Key Responsibilities:
- Provide technical support to operations and maintenance teams to diagnose equipment issues and resolve complex mechanical failures.
- Analyze equipment performance using condition monitoring systems, SCADA data, and inspection findings to identify trends and potential reliability risks.
- Lead or support root cause failure analysis (RCFA) and implement corrective actions to prevent repeat failures.
- Support the development and optimization of preventive and predictive maintenance programs across wind, solar, and hydro assets.
- Lead reliability initiatives including condition monitoring, lubrication analysis, blade inspection strategies, and other mechanical integrity programs.
- Provide field engineering support for major maintenance activities, component replacements, and commissioning efforts.
- Collaborate with site teams, vendors, and OEM partners to improve maintenance practices, reduce downtime, and strengthen equipment performance.
- Support asset lifecycle planning, spare parts strategies, and reliability improvements across the operating portfolio.
- Ensure all work is completed in accordance with BluEarth’s health, safety, and environmental standards.
