The Turbine Instrumentation Supervisor is responsible for planning, coordinating, and supervising all instrumentation maintenance activities related to gas, steam, or combined-cycle turbines. This includes overseeing a team of technicians, ensuring adherence to safety and quality standards, troubleshooting complex issues, and coordinating with control room and maintenance departments during outages, startups, and normal operations.
Team Supervision & Task Allocation – Lead turbine instrumentation technicians, assign tasks, and ensure safe, efficient execution.
Maintenance Planning – Plan preventive and corrective maintenance activities for all turbine instrumentation systems.
Technical Oversight – Ensure the accuracy of calibration, installation, testing, and loop checks for critical turbine instruments.
Outage & Commissioning Support – Supervise turbine instrumentation work during major shutdowns and commissioning.
Compliance & Documentation – Ensure all instrumentation activities follow OEM guidelines, safety regulations, and are properly documented.
Supervise maintenance and calibration of turbine sensors, transmitters, actuators, vibration systems, and control valves.
Coordinate with control system engineers for DCS/PLC integration and testing of turbine control loops.
Monitor turbine instrumentation health and support root cause analysis of any failures or anomalies.
Ensure that job safety analysis (JSA), work permits, and lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures are followed at all times.
Review and approve instrument calibration certificates, loop test reports, and maintenance logs.
Lead toolbox talks, ensure team readiness, and conduct field inspections to verify quality and safety compliance.
Liaise with OEM representatives during turbine inspections and commissioning.
Diploma or Degree in Instrumentation, Control Systems, or Electrical Engineering.
6–10 years of experience in turbine instrumentation maintenance, including at least 2–3 years in a supervisory role.
Strong knowledge of turbine OEM systems (e.g., GE, Siemens, Mitsubishi) and vibration monitoring systems (e.g., Bently Nevada).
Familiar with industry standards (ISA, IEC, API) and control system architectures (DCS, PLC, SCADA).
Strong leadership, planning, and team coordination skills.
Advanced understanding of turbine instrumentation components and control logic.
Proficiency in instrumentation diagnostics, testing, and calibration.
High commitment to safety, compliance, and documentation accuracy.
Good communication and technical reporting abilities.
