Senior Metrology Technician

• 7–10 years of hands-on experience in precision measurement or metrology roles, ideally in rotating equipment or industrial services.
• Proficient with laser trackers, portable CMMs, and associated software platforms (e.g., SpatialAnalyzer, PolyWorks, CAM2).
• Strong understanding of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), alignment fundamentals, and mechanical fit-up.
• Excellent technical documentation skills and ability to communicate measurement results to field and engineering teams.
• Experience mentoring or leading small teams in high-pressure field environments.
• Willingness to travel extensively, including international field deployments, often on short notice.

Responsibilities:

Advanced Field Measurement Execution

• Perform precision field measurements using laser trackers, FARO arms, 3D scanners, total stations, and other high-end metrology tools.
• Set up and execute complex geometric inspections, alignments, and fit-up verifications on turbines, compressors, gearboxes, pumps, and other rotating equipment.
• Interpret job drawings, OEM specifications, and tolerances to plan and execute field metrology tasks with a high degree of accuracy.

Technical Support and Problem Solving

• Serve as a go-to expert in resolving field measurement issues, including alignment discrepancies, reference frame challenges, and calibration anomalies.
• Advise field service teams on optimal measurement strategies based on site conditions and machinery constraints.
• Conduct real-time analysis of dimensional data to support engineering decisions and job adjustments on-site.

Metrology Software Proficiency

• Operate and program metrology software such as SpatialAnalyzer, PolyWorks, or FARO CAM2 to build measurement plans and generate reports.
• Generate 3D models, deviation analyses, and visual documentation to support customer reporting and internal quality records.
• Maintain templates, scripts, and standard workflows to streamline measurement and reporting processes.

Documentation and Reporting

• Prepare and submit detailed, traceable reports including raw data sets, CAD overlays, alignment logs, and inspection summaries.
• Ensure all documentation meets RMS standards and customer requirements for quality, formatting, and archiving.
• Support digital job reporting and field data upload to RMS databases or customer portals.

Tool Management and Readiness

• Ensure all metrology tools and accessories are properly maintained, calibrated, and prepared for field use.
• Oversee tool inventory management, shipping coordination, and spare part availability for assigned regions or projects.
• Troubleshoot and coordinate repair or recalibration of tools in collaboration with OEM vendors and RMS logistics.

Training and Mentorship

• Mentor and train junior metrology technicians and field engineers in measurement principles, tool operation, and data interpretation.
• Support development and delivery of training materials, SOPs, and certification programs related to metrology applications.
• Act as a field liaison to promote best practices and a culture of measurement excellence within RMS.

Working Conditions

• Capable of performing physical labor in all weather elements. 

Compliance, Safety, and Quality Assurance

• Follow and enforce all safety procedures related to the setup and use of laser-based equipment and heavy machinery environments.
• Adhere to industry standards such as ASME, ISO, API, and RMS-specific quality protocols for measurement and alignment.
• Conduct internal audits of metrology procedures and recommend improvements for accuracy, consistency, and safety.
