JOB CONTEXT:

We’re on the hunt for a hands-on Mechanical Engineer who knows their way around API 610 centrifugal pumps and API 682 mechanical seals.

  • Develop refurbishment scopes, repair methodologies, and technical reports based on inspection findings.
  • Review and interpret engineering drawings, datasheets, and API standards.
  • Provide technical support for pump disassembly, inspection, machining, assembly, and testing.
  • Ensure refurbishment activities comply with API 610, API 682, ISO, and customer specifications.
  • Perform root cause failure analysis (RCFA) and recommend corrective actions.
  • Coordinate with workshops, machining teams, vendors, and quality departments.
  • Support seal selection, upgrades, and system improvements for reliability enhancement.
  • Review test results (hydro, performance, mechanical run tests) and approve final documentation.
  • Assist in continuous improvement initiatives related to pump reliability and refurbishment processes.
  • Interface with customers for technical clarifications, inspections, and project updates.
