Job description
The Field Service Engineer - Mechanical Heavy-Duty Gas Turbine role within Baker Hughes Field Operations focuses on delivering technical field engineering services related to heavy-duty gas turbine (HDGT) equipment and associated auxiliaries across oil & gas, power generation, refinery, and turbomachinery environments in Doha, Qatar. The engineer is responsible for advising and counseling on pre-defined mechanical maintenance activities for gas turbine systems, performing testing, adjustment, programming, and other technical services as agreed with the Headquarter Technical assistance team. Core responsibilities include executing mechanical inspections such as CI (Combustion Inspection), HGPI (Hot Gas Path Inspection), and MI (Major Inspection) for heavy-duty gas turbines and their auxiliary systems. The role involves planning and coordinating maintenance schedules with customers, ensuring all planned maintenance activities are properly organized and executed. The engineer provides advanced troubleshooting expertise and technical guidance to end users while collaborating closely with technical support teams to resolve operational and mechanical issues. Responsibilities include leading discussions with customers regarding planning and implementation of mechanical-related NICs (Non-Implemented Changes) and TILs (Technical Information Letters) and maintaining close follow-up until completion. The engineer must maintain a comprehensive documented history of all mechanical modifications performed on covered units and produce accurate, high-quality Field Service reports documenting service activities and inspection results. The position also requires supporting customer operation and maintenance teams by providing diagnostics counseling and technical resolution for maintenance or operational challenges related to covered gas turbine units. Technical tasks include performing geometric dimensional checks of turbine foundations, equipment and auxiliary skids positioning, levelling verification including levelness and elevation checks of sub-sole plates, and conducting contact checks between sub-sole plates and package supports to ensure correct alignment and mechanical integrity. The engineer must be experienced in new unit erection, installation, pre-commissioning, and commissioning of heavy-duty gas turbines and associated auxiliaries including lube oil system, starting system, fuel gas system, filter house systems, and online/offline water wash systems. Additional responsibilities include advising customers on technical interpretation of engineering drawings to optimize installation and ensure compliance with mechanical specifications. The role requires strong industry experience with major inspections and overhauling of HDGT models including Fr 5/2, Fr 6B, Fr 7E, and Fr 9E, as well as specialized capabilities such as laser alignment and borescope inspection across turbomachinery assets. This position operates within Baker Hughesâ global energy technology services supporting safe, efficient, and optimized energy production and processing operations through advanced turbomachinery service engineering.
