Position: Condition Monitoring Engineer – MCSA, Vibration & Motion Amplification

Location: Bahrain

Job Overview:

The Condition Monitoring Engineer is responsible for delivering advanced predictive maintenance and asset reliability services using Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) , Vibration Analysis , and Motion Amplification technologies. The role focuses on early fault detection, root cause analysis, and continuous reliability improvement of rotating and electromechanical assets across industrial facilities.

Key Responsibilities

Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA)

• Perform online and offline Motor Current Signature Analysis on AC/DC motors, generators, and driven equipment
• Identify electrical and mechanical faults including:
• Broken rotor bars
• Air-gap eccentricity
• Stator winding defects
• Load-related abnormalities
• Coupling and belt issues
• Analyze current, voltage, torque, and power spectra
• Correlate MCSA findings with vibration, process, and operational data
• Prepare detailed diagnostic reports including fault severity and corrective recommendations

Vibration Analysis

• Collect vibration data using portable and online condition monitoring systems
• Analyze vibration signals using FFT, time waveform, enveloping, phase analysis, and orbit plots
• Diagnose machinery faults such as:
• Unbalance, misalignment, and looseness
• Rolling element bearing defects
• Gearbox and transmission faults
• Resonance and structural vibration issues
• Execute route-based and continuous condition monitoring programs
• Trend vibration data to assess equipment condition and estimate remaining useful life (RUL)

Motion Amplification

• Conduct Motion Amplification inspections using video-based vibration analysis tools
• Identify visually amplified motion related to:
• Structural resonance
• Soft foot and mechanical looseness
• Base, foundation, and frame defects
• Piping and structural vibration
• Integrate motion amplification findings with vibration and MCSA results
• Produce visual reports and amplified motion videos for engineering, operations, and management teams
