Job Requirements

  • At Quest Global, we believe in the power of doing things differently to make the impossible possible.
  • We bring together technologies and industries, alongside diverse individuals, to solve problems better and faster.

Key Responsibilities Solution Deployment & Model Enablement

  • Support end to end deployment and operationalization of AVEVA predictive analytics and asset performance solutions across customer facilities in the Middle East region.
  • Provide rotating equipment engineering subject matter expertise during asset onboarding, solution configuration, and model development phases.
  • Work closely with analytics, data science, product, and delivery teams to ensure predictive models accurately reflect equipment operating behaviour, failure mechanisms, maintenance strategies, process conditions, operating envelopes and site conditions.
  • Support asset criticality assessments, use case definition, and identification of high value monitoring opportunities for compressors, pumps, turbines, motors, fans and blowers, and auxiliary rotating systems.
  • Participate in model validation, alert tuning, calibration, and user acceptance testing (UAT) activities prior to go live.
  • Correlate predictive model outputs with operational and condition monitoring data including vibration analysis results, temperature trends, lubrication analysis, performance curves, process conditions, and historical maintenance and failure records.
  • Validate model outputs against known equipment behaviour, maintenance history, and operational conditions to improve model accuracy and reliability.
  • Provide engineering input to support expansion of predictive monitoring coverage to additional rotating assets and facilities.

Key Responsibilities Predictive Monitoring, Sustainment & Value Realization

  • Monitor and manage predictive anomaly alerts for deployed rotating equipment assets.
  • Assess alert severity, validate operational impact, and recommend appropriate prioritization and corrective actions.
  • Identify early indicators of bearing degradation, seal wear, cavitation, rotor imbalance, misalignment, lubrication issues, impeller fouling, and mechanical looseness.
  • Recommend proactive maintenance and operational interventions prior to equipment failure or forced outages.
  • Collaborate with customer maintenance, reliability, operations, and engineering teams to plan and execute preventive and corrective activities.
  • Review, validate, and operationalize AI/analytics driven recommendations generated through deployed AVEVA solutions.
  • Support root cause analysis (RCA), bad actor investigations, and rotating equipment reliability improvement initiatives.
  • Ensure predictive models remain aligned with actual operating conditions, maintenance practices, and asset behaviour throughout the sustainment lifecycle.
  • Act as the primary technical focal point during sustainment and managed service phases for assigned rotating equipment asset portfolios.
  • Support continuous improvement, model refinement, and enhancement of predictive monitoring effectiveness.
  • Track and report reliability and value realization KPIs including Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), unplanned downtime reduction, deferred failures, maintenance cost optimization, and equipment availability improvements.
  • Participate in governance meetings, technical reviews, workshops, and value realization sessions with customer stakeholders, asset owners, and project management teams.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline.
  • Minimum 10 years of rotating equipment engineering experience within oil & gas, petrochemical, refining, gas processing, or industrial environments.
  • Strong expertise in compressors, pumps, turbines, motors, and associated auxiliary systems.
  • Direct experience in condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, or reliability engineering programs.
  • Strong understanding of vibration analysis and machinery diagnostics aligned with ISO 10816, API 670, or equivalent standards.
  • Experience translating condition monitoring findings into maintenance work orders and operational recommendations.
  • Familiarity with industrial historians and monitoring platforms such as PI / OSIsoft or equivalent systems.
  • Familiarity with predictive analytics platforms, industrial AI systems, or digital reliability solutions preferred.
  • Middle East or GCC operating environment experience preferred.

Preferred Certifications

  • ISO Vibration Analyst Certification (CAT II / III)
  • CMRP (Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional)
  • API or equivalent rotating equipment certifications preferred

Preferred Industry Experience

  • Oil & Gas operators in the Middle East region
  • Upstream production facilities
  • Offshore operations
  • Gas processing plants
  • Refineries and petrochemical facilities
  • LNG and industrial energy operations

Key Skills & Competencies

  • Rotating equipment diagnostics and troubleshooting
  • Predictive maintenance and condition monitoring
  • Reliability and asset performance optimization
  • Vibration analysis and machinery health assessment
  • Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
  • Operational data interpretation and analytics validation
  • Technical governance and stakeholder engagement
  • Cross functional collaboration and advisory capability
