Turbomachinery Overhaul Technician

Picture this: you arrive to find a detailed work scope for a critical turbine and its companion compressor. You walk the floor, assess the rigging plan, gather the right drawings and procedures, and coordinate tooling. By midday, you’ve executed a safe lift, documented every step, and begun the teardown. Indicators, micrometers, calipers, and gauges are at the ready—each clearance recorded with precision. Before your shift ends, you’ve aligned a rotor, updated the photo log, and briefed the next team so continuity never skips a beat.

What you’ll do

• Champion safety and quality in every decision and action.
• Plan and oversee repair work with limited supervision, keeping projects on schedule.
• Disassemble, inspect, repair, replace, reassemble, align, install, and move rotating equipment, including compressors and turbines.
• Alter and overhaul rotors, turbines, disc and blade holders, shafts, sleeves, gears, and couplings using appropriate tooling and processes.
• Interpret and apply drawings, sketches, work scopes, procedures, specifications, and verbal instructions.
• Set up all equipment and fixtures required to complete assigned jobs.
• Measure with advanced accuracy using micrometers, indicators, calipers, and specialized gauges; record all critical clearances and dimensions.
• Understand and process turbomachinery documentation, including inspection reports, photo logs, and hold tags.
• Operate lifting and material-handling equipment with expertise: rigging, cranes, and forklifts.
• Maintain a clean, organized workspace and a professional demeanor with internal and external customers.
• Work collaboratively within a team and also independently with minimal direction.
• Train and mentor other team members on repair processes and procedures.
• Document actions, irregularities, and ongoing needs to ensure continuity across work shifts.
• Stay current on best practices and accept ownership of results.
