• Troubleshoot operational and mechanical problems related to turbine units and auxiliary systems.

• Provide technical assistance during start-ups, shutdowns, and abnormal operating conditions.

Maintenance & Asset Management:

• Develop and refine preventive and predictive maintenance programs for turbine systems.

• Assist with major overhauls, inspections, and repairs in coordination with OEMs and contractors.

• Recommend spare part strategies, upgrades, and system improvements based on condition assessments.

Performance & Reliability Analysis:

• Conduct vibration analysis, thermodynamic assessments, and efficiency evaluations to enhance reliability.

• Support root cause failure analysis (RCFA) for turbine-related breakdowns or deviations.

• Identify areas for performance improvement and support implementation of enhancements.

Project & Documentation Support:

• Participate in planning and execution of turbine-related projects and upgrades.

• Ensure that engineering documentation, such as drawings, manuals, and logs, are up to date and accessible.

• Assist in budget estimation and technical evaluations for turbine-related work scopes.

Compliance & Safety:

• Ensure all turbine work adheres to applicable safety standards, industry codes (e.g., API, ASME), and regulatory requirements.

• Participate in HAZOPs, risk assessments, and turbine-specific safety reviews.

• Support site-wide initiatives for process safety and asset integrity.

Key Focus Areas:

• Turbine performance diagnostics and reliability

• Preventive and corrective maintenance planning

• Operational troubleshooting and technical support

• Cross-functional collaboration and reporting

Qualifications and Skills:
