Maintenance Manager – Turbine-Driven Systems (Propulsion and Power)

The Maintenance Manager for Turbine-Driven Systems is responsible for planning, executing, and optimizing maintenance strategies for gas and steam turbine propulsion and power generation systems onboard marine or offshore platforms. This role ensures maximum equipment availability, reliability, and operational efficiency while maintaining compliance with safety and regulatory standards such as ABS, USCG, and OEM specifications.

Key Responsibilities:

• • Lead and manage the maintenance activities for marine gas turbines, steam turbines, and associated propulsion/power transmission systems.

  • Develop and implement preventive and predictive maintenance programs using CMMS tools (e.g., Maximo, SAP, AMOS).

  • Supervise troubleshooting, diagnostics, and root cause analysis (RCA) for turbine system failures or performance degradation.

  • Coordinate overhauls, inspections, alignment checks, and vibration analyses on high-speed rotating components.

  • Ensure maintenance documentation, logs, and service records are accurately completed and stored.

  • Oversee spare parts inventory, procurement planning, and coordination with OEMs or suppliers.

  • Manage a multidisciplinary team of technicians, engineers, and subcontractors for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance events.

  • Enforce safety procedures, lockout/tagout (LOTO), confined space protocols, and hot work permitting.

  • Ensure compliance with maritime regulatory standards (e.g., IMO, SOLAS, ABS, USCG, ISO).

  • Provide technical support during sea trials, commissioning, or reactivation of turbine systems.

  • Analyze performance data to optimize system efficiency and reduce lifecycle costs.

  • Prepare maintenance budgets, reports, and downtime analytics for management review.

Key Focus Areas:

• • Gas and Steam Turbine Maintenance (Propulsion & Power Generation)

  • Reliability Engineering and Predictive Diagnostics (Vibration, Thermography, Oil Analysis)

  • Rotating Equipment Health Monitoring (BOP systems, gearboxes, lube oil skids)

  • Team Leadership and Scheduling in High-Reliability Environments

  • Shipyard Coordination or Offshore Maintenance Planning

Qualifications:

• • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Marine Engineering, or a related discipline.

  • Minimum 7–10 years of experience in turbine maintenance, including at least 3 in a supervisory or management role.

  • In-depth knowledge of marine propulsion and power turbine systems from OEMs like GE LM2500, Rolls-Royce, Siemens, or Mitsubishi.

  • Familiarity with Class Society standards and regulatory compliance (ABS, DNV, USCG, IMO).

  • CMMS proficiency and experience implementing reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) programs.

  • Valid maritime or offshore certifications (if required).

Preferred Skills:

• • OEM Training or Certification (e.g., GE, Siemens, Rolls-Royce MTU)

  • Project Management Certification (PMP or equivalent)

  • Experience in drydock, shipyard, or offshore field environments

  • Strong leadership, communication, and incident response skills

Work Environment:

• • Office, shipboard, drydock, or offshore installation settings

  • Requires occasional travel, shift work, or extended rotations depending on project or asset location
