Mechanical Supervisor – Steam Generation Systems

The Junior Mechanical Supervisor – Steam Generation Systems assists in supervising the maintenance and mechanical integrity of steam generation equipment including boilers, feedwater systems, steam piping, and related auxiliaries. This role supports senior supervisors in ensuring safe, efficient, and compliant operations of high-pressure steam systems within thermal power or industrial environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in supervising maintenance tasks on boilers, superheaters, economizers, feed pumps, and steam lines.

• Support routine inspections, leak detection, mechanical troubleshooting, and minor repair activities.

• Coordinate with technicians and contractors for daily field activities under guidance.

• Monitor and record equipment parameters; report abnormalities to senior supervisors.

• Ensure tools and safety equipment are used correctly during mechanical work.

• Participate in the execution of preventive maintenance programs for steam generation assets.

• Support safety protocols including work permits, LOTO, and confined space entry.

• Maintain basic records of work orders, inspection results, and spares usage.

• Assist during minor outages or shutdowns involving steam system components.

• Build foundational knowledge of steam system operations and pressure part behavior.

Key Focus Areas:

1. Mechanical Supervision Support

   • Help coordinate day-to-day maintenance and operational support of steam generation equipment.

2. Safety & Compliance Awareness

   • Follow and promote safe work practices in line with plant safety guidelines and permit systems.

3. Equipment Monitoring & Reporting

   • Perform visual checks and assist in data logging to support early fault detection.

4. Learning & Development

   • Gain working knowledge of ASME codes, system drawings, and thermal-mechanical behavior of steam systems.

Qualifications:

• Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Power Engineering, or related discipline.

• 0–2 years of experience in steam plant operations, boiler maintenance, or utility equipment.

• Basic understanding of steam cycles, boiler components, and mechanical maintenance principles.

• Familiarity with safety procedures and industrial maintenance tools.

• Good communication, teamwork, and willingness to learn.

Preferred Skills:

• Internship or industrial training in a thermal power plant or steam-based process facility.

• Exposure to CMMS tools (e.g., SAP, Maximo) and mechanical drawings.

• Basic understanding of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) Sections I and II.
