As a Junior Mechanical Engineer – Power Plant, you will support the design, operation, maintenance, and reliability of mechanical systems in a thermal or combined-cycle power plant. Under close supervision, you’ll gain hands-on experience across rotating and static equipment—turbines, boilers/HRSGs, pumps, heat exchangers—and help ensure safe, efficient plant performance.
Technical Support & Drafting
Assist in preparing basic mechanical drawings, datasheets, and piping layouts for plant systems.
Update and maintain equipment design files, P&IDs, and GA drawings.
Routine Inspections & Data Collection
Participate in field rounds to inspect turbines, pumps, valves, and heat exchangers for leaks, vibration, and abnormal noise.
Record operating parameters (temperatures, pressures, flow rates) and log data in CMMS.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting Assistance
Support preventive-maintenance activities: lubrication, filter changes, alignment checks, and minor repairs under guidance.
Help collect failure data and assist in basic root-cause analysis for equipment issues.
Performance Monitoring & Reporting
Compile weekly reports on equipment health, downtime incidents, and maintenance metrics.
Assist in analyzing simple trends (e.g., vibration spikes, temperature rises) to flag potential concerns.
Project & Modification Support
Aid senior engineers in small-scale projects (e.g., pump replacements, piping modifications) by coordinating materials and tracking progress.
Liaise with vendors to gather technical specifications and ensure compliance with plant standards.
Safety & Compliance
Follow all HSE protocols (LOTO, confined-space entry, PPE) during inspection and maintenance tasks.
Ensure work adheres to relevant codes and site procedures.
Build foundational knowledge of steam/gas turbine cycles, boiler operation, and auxiliary systems through on-the-job training.
Focus on precise recording of operating and maintenance data to support reliability decisions.
Develop proficiency with alignment tools, basic hand-tools, and measurement instruments under mentorship.
Contribute to simple condition-monitoring tasks (visual checks, basic vibration readings) and learn to interpret early warning signs.
Work closely with Operations, Maintenance, and Engineering teams to understand plant processes and support integrated solutions.
Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline
Experience: 0–2 years (internships or co-op experience in power-plant or rotating equipment maintenance a plus)
Certifications: Basic safety and permit training (e.g., confined-space, LOTO) preferred
Strong eagerness to learn and adapt in a fast-paced industrial environment
Basic understanding of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics
Good communication, teamwork, and organization skills
Familiarity with MS Office and willingness to learn CMMS tools
Attention to detail and commitment to safety
On-site role with regular field work in turbine halls, boiler rooms, and mechanical workshops
May involve shift rotations, extended hours during outages, and PPE use at all times
Exposure to heat, noise, and moving equipment; strict adherence to safety protocols required
