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 cualificado) 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.
