Overview:

Taking oil samples on an established route, gathering machinery data, and testing lube oil on site as needed
Leading oil changes on plant equipment and training operators to properly execute these tasks
Installing, monitoring, and maintaining automatic grease systems
Utilizing CMMS software to create tasks, capture information, and present reports to customer management
Operate lube oil filtration equipment on site (vacuum dehydrators & filter carts), both cycling them through equipment on an established schedule and one-off issues as they arise
Compare information with the vibration analyst to fine-tune lube products and frequencies
Modify equipment to with sight glasses, desiccant breathers and various specialized fittings to prevent contamination with the lube oil and improve PMs
Apply technology-enabled tags to each asset
Change out desiccant breathers and lube oil filters as needed
Communicate technical issues and solutions with plant management
Monitor the inventory and cleanliness of the lube oil storage area for efficient handling practices

The Lubrication Specialist reports to the Reliability Services Engineer, is supported by the Field Professional, and works alongside the Vibration Analyst.


Qualifications for Success:

Mechanically inclined – simplifies machinery into their simplest parts; narrowing down where issues may exist
Takes great pride in their quality of work – deeply motivated by the success of their craft and problem solving in general
Effective communicator – able to visualize and illustrate technical concepts, then cater them to various audiences
Ability to juggle multiple projects at once and manage time accordingly
Technologically sound – strong computer skills and ability to leverage them to accomplish a task
“Always learning” mentality – hungry to learn and an understanding that there is always more to know


Requirements:

Able to perform work safely in the plant environment, including lifting up to 50 pounds, walking up/down stairs or ladders, and climbing in, under, and around large equipment
