- Troubleshoot mechanical equipment and system performance issues, evaluate equipment failures and recurring problems, and provide technical recommendations for repair, replacement, modification, or continued operation.
- Support mechanical systems and equipment such as pumps, valves, piping, tanks, HVAC, ventilation, heat transfer equipment, rotating equipment, and associated facility systems, as applicable.
- Perform field walk-downs, equipment inspections, and system evaluations to verify equipment condition, configuration, operability, and compliance with design requirements.
- Preview drawings, specifications, procedures, maintenance history, vendor information, calculations, and other technical documentation when evaluating equipment and system issues.
- Provide engineering support for maintenance activities, repairs, troubleshooting, testing, post-maintenance testing, system restoration, and return-to-service activities.
- Design, upgrade, modify, and evaluate facility systems and components, including preparation, review, and approval of design changes and engineering evaluations.
- Perform engineering calculations, failure evaluations, root cause analyses, system health assessments, and technical studies to evaluate system performance, reliability, and safety.
- Identify equipment reliability issues and recommend corrective actions or improvements to reduce recurring failures and improve system performance.
- Ensure system operation remains within the approved safety basis, operating limits, design requirements, and applicable regulatory requirements.
- Review proposed plant configuration changes to determine impacts on system design, safety basis, equipment operation, maintenance requirements, and operating procedures.
- Resolve engineering-related corrective actions, equipment deficiencies, and system performance issues through applicable formal tracking and corrective-action processes.
- Maintain alignment of drawings, procedures, calculations, technical documents, and equipment configuration with the approved system design and safety basis.
- Provide timely technical direction and engineering support when mechanical equipment or facility systems experience unexpected operating or maintenance issues.
