Senior Condition Monitoring Engineer – CAT-3

Role Overview

As a Senior Condition Monitoring Engineer in Abu Dhabi, you will diagnose the health of critical rotating machinery and turn monitoring data into practical maintenance decisions. Your work will help clients and maintenance teams identify emerging faults, investigate equipment failures, and improve reliability while meeting engineering and site-safety requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct advanced vibration analysis, operating deflection shape (ODS) and modal studies, dynamic balancing, and laser alignment.
• Lead root cause failure investigations for rotating equipment and develop recommendations to address the underlying causes.
• Assess and interpret findings from vibration, ultrasound, thermography, motor current signature analysis, and oil analysis.
• Build and refine condition-based maintenance strategies, using equipment condition to guide corrective and predictive work.
• Prepare technical reports, explain diagnostic conclusions, and develop proposals for reliability improvements.
• Support condition-monitoring audits and reviews of reliability performance.
• Provide technical guidance to clients, original equipment manufacturers, and maintenance teams on machinery issues.
• Coach junior and mid-level engineers in diagnostic methods and condition-monitoring practice.
• Apply relevant engineering standards and site safety procedures during monitoring and diagnostic activities.

Requirements & Qualifications

• At least eight years of experience in condition monitoring or rotating-equipment reliability.
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering.
• ISO Vibration Category III certification, which is required for the role.
• Strong practical capability in advanced vibration analysis, ODS, modal analysis, laser alignment, and dynamic balancing.
• Experience diagnosing compressors, turbines, pumps, motors, and other critical rotating machinery.
• Working knowledge of RCFA, reliability engineering, predictive maintenance technologies, and condition-based maintenance planning.
• Familiarity with vibration-analysis platforms such as CSI/AMS, Bently/GE, Pruftechnik, SKF, or ADASH.
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to communicate technical findings and lead engineering work with clients and colleagues.
