Turbomachinery Engineer – Water Applications

Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

The Mid-Level Turbomachinery Engineer – Water Applications is responsible for supporting and executing engineering tasks related to the design, selection, performance evaluation, and troubleshooting of rotating equipment—including pumps, turbines, blowers, and compressors—used in water treatment and water-energy recovery systems. The role includes both design office responsibilities and field engagement across various infrastructure projects.


Key Responsibilities:

Design and Technical Support

  • Lead technical specifications, sizing, and selection of pumps, blowers, and turbines for new installations and upgrades.

  • Review mechanical design packages, equipment layouts, and performance curves for compliance and optimization.

Performance Analysis and Diagnostics

  • Conduct energy efficiency analysis, flow simulations, and operating condition reviews for pump-turbine systems.

  • Analyze vibration, temperature, and pressure data to assess equipment health and predict failures.

Project Engineering

  • Participate in turbomachinery procurement, installation planning, and system integration in treatment plants and pumping stations.

  • Coordinate with cross-functional teams (mechanical, electrical, civil, controls) for integrated equipment operations.

Testing and Commissioning

  • Support field testing, start-up, and performance verification of rotating machinery.

  • Collaborate with vendors and field staff during acceptance testing and troubleshooting.


Key Focus Areas:

  1. Engineering Support for Pump-Turbine Equipment in Water Utilities

  2. Rotating Equipment Performance Analysis and Troubleshooting

  3. Specification and Selection of Energy Recovery and Flow Equipment

  4. Field Support for Installation, Testing, and Commissioning

  5. Energy Optimization and Efficiency Improvement Projects

  6. Collaboration with Multi-Disciplinary Teams Across Projects


Qualifications & Experience:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline (Master’s preferred)

  • 3–6 years of experience in turbomachinery, preferably in water, power, or utility infrastructure

  • Solid understanding of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and rotating equipment design principles

  • Experience with engineering software (ANSYS, EES, SolidWorks, MATLAB) for modeling and analysis

  • Familiarity with standards such as API, ISO, ASME, and hydraulic institute guidelines


Skills & Competencies:

  • Strong analytical and technical problem-solving skills

  • Experience working in water utilities, hydropower, or infrastructure environments

  • Effective communication and collaboration across engineering and field teams

  • Ability to manage time across multiple projects and meet performance deadlines

  • Attention to detail with a mindset for continuous improvement and energy efficiency
