Field Technology Static Equipment Manager

Remote – Exempt – Full Time | Field / Customer Site Environment | Travel 30%+

Rotating Machinery Services (RMS) was established in 1998 with the vision to reinvent the aftermarket turbo machinery business — providing operators with unparalleled service based on established relationships, solid engineering, and technical expertise, backed by responsiveness in competitive prices and lead times. RMS is a nimble organization with a collaborative culture of individuals who come to work every day with a desire to improve upon their craft and further the rotating machinery industry.

The Static Equipment Manager is responsible for leading, executing, and growing RMS’ virtual assembly and advanced metrology services for static equipment applications, combining deep technical expertise in static equipment, dimensional metrology, and virtual assembly with strong project execution, customer engagement, and business development capabilities. The position serves as RMS’ technical and commercial leader for static equipment virtual assembly projects, driving work from initial customer engagement and technical scoping through field execution, data analysis, reporting, and final customer delivery, while expanding RMS’ presence in the static equipment market.

The ideal candidate is a technical leader, project executor, and business builder — equally comfortable walking a fabrication shop discussing fit-up challenges, leading a virtual assembly project with metrology personnel and engineers, and explaining to a customer how RMS reduces risk, rework, and schedule.

• Ability to own and grow a technology-based service line — strategy, standards, and repeatable execution methodologies.
• Strong project planning and execution across metrology, engineering, field services, and project management resources; demonstrated leadership of multidisciplinary technical teams, with ownership of both project results and business growth.

• Excellent written and verbal communication; able to translate complex metrology and engineering concepts for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Communicates effectively with craftsmen, technicians, engineers, project managers, plant leadership, and executive-level customers; acts as a trusted technical advisor and leads kickoff meetings, technical reviews, and final customer presentations.

• Deep knowledge of static equipment and industrial field execution — fabrication, installation, alignment, fit-up, dimensional control, and tolerances.
• Advanced understanding of dimensional metrology and virtual assembly, including laser trackers, 3D scanning, photogrammetry, and point-cloud processing.
• Experience with CAD, modeling, and metrology platforms (Solid Works, Inventor, NX, AutoCAD Plant 3D, Cyclone, Poly Works, Verisurf, Navisworks, or similar); commercial awareness and an entrepreneurial approach to growth.

• Lead planning and execution of all RMS virtual assembly projects involving static equipment; serve as technical authority and primary point of accountability.
• Develop execution strategies using dimensional metrology, 3D scanning, laser tracking, modeling, and virtual assembly techniques, working with customers, engineering teams, fabricators, contractors, and RMS field personnel to establish objectives, requirements, tolerances, deliverables, and acceptance criteria.
• Ensure field data collection is accurate and efficient, and oversee its transformation into actionable engineering information — fit-up analysis, alignment evaluations, dimensional inspections, interference…
