The Mid-Level Turbine Overhaul Supervisor is responsible for supervising mechanical overhaul work on steam and gas turbines during planned shutdowns, outages, and major inspections. The role involves managing technicians, enforcing quality and safety standards, and ensuring timely and efficient execution of overhaul activities in alignment with OEM procedures and operational targets.
Plan and supervise turbine overhauls, including disassembly, inspection, refurbishment, and reassembly of turbine components (rotors, blades, diaphragms, seals, bearings, etc.).
Coordinate and assign tasks to turbine technicians and contractors to ensure daily progress and adherence to work schedules.
Ensure that work is carried out in accordance with OEM manuals, plant procedures, and safety standards.
Monitor precision measurements, torqueing, alignment, and clearance checks during overhauls.
Lead toolbox talks and ensure that work teams follow safety protocols, LOTO, and confined space requirements.
Liaise with QA/QC inspectors for stage inspections, non-conformance reporting, and documentation.
Coordinate with planning, operations, and stores departments to ensure availability of manpower, tools, and materials.
Document all maintenance activities, measurements, inspection findings, and part replacements.
Report critical issues, deviations, and progress updates to the senior supervisor or maintenance engineer.
Support on-the-job training and mentoring for junior staff and technicians.
Lead the execution of turbine disassembly and reassembly with accuracy and control.
Ensure proper application of torque values, tolerances, and balance criteria.
Oversee stage inspections, material condition checks, and work sign-offs.
Ensure all findings are recorded and communicated in line with QA/QC requirements.
Manage daily schedules and activities during turbine outages to ensure critical path tasks stay on track.
Coordinate multiple crews and resources to avoid downtime or rework.
Enforce strict compliance with safety practices, including LOTO and confined space procedures.
Conduct risk assessments and participate in incident investigations if required.
Interface with OEM representatives, engineers, and field service advisors as required.
Ensure all component handling, storage, and installation meet OEM recommendations.
