Shape reliability every day in Lexington, KY

Picture your morning: you pull on your PPE, open your route on a handheld, and step onto the plant floor. Motors hum, fans whir, and gearboxes turn—each with a signature you can read. By mid‑day, you’ve captured vibration data across pumps, compressors, and gearboxes, then stepped into the control room to troubleshoot a VFD and soft‑starter. Before you leave, you’ve translated findings into clear, actionable recommendations that prevent unplanned downtime and improve asset health.

That’s a typical day for our Rotating Machinery Condition Monitoring Specialist.

• Execute route-based vibration data collection, analysis, and reporting across rotating assets (motors, pumps, gearboxes, fans, compressors, etc.).
• Diagnose faults and provide condition monitoring insights to reduce failures and extend equipment life.
• Troubleshoot motor control systems, including VFDs and soft‑starters, in partnership with maintenance and engineering.
• Develop concise reliability reports with corrective actions and prioritization.
• Collaborate closely with maintenance, engineering, and operations to optimize performance across mixed industrial applications.

• ISO or ASNT Vibration Analysis Certification – CAT II (required); CAT III is a strong plus.
• 2+ years in vibration analysis, reliability, or rotating equipment maintenance.
• Working knowledge of motor controls, VFDs, and industrial electrical systems.
• Hands‑on experience with vibration platforms/software (CSI/Emerson).

• Comfort working in industrial plant settings around rotating machinery.

• Willing to travel, including occasional overnight trips.
