Airswift is seeking a Mechanical and Rotating Equipment Engineer (Onshore) to in Rio de Janeiro, in a permanent position with an Oil and Gas Company. Act as a Technical Authority (Integrity) to evaluate and respond to Management of Change (MOC) and Technical Assistance (TA) requests. Lead Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA/RCA) and develop reliability and maintenance strategies for rotating equipment (pumps, compressors, turbines, gearboxes, and dry gas seal systems), ensuring compliance with company standards and international codes, increasing MTBF and reducing downtime.
Job Responsibility
Evaluate, respond to, and approve MOC/TA requests, technical changes, and deviations, ensuring compliance with company standards and applicable regulations (API/ASME/ISO/ABNT)
Issue Technical Notes and Guidelines as a recognized subject matter expert, standardizing practices and lessons learned
Ensure complete documentation, traceability, and clear communication with onshore/offshore stakeholders
Monitor the performance of rotating equipment using PDM/CBM techniques: vibration analysis, thermography, and oil analysis (including ferrography and spectroscopy) for early anomaly detection
Supervise and execute Product/Performance Data Monitoring (PDM) services, recommending corrective and preventive actions
Develop and implement condition-based maintenance (CBM) programs to optimize availability and reduce downtime
Develop and implement reliability and maintenance (RCM) strategies, with preventive/predictive plans to improve MTBF and lifecycle cost
Perform diagnostics on pumps, centrifugal/reciprocating compressors, gearboxes, and dry gas seal systems
recommend corrective actions
Identify and manage problematic components, conduct disposal plans, and prioritize investments to sustain reliability improvements
Lead the ACR for recurring failures and problems using structured methodologies (5 Whys, Ishikawa, TapRooT, etc.)
issue actionable reports and verify the effectiveness of actions
Conduct component failure analyses (seals, bearings, rotors, gears, shafts) and propose design, operational, or maintenance improvements
Provide daily technical support to Operations and Maintenance areas to resolve machine problems, unplanned downtime, and optimize control/operating parameters
Offer guidance for commissioning/start-up, operations, reviews, and updates of controls/monitoring for rotating equipment
Support capital projects by reviewing maintainability and reliability specifications and ensuring correct installation/alignment according to API/AGMA/ISO standards
Support the preparation of Technical Risk Assessments (ART) and contribute to the continuous improvement of processes and systems
Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering
Advanced English required
Experience in operation, maintenance, or reliability of rotating equipment in the Oil and Gas sector (offshore/onshore), focusing on centrifugal/reciprocating compressors, pumps, and turbomachinery
Solid knowledge of rotating equipment reliability, RCM, CBM, and PDM services
Hands-on experience in condition monitoring (vibration, oil analysis, thermography) and fault diagnosis
Proven experience in troubleshooting and field condition monitoring
Solid knowledge of API standards (e.g., 610/617/618/670/682/686), machine design, lubrication, mechanical seals (including dry gas seals), rotor dynamics, balancing, alignment, and modal analysis
Practical knowledge of international codes and standards (ASME, ANSI, ISO 10816/20816)
In-depth knowledge of rotating equipment: pumps, compressors, dry gas seal systems and gearboxes
Nice to have
MBA/Postgraduate degree in Reliability, Maintenance, or Asset Management is a plus
Certification in vibration analysis (e.g., ISO CAT II/III) desirable
certifications in oil analysis/thermography are an advantage
