About the role
A Snapshot of your day Your day involves leading the mechanical commissioning, testing, and validation of gas turbine systems to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient operation of critical power generation assets. You perform advanced diagnostics and root cause analysis on complex mechanical issues, working closely with site teams to resolve faults, optimize turbine performance, and minimize operational downtime. How You’ll Make An Impact • Lead the mechanical commissioning, alignment, testing, and startup of gas turbines and auxiliary systems, ensuring compliance with technical specifications and safety standards. • Execute pre-commissioning activities, including system inspections, flushing, and functional testing of lube oil, hydraulic, fuel, and other mechanical systems. • Investigate complex mechanical failures, vibration issues, and operational anomalies through advanced diagnostics, field inspections, and root cause analysis. • Collaborate with engineering and product specialists to implement corrective actions, optimize turbine performance, and resolve recurring technical issues. • Maintain the highest standards of safety, quality, and documentation by enforcing Zero Harm principles, managing commissioning records, and ensuring accurate handover documentation. What You Bring • Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent technical qualification, with 5-8 years of hands-on experience in gas turbine mechanical commissioning, startup, and field service diagnostics. • OEM Gas Turbine Commissioning Certification and a recognized Health & Safety certification such as NEBOSH or OSHA are highly preferred. • Proven experience delivering mechanical commissioning activities on large-scale power generation projects, preferably within the Middle East region. • Strong technical expertise in gas turbine mechanical systems, including rotor dynamics, vibration analysis, precision alignment, laser measurement, and auxiliary systems (lube oil, fuel, and hydraulics). • Demonstrated capability in root cause analysis (RCA), advanced troubleshooting, technical reporting, EHS compliance, site management, and subcontractor coordination to ensure safe and successful project execution.
