• Create, revise, and maintain job documentation including work instructions, routings, inspection plans, measurement requirements, and technical reports.
• Provide real-time technical support on the shop floor; partner with Operations, Machining, Welding, and NDE to remove blockers and keep work moving.
• Support NCR/MRB dispositions and structured problem-solving, including RCA/CAPA as needed to prevent repeat issues.
• Participate in customer technical reviews and pre-job meetings; provide onsite/field support when required.
• Drive lessons learned and standard work to reduce cycle time, rework, and variation.
• Assist in tooling and process planning, shop growth initiatives, and technician mentorship as required by company goals.

Requirements

• (L1) 3+ years in 7FA turbine repair, rotating equipment repair, manufacturing engineering, or shop-facing mechanical engineering.

• (L1/L2) Ability to read drawings/prints, work with measurement data, and interpret inspection/NDE outputs.
• (L1/L2) Comfortable being on the shop floor, partnering with Operations/Machining/Welding/NDE, and driving technical items to closure.
• (L2) Proven ownership of repair methodology decisions and job documentation through final release (not analysis-only).
