Apply advanced predictive maintenance technologies on a variety of complex and integrated equipment and systems to diagnose, identify root cause and recommend the appropriate corrective actions to avert equipment problems/failures.

Responsibilities:

• Responsible for compliance with applicable Corporate and Divisional Policies and procedures.
• Performs Predictive Maintenance (PdM) procedures on a variety of equipment i.e. HVAC systems, pumps, blowers, motors, agitators, compressors, reactors, steam and water systems etc.
• Collects and interprets machine reliability data using machinery vibration, ultrasonic sound transmission and infrared analysis techniques. Based on the PdM analysis, work with the Reliability group to evaluate existing PM frequencies and procedures, recommend and make adjustments based on historical trending data. Incumbent will be required to determine root cause and recommend actions based on data collected from use of the predictive technologies.
• Performs pipeline inspections using boroscope and sewer camera equipment. Performs ultrasonic thickness gauging and airborne ultrasonic sound detection. Will perform non-intrusive pipeline flow measurements.
• Incumbent will be required to specify, order and install accelerometer sensors to be used for continuous or periodic equipment vibration monitoring, install sample ports and take oil samples for chemical analysis, and provide findings and corrective action to customer or maintenance group based on the tribology report.
• Incumbent will provide technical support to maintenance and engineering and assist in the training of Senior Mechanics on precision maintenance practices, i.e. Laser Alignment, belt tensioning. Performs training and hands on instruction for less experienced tradesmen. Assists in training of Senior Mechanics to elevate their skills to PdM Technician level.
• Analyzes PdM measurements and provides an engineering analysis to the client as to the condition of the equipment. Provides reports to Plant Engineering on a predetermined basis as outlined by Department Manager.
• Participates in work group team meetings and actively looks for methods and work processes that improve productivity, reduce costs, and increase customer satisfaction.
• When required, processes paperwork such as work orders, house requisitions, reports and various other forms.
• Effectively communicates the status of jobs to customers and supervisors. Ensures that adequate information is shared with other work groups when transferring work orders.
