Industrial Maintenance & Reliability Technician- West Virginia

Rotating Equipment Specialists, LLC | Apple Grove, WV Full-Time | Paid Training | Career Opportunity

Are you the person who hears a strange noise from a machine and immediately wants to figure out what's causing it?

Do you enjoy working with your hands, troubleshooting mechanical problems, and learning how equipment works?

Rotating Equipment Specialists, LLC (RES) is hiring an Industrial Maintenance & Reliability Technician to join our team supporting industrial operations in Apple Grove, West Virginia.

You do not need previous vibration analysis or predictive maintenance experience to be considered.

We're looking for someone with mechanical aptitude, curiosity, a strong work ethic, and the desire to learn a specialized technical trade. If you bring those qualities, we'll help teach you the technology and skills used to identify machinery problems before they turn into equipment failures and costly downtime.

You'll work hands-on with industrial rotating equipment including motors, pumps, fans, bearings, gearboxes, drives, and other critical machinery.

Your work will include:

Collecting vibration and machinery condition data

Inspecting operating equipment for developing mechanical problems

Learning to analyze vibration data and identify machinery faults

Using specialized diagnostic instruments and software

Performing or assisting with infrared thermography inspections

Performing ultrasonic inspections

Supporting lubrication and equipment condition-monitoring programs

Performing laser shaft alignments

Assisting with precision field balancing

Working with continuous and wireless vibration-monitoring systems

Troubleshooting machinery problems such as imbalance, misalignment, looseness, bearing defects and other mechanical conditions

Documenting inspection results and equipment conditions

Communicating findings with RES team members and customer personnel

As your skills develop, you'll take on greater responsibility for independently evaluating machinery, diagnosing problems and helping customers prevent equipment failures.

Some of our best candidates may not even know this career field exists yet.

Your background could be in:

Industrial Maintenance • Manufacturing • Mechanical Repair • Automotive/Diesel • Mill or Plant Operations • Electrical/Mechanical Work • HVAC • Welding/Fabrication • Military Maintenance • Skilled Trades • Technical or Trade School

What matters most is that you are mechanically inclined, dependable, willing to learn, and comfortable working in an industrial environment.

Previous vibration analysis, predictive maintenance or machinery reliability experience is a plus — but it is not required for the right candidate.

RES provides training and hands-on experience in specialized industrial reliability technologies, including:

Vibration Analysis

Machinery Diagnostics

Infrared Thermography

Ultrasonic Inspection

Laser Shaft Alignment

Precision Field Balancing

Lubrication Analysis

Continuous Condition Monitoring

Wireless Condition Monitoring

Be curious about how machinery works and why it fails

Be dependable and punctual

Take pride in doing quality work

Be willing and able to learn new technologies

Be comfortable using computers, tablets and diagnostic equipment

Communicate professionally with coworkers and customers

Be able to work independently after appropriate training

Understand and follow industrial safety requirements

Be comfortable working around operating industrial machinery

Lift and carry up to 50 pounds

Work in varying temperatures and industrial environments

Work around operating machinery and equipment

Rotating Equipment Specialists has been helping industrial customers solve machinery problems since 1954.

We're not looking for someone to simply perform the same maintenance task every day.

We're looking for someone who wants to become skilled at understanding what a machine is telling you.

You'll learn to use advanced diagnostic technology to detect problems that can't always be seen — identifying developing machinery issues before they cause failures, production losses or expensive repairs.

For someone who enjoys mechanical troubleshooting and wants to develop a specialized technical skill set, this can become a rewarding long-term career in industrial reliability.

✓ Like taking things apart to understand how they work ✓ Enjoy troubleshooting instead of simply replacing parts ✓ Have mechanical ability but want a more technical career ✓ Want to learn specialized diagnostic technology ✓ Prefer hands-on work over sitting behind a desk all day ✓ Want a career where your knowledge becomes more valuable as your experience grows

You don't need to know vibration analysis today. You need the aptitude and willingness to learn it.

If you're mechanically inclined, dependable and interested in building a career in industrial machinery reliability, we'd like to hear from you.

Apply today and tell us a little about your mechanical or technical experience — whether it came from a job, trade school, the military, working on vehicles, maintaining equipment, or simply being the person everyone calls when something mechanical stops working.
