The Mid-Level Boiler Engineer is responsible for independently managing the performance, reliability, and maintenance of boiler systems, ensuring compliance with engineering standards and plant safety. This role supports outage planning, root cause analysis, and engineering improvement projects focused on efficient steam generation and pressure equipment performance.
Monitor and analyze boiler performance metrics (efficiency, emissions, steam output, fuel ratio).
Lead troubleshooting of issues related to combustion, heat transfer, boiler feedwater systems, and auxiliary equipment.
Develop and review preventive and predictive maintenance plans for boilers and pressure systems.
Coordinate outage work scopes, inspection schedules, and repair planning with maintenance and contractors.
Ensure compliance with ASME Boiler Code (Sections I, IV), NBIC, and local regulatory requirements.
Conduct boiler efficiency improvement projects and propose technical upgrades or modifications.
Analyze boiler failure modes (e.g., tube leaks, corrosion, fouling) and recommend corrective actions.
Support commissioning and testing of new boiler equipment or retrofits.
Maintain and update engineering documentation, including P&IDs, technical drawings, and O&M manuals.
Collaborate with operations, EHS, and instrumentation teams to ensure safe and reliable operations.
Boiler Performance Optimization
Identify efficiency improvement opportunities through data analysis and operational fine-tuning.
Maintenance & Reliability Engineering
Lead root cause investigations of mechanical issues and support corrective/preventive actions.
Code Compliance & Technical Documentation
Ensure alignment with ASME, NBIC, and regulatory codes in boiler operations and maintenance practices.
Outage Planning & Execution Support
Coordinate boiler inspections, shutdown work scopes, and post-maintenance performance validation.
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Power Engineering, or related field.
3–7 years of experience in boiler engineering within power plants, process industries, or utilities.
In-depth understanding of boiler components, steam cycles, thermodynamics, and combustion processes.
Familiarity with ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code (Sections I, IV, V, IX) and NBIC.
