The Mid-Level Turbine Instrument Technician is responsible for the maintenance, calibration, and troubleshooting of instrumentation associated with gas and steam turbine systems. This role requires hands-on expertise in handling temperature, pressure, speed, and vibration instrumentation used for monitoring and controlling turbine performance.
Instrumentation Maintenance – Perform calibration, testing, and preventive maintenance of turbine-related instruments.
System Troubleshooting – Diagnose signal faults, sensor malfunctions, and control feedback issues in turbine instrumentation loops.
DCS/PLC Integration Support – Verify field instrumentation communication with turbine control systems (Mark VIe, T3000, Ovation, etc.).
Shutdown & Turnaround Activities – Participate in turbine outages, perform loop checks, and support equipment commissioning.
Documentation & Compliance – Maintain calibration records, update loop files, and follow OEM and plant safety standards.
Maintain and calibrate sensors such as thermocouples, RTDs, pressure and differential transmitters, vibration probes, speed pickups, and servo valves.
Perform loop checks and verify instrument signal integrity from field to control system.
Troubleshoot instrumentation issues affecting turbine startup, performance, or trip logic.
Assist in configuring or replacing instrument transmitters and positioners on control valves, actuators, and fuel control systems.
Interpret P&IDs, wiring diagrams, and turbine control schematics.
Support senior technicians and engineers during plant commissioning and testing phases.
Follow all safety guidelines during work near high-temperature, high-pressure rotating equipment.
Diploma in Instrumentation, Electronics, or Electrical Engineering.
3–6 years of hands-on experience in turbine instrumentation maintenance (gas or steam turbines).
Familiarity with control system platforms such as GE Mark VIe, Siemens T3000, ABB Symphony, or Emerson Ovation.
Good understanding of industrial instrumentation standards and best practices (ISA/IEC).
Skilled in field calibration and use of test tools (multimeter, loop calibrator, vibration analyzer).
Strong troubleshooting skills for signal and logic path diagnostics.
