Engineer/Senior Engineer focusing on Condition Monitoring and Lubrication at Vestas, monitoring wind turbine components and performing detailed analyses to optimize maintenance processes.
Responsibilities
Monitor and diagnose the health condition of wind turbine gearboxes, main bearings, generators, and other drivetrain components using vibration and lubrication analysis techniques
Conduct detailed vibration data acquisition, trending, spectrum analysis, and fault diagnosis to detect early-stage failures
Perform advanced lubrication analysis, including oil sampling, contamination control assessment, viscosity testing, wear debris analysis, and interpretation of lab results
Identify failure modes related to both vibration patterns (misalignment, imbalance, bearing faults) and lubrication issues (contamination, oxidation, additive depletion, abnormal wear)
Prepare comprehensive technical reports combining vibration trends and lubrication findings, including recommendations for corrective and preventive maintenance
Collaborate closely with service operations teams for follow-up on system alerts and ensure implementation and verification of technical actions in the field
Improve alert definitions, thresholds, and monitoring templates for both vibration and lubrication analysis based on field feedback and performance data
Support root cause failure analysis by correlating vibration data, lubrication results, and operational parameters to identify true underlying causes
Provide technical support to service teams in interpreting predictive models and optimizing maintenance strategies for turbines
Develop and maintain health indicators for vibration and lubrication, integrating them into condition monitoring dashboards and reporting systems
Recommend appropriate corrective actions, including oil changes, filtration improvements, contamination control measures, lubrication optimization, and component maintenance
Share knowledge and best practices across teams through training, documentation, and technical discussions on vibration diagnostics and lubrication health
Participate in Continuous Improvement Programs aimed at enhancing accuracy, reliability, and efficiency of condition monitoring processes
Contribute to the development and refinement of predictive maintenance models by combining multi-sensor data (vibration, oil analysis, temperature, SCADA signals)
Level II Certification in Vibration and/or Lubrication analysis
2+ years of industry experience in Condition Monitoring, including Vibration Analysis and Lubrication/Oil Analysis
Strong working knowledge of vibration analysis techniques, spectrum interpretation, waveform analysis, and data acquisition systems
Good understanding of lubrication fundamentals, lubricant selection, oil sampling practices, contamination control, and oil condition monitoring
Ability to interpret lubrication test parameters such as viscosity, TAN/TBN, water content, particle count, wear debris analysis, FTIR, and elemental spectroscopy
Solid understanding of drivetrain components (gearboxes, generators, bearings) and associated failure modes related to both vibration and lubrication issues.
