• Pumps
• Turbines
• Motors
• Fans and blowers
• Auxiliary rotating systems
• Participate in model validation, alert tuning, calibration, and user acceptance testing (UAT) activities prior to go-live.
• Correlate predictive model outputs with operational and condition monitoring data including:
• Vibration analysis results
• Temperature trends
• Lubrication analysis
• Performance curves
• Process conditions
• Historical maintenance and failure records
• Validate model outputs against known equipment behaviour, maintenance history, and operational conditions to improve model accuracy and reliability.
• Provide engineering input to support expansion of predictive monitoring coverage to additional rotating assets and facilities.

• Monitor and manage predictive anomaly alerts for deployed rotating equipment assets.
• Assess alert severity, validate operational impact, and recommend appropriate prioritization and corrective actions.
• Identify early indicators of:
• Bearing degradation
• Seal wear
• Cavitation
• Rotor imbalance
• Misalignment
• Lubrication issues
• Impeller fouling
• Mechanical looseness
• Recommend proactive maintenance and operational interventions prior to equipment failure or forced outages.
• Collaborate with customer maintenance, reliability, operations, and engineering teams to plan and execute preventive and corrective activities.
• Review, validate, and operationalize AI/analytics-driven recommendations generated through deployed AVEVA solutions.
• Support root cause analysis (RCA), bad actor investigations, and rotating equipment reliability improvement initiatives.
• Ensure predictive models remain aligned with actual operating conditions, maintenance practices, and asset behaviour throughout the sustainment lifecycle.
• Act as the primary technical focal point during sustainment and managed service phases for assigned rotating equipment asset portfolios.
• Support continuous improvement, model refinement, and enhancement of predictive monitoring effectiveness.
• Track and report reliability and value realization KPIs including:
• Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
• Unplanned downtime reduction
• Deferred failures
• Maintenance cost optimization
• Equipment availability improvements
• Participate in governance meetings, technical reviews, workshops, and value realization sessions with customer stakeholders, asset owners, and project management teams.
• Provide operational feedback and engineering recommendations to analytics, product, and delivery teams to improve solution performance, operational adoption, and customer outcomes.
• Support long-term customer adoption, sustainment, and continuous business value realization from deployed predictive analytics solutions.
• Conduct periodic visits to customer plants, operational facilities, and industrial sites to support deployment activities, technical assessments, alert validation, reliability…
