Cogen Mechanical Engineer

Role Overview

• Supervise work execution (Erection, Commissioning and any modification) on site during project and later as an Engineer in maintenance activities.
• Develop and maintain condition monitoring systems for rotating machinery, electrical equipment, and critical plant assets.
• Analyze data using advanced tools such as vibration analysis, oil analysis, thermal imaging, ultrasonic testing, and motor current signature analysis to predict potential failures.
• Collaborate with operations and maintenance teams to implement preventive and predictive maintenance strategies based on condition monitoring insights.
• Provide expert technical guidance on reliability improvement, troubleshooting, and maintenance strategies for power plant equipment.
• Conduct root cause analysis of equipment failures and recommend corrective and preventive actions to avoid recurrence.
• Maintain detailed records of equipment condition, monitoring results, and maintenance activities. Prepare reports and present findings to management/HOD.
• Train plant personnel on condition monitoring techniques, reliability practices, and safety standards.
• Ensure adherence to plant safety protocols, statutory requirements, and ISO standards during monitoring and maintenance activities.
• Monitor and analyze energy consumption patterns to identify opportunities for efficiency improvement and cost reduction.
• Identify and implement reliability improvement projects, including upgrades to monitoring systems and adoption of new technologies.
