  • Establish preventative maintenance procedures for burners, fuel trains, and combustion control systems.
  • Support training of maintenance technicians in combustion system operation and safety.
  • Data Analysis & Continuous Improvement :

  • Collect and analyze thermal system performance data to identify improvement opportunities.
  • Recommend energy-saving initiatives and lead efficiency improvement programs.
  • Support implementation of digital monitoring and control technologies.
  • Required Skills :

  • Familiarity with gas and fuel systems, thermocouples, flame detection, and control valves.
  • Direct experience with conducting TUS / SAT and compliance with AMS 2750 standards.
  • Knowledge of applicable safety codes, environmental standards, and combustion emission controls.
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD, MS Office Suite, and process modeling software.
  • Ability to read technical drawings, P&IDs, and control schematics.
