Hard Skills
AdvancedPrecision AlignmentThe practice of adjusting machine components, such as shafts and couplings, to ensure they operate along a common axis using laser tools or dial indicators.
IntermediateVibration AnalysisMeasuring and interpreting vibration patterns in gas turbines to identify imbalances, misalignments, or bearing wear before failure occurs.
IntermediateTechnical Blueprint ReadingThe ability to interpret complex mechanical drawings, assembly schematics, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) specifications.
IntermediateRigging and HoistingThe selection and use of ropes, slings, and cranes to lift and move heavy turbine components safely and precisely.
IntermediateNondestructive Testing (NDT) KnowledgeFamiliarity with methods like dye penetrant or ultrasonic testing to inspect turbine blades for cracks without causing damage.
