  • Maintenance & Reliability :

  • Provide troubleshooting support and root cause analysis for combustion-related equipment failures.
  • 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.
  • Effective communicator with strong problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
  • Strong oral and written communication skills.
  • Strong organizational and problem-solving skills
  • Strong mechanical aptitude
  • Continuous improvement mindset.
  • Strong understanding of combustion principles, heat transfer, and burner / furnace operations.
