  • This role focuses on solving vibration and structural integrity challenges across nuclear and broader energy sectors.
  • Ideal candidates will bring deep hands-on experience with rotating equipment and the ability to develop and adjust data acquisition plans in the field.
  • They will use field data to drive root cause determinations and lead high-impact, client-facing problem-solving efforts.
  • The Senior Consultant serves as a technical leader in diagnosing complex mechanical and structural issues, drawing on strong troubleshooting skills developed in high-reliability environments (such as the U.S.
  • Navy Nuclear Program).
  • This role involves leading vibration and dynamic response investigations across the nuclear and energy sectors.
  • Candidates should have significant experience adapting instrumentation plans, interpreting field data in real time, and guiding clients through root cause findings and resolution strategies.
  • The Consultant serves as a hands-on technical resource focused on field-based troubleshooting of mechanical systems—particularly involving vibration and structural dynamics.
  • With experience gained in demanding environments (such as the U.S.
  • Navy Nuclear Program), ideal candidates will contribute to diagnostic planning, execute high-quality data collection, and assist in interpreting results to support root cause analysis and client recommendations.

Primary Responsibilities :

  • Troubleshoot rotating equipment and structural issues using in-field vibration testing and dynamic measurements.
  • Develop and adapt data acquisition plans on-site—selecting sensor types, placements, and measurement techniques based on observed behavior.
  • Interpret test data to support root cause investigations and recommend targeted solutions.
  • Manage client relationships by delivering trusted technical guidance and clear communication.
  • Lead projects from scope through delivery while maintaining quality, schedule, and budget alignment.
  • What Success Looks Like :

  • High-quality field data leading to confident root cause conclusions.
  • Practical, data-backed recommendations to mitigate problem.
  • Positive client feedback and repeat engagements based on problem-solving credibility.
  • Contributions to improving team practices in diagnostics and instrumentation.
  • Required Skills / Qualifications :

  • 15+ years troubleshooting mechanical systems through field diagnostics—especially in high-consequence or industrial environments.
  • Proven ability to adapt instrumentation plans in real time and extract meaning from complex datasets.
  • Familiarity with rotating machinery (pumps, turbines, motors) and structural behavior.
  • Hands-on experience with accelerometers, strain gauges, displacement sensors, and vibration analysis tools.
  • Navy Nuclear background or equivalent experience in high-reliability systems (e.g., shipboard propulsion, auxiliary systems).
  • BS / MS in Mechanical, Structural or related Engineering (Navy Nuclear training may supplement).
  • Willingness to travel (40%) for field instrumentation campaigns.
  • Eligible for Nuclear Unescorted Access Authorization.
  • Desired Skills / Qualifications :

  • Certifications in vibration analysis (ISO Category III / IV), RCA, or related diagnostic methods preferred.
  • Experience with ASME / FFS codes, fatigue fracture mechanics, and flow-induced vibration.
  • Contributions to reliability improvement initiatives in high-reliability systems (nuclear, military, or critical infrastructure).
  • Membership in technical organizations such as ASME, API, VI, or AFE.
  • Exposure to high-temperature sensors, wireless data acquisition, or advanced diagnostics.
