Senior Repair Engineer

This position requires hands-on experience in Repair Engineering, MRO, and turbomachinery, together with the technical judgment to assess component condition and define sound, well-supported repair strategies. Beyond executing established procedures, the engineer will be expected to develop repair criteria, methodologies, and technical repair routes, particularly when no predefined solution exists.

Key Responsibilities

- Evaluate turbomachinery components based on Fit, Form & Function to determine condition, repairability, and required recovery.
- Define repair strategies and process sequences, integrating machining, welding, thermal spray, heat treatment, coatings, NDT, and other applicable processes.
- Develop repair and acceptance criteria, repair procedures, inspection methods, and Engineering Specifications, particularly when no directly applicable OEM criteria exist.
- Interpret engineering drawings, OEM specifications, dimensional requirements, and GD&T; to support repair decisions.
- Assess dimensional, metallurgical, and NDT results and analyze damage and failure mechanisms in turbomachinery components.
- Technically substantiate repair solutions through engineering calculations, testing, metallurgical evidence, service history, and applicable standards.
- Provide technical leadership on the shop floor, resolve critical engineering issues, and develop countermeasures to improve repair quality and reliability.
- Establish and strengthen Repair Engineering methodologies, processes, and standards, while transferring technical knowledge to engineering and workshop teams.

Education

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Design, Aerospace Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, or a related engineering field.
- Professional degree and license (cédula competente) required.




- Advanced coursework or specialized experience in repair engineering, materials, metallurgy, or turbomachinery is a strong advantage.

Experience

- 8+ years of engineering experience, including 5+ years in MRO, Repair Engineering, or major maintenance of rotating equipment.
- 3+ years of direct turbomachinery experience, preferably with gas turbines, steam turbines, and/or centrifugal compressors.
- Proven experience evaluating used or damaged components and determining repairability.
- Experience defining and technically supporting repair, acceptance, rejection, replacement, or scrap decisions.
- Experience developing repair solutions or criteria beyond established OEM procedures.
- Experience in an OEM, authorized repair facility, or specialized turbomachinery repair environment is highly valued.

Technical Knowledge & Core Competencies

- Strong knowledge of Fit, Form & Function, repair processes, and turbomachinery component evaluation.
- Working knowledge of machining, welding, thermal spray, heat treatment, coatings, NDT, metrology, and GD&T.;
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings, OEM specifications, tolerances, and dimensional requirements.
- Understanding of damage and failure mechanisms, metallurgy, rotor balancing, and dimensional recovery.
- Advanced technical English and proficiency with 3D CAD, Excel, and technical/document management systems.
- Strong critical thinking, technical judgment, analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to make sound decisions when solutions are not predefined.
- Ownership, technical creativity, leadership, and a builder mindset, with the ability to develop repair methodologies, technical criteria, and engineering solutions.
- Ability to influence multidisciplinary teams, provide technical leadership, and transfer knowledge.

Nice to Have

- NDT Level II certification in at least two methods.
- CWI, IWE, or equivalent.
- GD&T; / ASME Y14.5.
- AS9100 / ISO 9001 knowledge.
- Experience with structural analysis tools.
