The Senior Mechanical Supervisor – Steam Generation Systems leads the planning, coordination, and execution of mechanical maintenance for steam-generating equipment. This includes boilers, pressure parts, feedwater systems, and associated piping networks. The role is pivotal in maintaining high system reliability, ensuring code compliance, and leading maintenance teams during critical operations and outages.
Lead and supervise maintenance activities on all major steam generation components including superheaters, economizers, waterwalls, steam drums, valves, and feedwater systems.
Manage the execution of preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance strategies for steam generation systems.
Plan and coordinate major overhauls, shutdowns, and retrofits of boilers and steam equipment.
Ensure compliance with ASME BPVC Sections I, V, and IX, as well as NBIC and site-specific mechanical integrity requirements.
Review inspection reports and coordinate NDT (UT, PT, MT, RT) and hydrostatic testing of pressure parts.
Develop and implement reliability improvement initiatives such as root cause analysis (RCA) and failure mode analysis (FMEA).
Oversee contractor and in-house maintenance teams; ensure execution quality, schedule adherence, and safety compliance.
Support budgeting, manpower planning, spares forecasting, and equipment life-cycle assessments.
Maintain detailed records in CMMS (e.g., SAP, Maximo) and contribute to audit and compliance reporting.
Mentor junior and mid-level supervisors and technicians, fostering a culture of safety, discipline, and technical excellence.
Leadership in Maintenance Execution
Direct complex field maintenance and repair activities for critical steam systems with minimal downtime.
Code Compliance & QA/QC Oversight
Ensure all work is compliant with ASME/NBIC standards and internal quality systems.
Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM)
Drive initiatives to reduce failures, extend equipment life, and improve system efficiency.
Workforce Development & Team Coordination
Lead multi-disciplinary teams, including training and performance supervision.
Outage & Turnaround Management
Plan and lead mechanical scope during major boiler outages and inspections.
Bachelor’s Degree or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Power Plant Engineering, or equivalent.
10+ years of experience in mechanical maintenance of steam generation systems, with at least 3–5 years in a supervisory or senior lead role.
In-depth understanding of high-pressure boiler systems, failure mechanisms (creep, corrosion, fatigue), and pressure part integrity management.
Hands-on experience with field repair methods including pressure part welding, tube replacement, and valve maintenance.
Proficient in interpreting P&IDs, isometrics, weld maps, and OEM technical documents.
Knowledge of API 510, ASME Section IX, AWS CWI, or NBIC R-Stamp workflows.
Proficiency in using CMMS tools (SAP PM, Maximo) and maintenance planning software.
Strong communication, leadership, and project coordination skills.
Exposure to digital inspection and monitoring tools (e.g., thermal imaging, ultrasonic thickness testing).
