Tech Rep, Gas Turbines

Senior Recruiter at Eikon-X – Technical Representative | HDGT Repair & Overhaul | Northwest Houston area

Base Pay Range: $90,000.00/yr – $/yr
Additional Compensation: Annual Bonus

Why This Role Exists

This is a hands‑on, shop‑based Technical Rep role for someone who understands turbine repairs from the inside out — blades, buckets, inspections, routings, QA, and customer expectations. You’ll sit at the intersection of the shop floor, engineering, QA, and the customer, owning repair jobs end‑to‑end. The position is not desk‑only and not a pure sales role; it’s for someone who wants technical ownership, authority, and visibility in a growing turbine repair operation.

What You’ll Actually Do

• Translate customer POs and scope into shop routers, work packages, and execution plans
• Work directly with engineering and inspection teams on blade/bucket condition assessments
• Coordinate repairs, subcontracted work, and material flow
• Track job progress, cost, and schedule—flag issues early and drive solutions
• Serve as the technical point of contact between the shop, QA, sales, and the customer
• Support change orders, scope clarifications, and technical explanations
• Partner with QA on non‑conformances, inspections, and root cause investigations
• Assist shop leadership with scheduling, priorities, and technical clarity
• Lead customer updates, shop visits, and technical reviews
• Deliver inspection reports, final job books, and close‑out documentation

Who This Is For

This role is best suited for someone who has already been close to the metal and wants more ownership without leaving the technical side behind.

Required Experience

• 5+ years working with gas or steam turbine rotating components
• Direct exposure to blade and bucket repair, overhaul, or inspection
• Strong mechanical understanding of turbine operation and failure modes
• Comfortable moving between the shop floor, engineering, and customers
• Able to manage multiple jobs, priorities, and deadlines simultaneously
• Confident writing technical reports and communicating clearly

Preferred Background

• Previous Tech Rep, Lead Tech, Field Engineer, or Repair Coordinator experience
• Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems in a repair environment
• Experience supporting Tier‑1 power, energy, or O&G clients
• Exposure to QA/QC documentation, inspection data, and non‑conformance resolution

Why People Take This Role

• Shop‑based role with real authority over repair execution
• High visibility with customers and leadership
• Growing platform with recent acquisitions and expanding capabilities
• Ability to influence process improvements, quality systems, and execution
• Long‑term career path in technical leadership without leaving turbines behind
