PDM Technician

Overview: To perform condition monitoring and predictive maintenance activities on rotating and static equipment to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient plant operation. The role is responsible for collecting, analysing, and reporting equipment condition data using vibration analysis, thermography, lubrication analysis, ultrasound, and other condition monitoring technologies to identify equipment defects at an early stage and prevent unplanned failures. Responsibilities: • Perform routine vibration data collection and analysis on pumps, compressors, turbines, motors, blowers, fans, and other rotating equipment. • Conduct condition monitoring inspections using vibration analysers, thermal imaging cameras, ultrasound instruments, and other predictive maintenance tools. • Generate condition monitoring reports with clear findings and recommendations. • Support troubleshooting of critical equipment failures and participate in Root Cause Analysis (RCA) investigations. • Monitor online condition monitoring systems and notify maintenance teams of deteriorating equipment conditions. • Maintain and update equipment routes, databases, alarm limits, and condition monitoring records. • Support maintenance planning by recommending corrective actions and intervention priorities based on equipment condition. • Assist in machinery acceptance testing, commissioning activities, and post-maintenance verification measurements. • Coordinate with Maintenance, Reliability, Operations, and Engineering teams to improve equipment reliability and availability. Qualifications: • Diploma in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent technical discipline. • Certification in Vibration Analysis (ISO 18436 / Vibration Institute Category I or II preferred). Knowledge of: • Rotating equipment fundamentals. • Vibration analysis. • Thermography. • Ultrasound inspection. • Lubrication and oil analysis. • Predictive maintenance techniques. Experience: • Minimum 5 years of condition monitoring or rotating equipment maintenance experience in refinery, petrochemical, oil & gas, or power generation industries. • Hands-on experience with vibration data collectors and analysis software (SKF, Emerson CSI, ADASH, Bently Nevada, or equivalent).
