Welding Repair Engineer (Rotating Equipment)

About the Role
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Welding Repair Engineer to join our dynamic engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for developing, overseeing, and validating specialized welding repair procedures for critical rotating equipment (such as steam/gas turbines, compressors, pumps, and blowers). You will ensure that all restoration processes meet the highest industrial quality standards and regulatory compliance.

Key Responsibilities

• Procedure Development: Design and develop Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) and oversee Procedure Qualification Records (PQR) specifically for the repair and reclamation of rotating equipment components (e.g., shafts, rotors, casings, and impellers).

• Technical Engineering: Select appropriate welding processes and filler materials based on base metal metallurgy (carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steels).

• Quality Assurance: Supervise non-destructive testing (NDT) activities and evaluate weld quality, ensuring compliance with international codes and standards (ASME, ASTM, AWS, API, NACE).

• Failure Analysis & Troubleshooting: Conduct technical assessments and failure analysis on damaged components to determine root causes and implement effective welding repair solutions.

• Compliance & Safety: Ensure all welding operations strictly adhere to company HSE policies, engineering specifications, and client requirements.
  

Requirements & Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Metallurgical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field.

• Certification: Must possess a valid Welding Engineer Certification (e.g., International Welding Engineer - IWE, Certified Welding Engineer - CWEng, or equivalent certification).

• Experience: Minimum of 5 years of proven experience in welding engineering, specifically within the repair, maintenance, or manufacturing of rotating equipment/turbomachinery.

Technical Skills:

• Deep understanding of metallurgy, heat treatment (PWHT), and material degradation mechanisms.

• Strong familiarity with industrial codes (ASME Section IX, ASME B31.3, API 617/687, AWS D1.1).
  

Preferred Skills (Distinct Advantage):

• Hands-on experience or deep technical expertise in Laser Welding / Laser Cladding technologies for component restoration is highly preferred and will be a strong plus.

• Soft Skills: Strong analytical thinking, excellent problem-solving capabilities, and effective communication skills in English (both written and verbal).
