Mechanical Supervisor – Steam Generation Systems

Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

The Mid-Level Mechanical Supervisor – Steam Generation Systems is responsible for supervising the maintenance, repair, and performance monitoring of steam generation equipment, including boilers, feedwater systems, steam piping, and associated auxiliaries. This role ensures operational reliability, safety compliance, and supports equipment availability during routine operation and planned shutdowns.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Supervise preventive and corrective maintenance activities on boilers (fire-tube, water-tube, HRSG), economizers, deaerators, steam piping, and valves.

  • Lead mechanical troubleshooting and root cause analysis (RCA) for steam generation issues such as tube failures, leakages, or scaling.

  • Coordinate with operations, planning, and inspection teams to execute planned outages and equipment overhauls.

  • Review and interpret technical drawings, mechanical schematics, and OEM manuals for proper repair execution.

  • Ensure adherence to ASME BPVC (Sections I, II, V, IX), NBIC codes, and plant-specific mechanical integrity standards.

  • Maintain CMMS records, job completion reports, and spares inventory relevant to steam generation systems.

  • Supervise and train junior technicians and contractors during field work.

  • Support implementation of reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) strategies and condition-based monitoring (CBM) practices.

  • Monitor compliance with all safety standards, including permit-to-work systems, LOTO, hot work, and confined space entry.

  • Participate in equipment performance evaluation and system upgrades as required.


Key Focus Areas:

  1. Maintenance Supervision

    • Direct day-to-day mechanical maintenance and minor project activities for steam generation systems.

  2. Boiler System Reliability

    • Monitor and maintain operational health of high-pressure components and support degradation mitigation efforts.

  3. Compliance & Documentation

    • Ensure maintenance practices comply with regulatory codes and are well-documented within CMMS.

  4. Team Development & Field Execution

    • Supervise field personnel and promote adherence to safety, technical accuracy, and efficiency.


Qualifications:

  • Diploma or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Power Plant Technology, or relevant field.

  • 5–8 years of experience in mechanical maintenance of steam generation systems, preferably in thermal power, utility, or process industries.

  • Strong knowledge of boiler operations, steam generation processes, and associated mechanical systems.

  • Experience with CMMS tools (SAP, Maximo) for maintenance tracking and planning.

  • Ability to interpret technical drawings, piping layouts, and ASME/NBIC guidelines.


Preferred Skills:

  • Exposure to high-pressure boiler systems, superheaters, and economizers.

  • Familiarity with API 510, ASME Section IX, or NBIC R-Stamp work environments.

  • Hands-on experience with NDT coordination, welding supervision, or hydro testing.

  • Strong organizational and leadership skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks concurrently.
