The Junior Steam Turbine Technician assists in the inspection, maintenance, and alignment of steam turbine systems and associated mechanical components. Under the supervision of senior technicians or engineers, the role supports planned and corrective maintenance activities in both workshop and field environments. The technician will gain experience in disassembly, alignment, and reassembly procedures for rotating machinery.

Key Responsibilities:

• • Assist in disassembly and reassembly of steam turbine rotors, diaphragms, casings, and auxiliary components.

  • Support alignment tasks using dial indicators, laser alignment tools, or precision measurement techniques under guidance.

  • Perform basic inspection tasks (e.g., visual checks, cleaning, dimensional verification) on turbine parts.

  • Prepare work areas, tools, and components for turbine maintenance tasks.

  • Apply torque sequences, gasket fitting, and coupling connections per instruction.

  • Document work performed, measurements taken, and support the completion of maintenance records.

  • Follow safety procedures and wear required personal protective equipment (PPE) at all times.

  • Assist in rigging, lifting, and handling of heavy components with cranes or hoists.

  • Maintain cleanliness of work areas and ensure tools are accounted for and returned after tasks.

  • Learn from experienced technicians and attend on-the-job training related to turbine systems and alignment practices.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• • Technical Diploma or Certificate in Mechanical Engineering or Industrial Maintenance.

  • 0–2 years of relevant experience in mechanical maintenance or rotating equipment servicing.

  • Basic understanding of mechanical systems, rotating machinery, or thermodynamic equipment.

  • Familiarity with hand tools, measuring tools (calipers, micrometers), and basic mechanical practices.

  • Willingness to learn turbine-specific tools and alignment techniques.

  • Good communication skills and ability to work in a team environment.

  • Physically fit and capable of working in industrial environments, including confined spaces and elevated platforms.

Preferred Qualifications:

• • Internship or hands-on training in turbine or rotating equipment maintenance.

  • Exposure to power plants, industrial workshops, or utility facilities.

  • Basic understanding of mechanical drawings and technical manuals.

Working Conditions:

• • Work is performed in industrial environments, power stations, or on-site project locations.

  • Exposure to heat, noise, and moving machinery; use of PPE is mandatory.

  • May involve shift work, overtime, or travel to support field maintenance assignments.
