Full Time Houston, Houston, TX, US

The Gas Turbine Services Engineer is responsible for providing engineering support throughout the complete gas turbine repair and service lifecycle, including engine teardown, inspection, failure investigation, repair development, assembly, testing, and final release. This position applies strong knowledge of aeroderivative gas turbine design, turbo machinery, repair processes, and failure analysis to develop technically sound, cost-effective solutions for complex engine issues.

The engineer will work closely with Service, Manufacturing, Quality, Operations, Supply Chain, and customers to ensure gas turbine repairs are completed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with applicable OEM requirements, engineering specifications, customer requirements, and industry standards.

This is a hands-on engineering position requiring regular interaction with gas turbine engines, components, technicians, inspectors, and test equipment within a repair shop environment.

• Develop optimized work scopes for gas turbine engines removed from service, balancing technical requirements, reliability, cost, turnaround time, and customer requirements.
• Lead the engineering process from engine receipt and teardown through inspection, repair, assembly, testing, and final release.
• Develop detailed work instructions, repair shop routers, inspection packages, engineering specifications, and investigation plans for gas turbine repair activities.
• Provide hands-on technical support to shop personnel during engine disassembly, inspection, repair, assembly, and testing.
• Develop solutions with cross-functional teams to address technical issues regarding aero-derivative gas turbines.
• Design, modify, and validate tooling, fixtures, and equipment required to support gas turbine inspection, repair, assembly, and testing.
• Analyze gas turbine performance and test data to identify abnormal operating conditions, degradation, and potential failure mechanisms.
• Lead engine and component failure investigations and root cause analysis (RCA), including identification of failure mechanisms, contributing factors, and corrective actions.
• Analyze inspection & test data and create technical reports for internal and external customers.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Minimum 5 years of professional engineering experience with aeroderivative gas turbine engines, particularly GE LM2500, GE LM6000, Siemens SGT-A05
  , or comparable platforms.
• Experience working in an MRO, repair, overhaul, manufacturing, or field service engineering environment.
• Demonstrated understanding of gas turbine fundamentals, turbo machinery, thermodynamics, and mechanical systems.
• Experience interpreting engineering drawings, technical manuals, specifications, inspection reports, and repair documentation.
• Experience supporting equipment inspection, troubleshooting, repair, assembly, testing, or overhaul.
• Experience with failure analysis, root cause analysis, and structured problem-solving methodologies.
• Ability to analyze inspection, dimensional, operational, and/or test data and develop technically sound recommendations.
• Strong technical writing skills with the ability to prepare engineering reports, work instructions, repair documentation, and technical recommendations.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills with a high level of attention to detail.
• Ability to work effectively with engineering, quality, manufacturing, technicians, service personnel,…
