The Junior Vibration Monitoring Technician assists in the collection of vibration data and basic condition monitoring tasks on rotating machinery such as turbines, compressors, pumps, and motors. Under the guidance of senior staff, the technician will learn to use vibration monitoring tools and develop foundational skills in predictive maintenance and reliability practices.
Assist in routine data collection using handheld or wireless vibration monitoring equipment (e.g., vibration analyzers, data loggers).
Perform basic visual inspections of machinery to detect abnormalities such as noise, leaks, or overheating.
Upload collected vibration data to analysis systems under supervision.
Maintain tools and monitoring equipment in proper working condition.
Tag, label, and track machines as per the route schedule and monitoring plan.
Support documentation of collected data and observations in logs or databases.
Participate in safety toolbox talks and follow site-specific safety protocols.
Coordinate with maintenance teams for access to equipment and scheduling.
Attend technical training on vibration basics, safety, and condition monitoring tools.
Learn and follow routes to collect vibration and temperature data from rotating equipment using portable devices.
Gain proficiency in operating and maintaining vibration monitoring tools and handheld devices.
Identify and report unusual sounds, vibrations, or temperatures during inspections.
Adhere to PPE, lockout-tagout (LOTO), and plant safety procedures during data collection rounds.
Understand the fundamentals of vibration analysis, frequency ranges, and machine condition indicators through hands-on practice and training.
