Speed Balancing Engineer

A Snapshot of Your Day

The High-Speed Balancing Engineer role requires a technical expert responsible for the comprehensive vibration analysis and balancing of turbo compressors and turbine rotors. This role is pivotal in maintaining our quality standards, optimizing performance, and delivering reliable energy solutions. You will collaborate closely with cross‑functional engineering teams to plan, execute, and document precision balancing procedures.

• Operate high‑speed balancing (HSB) bunkers and low‑speed balancing equipment to perform detailed vibration analysis, balancing procedures, and support dynamic electrical tests.
• Manage the end‑to‑end process of rotor setup, data collection, analysis, and dismantle; utilize advanced sensors and software to analyze critical speeds, unbalance responses, and overspeed tests.
• Calculate and implement precise balance solutions by installing required weights on rotors during both low‑speed and high‑speed balancing phases.
• Supervise and maintain auxiliary systems critical to HSB operations, including lube‑oil, vacuum, cooling water, power supply, and electronic controls.
• Coordinate procedural requirements and quality control plans with manufacturing and quality engineers, ensuring strict adherence to EHS and all applicable international standards.
• Adhere to strict safety protocols, perform preventive maintenance, and keep machines clean.

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related technical field. A high‑school diploma/GED may be considered with at least 15+ years of direct, hands‑on rotor‑balancing experience. Proven expertise in dynamic analysis and vibration analysis of rotating equipment.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to manage multiple projects, prioritize deadlines, and work effectively within a global cross‑functional team.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills. Bilingual proficiency (e.g., English).
• Multi‑tasking and adaptability in a fast‑paced environment; creative mindset for process improvement and innovation. Calm under pressure; structured approach to high‑speed operations.
• A team player who collaborates with machining, inspection, and QA, demonstrating effective communication and teamwork abilities.
• Safety‑first mindset with excellent situational awareness.
