Job description

Sulzer is a leading engineering company with a proud heritage of innovation. Join our global team to grow your expertise and develop innovative solutions that enable a prosperous and more sustainable society.

About the role

At Sulzer GT Aero Services, we specialise in the maintenance, overhaul, repair and field service support of industrial gas turbines and rotating equipment used across the energy sector. Based in Aberdeen and operating globally, we help customers maximise reliability, performance and availability of their critical assets, both onshore and offshore.

Due to an internal promotion we are looking for an experienced Project Engineer (Field Service) to join our growing team. This is a highly visible role where you'll act as the technical focal point for field service projects, supporting the planning, mobilisation, execution and close-out of gas turbine maintenance activities across customer sites. You'll work closely with Field Service Engineers, Project Teams and customers to ensure work is delivered safely, efficiently and to the highest technical standards.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading the preparation and execution of field service projects
• Developing work packs, execution plans and RAMS documentation
• Acting as the key technical interface between Sulzer and our customers
• Supporting field service teams before, during and after site activities
• Providing technical guidance on gas turbine maintenance and troubleshooting
• Participating in site surveys and customer visits
• Reviewing and improving field service processes and documentation
• Supporting outage planning, mobilisation activities and reporting
• Identifying opportunities to improve customer support and generate future business

What We're Looking For

• Experience working with industrial gas turbines, power turbines or rotating equipment
• Knowledge of field service environments, ideally within energy, power generation, oil & gas or related sectors
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings and technical documentation
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Comfortable working both independently and as part of a wider project team
• Willingness to travel and support onshore and offshore projects when required

Job Location

This is a highly visible role that sits at the heart of our field service operations. You'll regularly interface with customers, suppliers and internal stakeholders, ensuring projects are planned, coordinated and delivered successfully from start to finish.

The position offers a high degree of autonomy and flexibility, with the opportunity to be primarily home-based and manage your own diary. However, it is not a fully remote role. Regular travel to customer sites across the UK and internationally will be required, alongside attendance at planned meetings and team activities in Aberdeen as business needs dictate.
