About The Company

Conduct borescope evaluations, vibration data collection, laser alignment, and precision measurements
Support DLE/SAC combustion systems, water injection pumps, and NOx reduction equipment
Commissioning & Startup Support
Support new installation commissioning, including startup, checkout, and performance verification
Collaborate with control room operators and electrical technicians during black-start and forced-outage recovery
Participate in on-call rotation for plant startup support
Compliance, Documentation & Equipment Reliability
Maintain detailed logs of engine hours, starts, and performance trends for NERC/FERC compliance
Manage turbine package auxiliaries including inlet air filtration, enclosure ventilation, and fire suppression systems
Travel to project sites as needed to inspect, evaluate, or commission turbine equipment
