About the role

  • 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)

Requirements

  • M.E/M.Tech/B.E./B.Tech. - Mechanical/ Electrical Engineer
  • 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.

Benefits

  • We offer an exciting and international job with excellent opportunities for professional and personal development possibilities in an inspiring environment at the world's leading wind turbine manufacturer.
  • We value initiative, responsibility and the right balance between creativity and quality in all solutions.
  • You will become part of a highly professional environment with a strong technical commitment.
