* Experience with pump strip-downs, inspections, tolerancing, and hydraulic testing procedures.
* Ability to interpret pump curves, system characteristics, and performance data.
* Strong understanding of engineering principles including hydraulics, mechanics, and materials.
* Knowledge of diagnostics including vibration analysis, bearing failures, seal failures, and alignment techniques.
* Familiarity with API, ISO, and ATEX standards.
* Strong leadership and team management skills.
* Excellent communication and customer relationship abilities.
