Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Condition Monitoring Engineer to join our team in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The successful candidate will be responsible for conducting condition monitoring demonstrations and field services covering vibration analysis, Motion Amplification, Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA), and infrared thermography. The role requires strong hands-on diagnostic capability, customer-facing communication, technical reporting, and the ability to translate inspection findings into practical maintenance and reliability recommendations.

The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 5 years of relevant industrial experience and hands-on exposure to rotating equipment, electrical systems, predictive maintenance, and reliability programs. Furnace thermography and high-temperature inspection experience is specifically required.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct condition monitoring demonstrations for customers, including equipment demonstrations, application trials, technical presentations, and proof-of-concept activities.
• Perform vibration data collection and analysis for rotating machinery, identify abnormal vibration patterns, diagnose potential faults, and recommend corrective actions.
• Apply Level 2 Vibration Analysis knowledge to support machinery diagnostics including imbalance, misalignment, looseness, bearing defects, resonance, gear-related faults, and other common machine condition issues.
• Perform Motion Amplification inspections to visualize and identify structural and machinery movement, resonance, looseness, vibration sources, and other dynamic abnormalities.
• Conduct Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) and related electrical condition monitoring activities to identify potential motor, rotor, stator, power-quality, and mechanical-load-related abnormalities.
• Conduct Level 2 infrared thermography inspections on electrical, mechanical, process, and industrial assets.
• Perform furnace thermography and high-temperature inspections, including thermal assessment of furnace/refractory conditions where applicable.
• Capture high-quality thermal and visual images and accurately interpret temperature patterns, thermal gradients, hot spots, and abnormal heat signatures.
• Perform quantitative and qualitative thermal analysis considering emissivity, reflected temperature, equipment loading, environmental conditions, and operating parameters.
• Develop inspection routes, data-collection plans, service procedures, and condition monitoring programs in coordination with customers and internal teams.
• Analyze collected condition monitoring data, assess severity, identify probable failure modes, and provide practical recommendations for maintenance and reliability teams.
• Prepare professional technical reports containing inspection methodology, equipment details, measurement data, images/plots, findings, severity classification, conclusions, and recommended actions.
• Conduct follow-up inspections and measurements to verify corrective actions and monitor equipment condition.
• Maintain accurate inspection records, equipment histories, databases, and customer service documentation.
• Support sales activities by identifying customer applications, recommending suitable condition monitoring solutions, and assisting with quotations, technical proposals, and demonstrations.
• Provide technical presentations, customer training, application support, and after-sales technical assistance for condition monitoring technologies.
• Coordinate with maintenance, reliability, operations, and engineering personnel during site activities and communicate findings clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ensure all work is performed in accordance with approved procedures, client requirements, HSE rules, and applicable industry standards and best practices.
