The role requires strong technical expertise in equipment assembly, testing procedures, instrumentation, vibration analysis, performance evaluation, troubleshooting, and quality assurance to ensure equipment reliability, safety, and compliance with applicable industry standards.\nKey Responsibilities\nAs the successful candidate, you will be required to perform the following:\n1. Test Engineering & Planning\nReview equipment drawings, technical specifications, overhaul reports, repair scopes, and testing requirements to establish appropriate test procedures, operating conditions, and acceptance criteria.\nDevelop and review test plans, verify test rigs and systems, and ensure the availability and calibration of required instrumentation.\nEnsure testing activities comply with applicable industry standards, client specifications, quality requirements, and workshop safety procedures.\n2. Mechanical, Functional & Performance Testing\nExecute mechanical, functional, and performance testing of overhauled rotating equipment, specializing in either steam turbines or pumps.\nFor turbine testing, perform slow-roll, uncoupled run, overspeed, trip, governor, trip-and-throttle valve, lubrication, vibration, temperature, and leakage tests, as applicable.\nFor pump testing, conduct hydrostatic, mechanical running, and performance tests, including the evaluation of flow rate, differential head, pressure, power consumption, efficiency, vibration, bearing temperature, and leakage, as applicable.\nVerify equipment operating conditions, test-system readiness, instrumentation accuracy, safety interlocks, and protective systems before and during testing.\n3. Performance Evaluation & Technical Analysis\nEvaluate test results against approved procedures, manufacturer specifications, contractual requirements, and applicable testing standards.\nFor turbines, assess speed, steam conditions, power output, efficiency, heat rate, valve response, and governor stability, as applicable.\nFor pumps, evaluate head-flow characteristics, efficiency, power requirements, operating curves, and performance against specified duty points and acceptance criteria.\nInterpret test data, identify performance deviations, and recommend corrective actions to achieve the required operating and acceptance parameters.\n4. Diagnostics, Troubleshooting & Root Cause Analysis\nDiagnose mechanical and performance-related issues, including excessive vibration, bearing problems, shaft misalignment, thermal effects, lubrication issues, abnormal temperatures, leakage, and instability.\nFor turbines, investigate rotor dynamics, steam-path losses, governor malfunctions, trip-system issues, and lubrication-related failures.\nFor pumps, investigate cavitation, hydraulic instability, inadequate flow or head, seal leakage, impeller-related issues, bearing failures, and abnormal operating conditions.\nConduct root cause analysis (RCA), recommend corrective and preventive actions, and validate equipment performance through retesting where required.\n5. Technical Documentation & Quality Assurance\nPrepare and review test procedures, inspection records, calibrated-instrument lists, performance curves, certified test reports, deviation reports, and technical recommendations.\nDocument test results, identify non-conformities, and coordinate corrective actions with repair, assembly, inspection, and quality teams.\nEnsure complete technical documentation and verification of acceptance criteria before recommending equipment release to service.\n6. Equipment Assembly & Workshop Support\nProvide technical guidance on rotating equipment assembly, rotor and shaft inspection, bearing and seal clearances, alignment, and mechanical integrity verification.\nSupport workshop teams in resolving assembly, repair, testing, and performance-related issues.\nCollaborate with engineering, maintenance, quality, and workshop personnel to improve equipment reliability, testing effectiveness, and compliance with technical requirements.\nRequirements\nBachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from a recognized and approved program.\nAt least 15 years of rotating equipment experience, including a minimum of 8 years of relevant hands-on experience in industrial steam turbine or pump repair, overhaul, assembly, diagnostics, or testing.\nDemonstrated practical experience in either steam turbine testing or pump testing, including mechanical running tests, performance evaluation, troubleshooting, and technical reporting.\nStrong knowledge of rotating equipment fundamentals, vibration analysis, rotor dynamics, shaft alignment, bearings, seals, lubrication systems, and machinery protection.\nExperience with mechanical and performance testing instrumentation, including vibration, temperature, pressure, flow, speed, and power measurement systems.\nAbility to interpret technical drawings, equipment specifications, test procedures, performance curves, and applicable industry standards.\nProven capability in root cause analysis, technical problem-solving, performance assessment, and preparation of detailed engineering reports.\nPreferred Qualifications\nRelevant OEM training or specialized technical training in steam turbines or pumps.\nExperience with applicable API standards and other recognized rotating equipment testing standards.\nMobius vibration analysis certification, Category II or higher, or equivalent qualification.\nICML MLA I or an equivalent lubrication certification.\nHands-on experience with workshop test rigs, instrumentation systems, machinery protection systems, and equipment acceptance testing.\nExperience in industrial, oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, or other process-industry environments.\nSpecialization: Candidates must have substantial hands-on expertise in either Steam Turbine Testing or Pump Testing.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6194,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-28T17:54:56Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":38,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.379,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["conf:0","agency","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/eram-talent-rotating-equipment-engineer-turbine-testing-pump-testing","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/eram-talent-rotating-equipment-engineer-turbine-testing-pump-testing.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T04:55:16Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion
