• Strong experience working with rotating equipment such as pumps, turbo machinery, compressors, or similar precision systems.
• Experience with precision balancing equipment.
• Proven ability to interpret engineering drawings, schematics, and mechanical specifications.
• Advanced precision measurement skills.

Core Competencies

• Strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting ability.
• High attention to detail with close-tolerance assemblies.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong documentation and communication skills.
• Commitment to quality, safety, and continuous improvement.

Preferred Experience
