Vibration Technician

You enjoy digging into the details.  You pay attention to the little things most people miss by working with the tools and tech that actually make a difference.  Your experience with Emerson CSI vibration analysis tools and software is best-in-class and you use it to keep equipment in top shape. 

No costly downtime for you!  You're all about predictive and preventive maintenance, because it's not about fixing things when they break, it's about being proactive. You're the one keeping everything running...you're the "machine whisperer".    In your world, equipment reliability is everything and you know that a single unexpected failure can lead to expensive downtime, lost production, and even safety risks. Your work helps prevent all that, so let's talk about what you will do: 

• Conduct vibration data collection and analysis using Emerson CSI 2140 analyzers and AMS Machinery Manager software.
• Perform routine condition monitoring on rotating equipment (pumps, motors, compressors, gearboxes, etc.).
• Diagnose mechanical faults such as unbalance, misalignment, bearing defects, and resonance.
• Generate detailed reports and recommend corrective actions based on vibration analysis.
• Maintain and calibrate vibration monitoring equipment.
• Collaborate with maintenance and operations teams to schedule and execute corrective maintenance.
• Support reliability improvement initiatives and root cause failure analysis (RCFA).
• Maintain accurate records of equipment condition and maintenance history.

What you will have:

• Proficiency with Emerson CSI hardware and AMS software is required.
• Extensive experience in vibration analysis or predictive maintenance.
• Certification in Vibration Analysis (ISO Category I or II preferred).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and reporting abilities.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Experience with other predictive technologies (infrared thermography, ultrasound, oil analysis).
• Familiarity with CMMS systems (e.g., SAP, Maximo).
• Knowledge of reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) principles.
• Associate’s degree or technical diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Maintenance, or related field would be an asset.
