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.
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.
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.
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.
Support field testing, start-up, and performance verification of rotating machinery.
Collaborate with vendors and field staff during acceptance testing and troubleshooting.
