Machinery technicians perform various roles, including performing routine and detailed vibration analysis using specialized tools. The primary goal is to identify potential issues with machinery, allowing for proactive maintenance and reducing downtime.
These professionals conduct on-site balancing of rotating equipment, ensuring smooth operation and extending the lifespan of machinery. They also carry out precision laser alignment for coupled rotating machines, guaranteeing optimal performance.
Another key responsibility is advanced diagnostics, involving run-up and coast-down testing of turbines and other critical assets. This helps prevent costly repairs and ensures continued operation at peak efficiency.
Maintenance software platforms like System 1 are utilized to analyze data from machinery sensors. Technicians then prepare detailed technical reports outlining recommendations for corrective actions.
Essential Qualifications & Experience:
* A minimum of 5 years' hands-on experience in condition monitoring, vibration analysis, and machinery diagnostics is required
* A strong understanding of ISO standards related to Vibration Condition Assessment Techniques (VCAT) II certification
