• Conduct routine vibration route inspections and interpret vibration spectra to identify potential equipment defects and failure modes.

• Provide technical recommendations and corrective actions based on vibration analysis and condition monitoring findings.

• Perform laser alignment of couplings and V-belt driven equipment, including pumps, fans, motors, cooling towers, and gearboxes, to improve equipment reliability and service life.

• Conduct in-situ dynamic balancing of rotating equipment to minimize vibration levels and optimize equipment performance.

• Perform Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) inspections to identify material defects, deterioration, and equipment integrity issues.

• Carry out Dye Penetrant Testing (DPT), Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI), Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UTT), Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT), and Radiographic Testing (RT) in accordance with applicable procedures and standards.

• Inspect boilers and pressure parts to evaluate wear, corrosion, abrasion, and other reliability-related issues.

• Perform thickness measurements, DPT, MPI, PAUT, and other inspection methods to ensure the integrity and reliability of boiler pressure parts.

• Conduct inspections of boiler components, including tubes, steam drums, refractory systems, and associated pressure-retaining equipment.

• Evaluate welding quality and support inspection activities related to boiler maintenance and reliability improvement programs.

• Investigate equipment failures and conduct Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) to determine failure mechanisms and corrective actions.

• Perform Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify risks and improve equipment reliability.

• Analyze machinery failures and coordinate with engineering, operations, and maintenance teams to implement effective solutions.

• Support troubleshooting activities for rotating equipment, boilers, and other critical assets to minimize downtime and improve performance.

• Monitor equipment condition and recommend predictive and preventive maintenance actions to prevent unexpected failures.

• Maintain condition monitoring records, inspection reports, equipment history, and technical documentation in accordance with company procedures.

• Utilize CMMS and other maintenance systems to record findings, recommendations, and completed activities.

• Ensure compliance with maintenance standards, inspection procedures, permit-to-work requirements, and company HSE regulations.

• Support shutdown, turnaround, commissioning, and reliability improvement activities related to plant equipment and systems.
