and reliability improvement practices is preferred.

• Knowledge of applicable engineering codes, standards, and safe work practices relevant to industrial rotating equipment is preferred.

• Strong analytical, communication, documentation, and problem-solving skills with the ability to support cross-functional teams and technical decision-making.

• Professional Engineer licensure, EIT certification, reliability certification, or industry-specific credentials may be preferred depending on the organization and role scope.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is analytical, technically capable, and detail-oriented, with strong problem-solving ability and sound engineering judgment. They communicate clearly, collaborate effectively across teams, and take a practical approach to improving the safety, reliability, and performance of rotating equipment.

Work Environment
