Overview
We are looking for a highly skilled Air Compressor Mechanic with strong expertise in diesel-driven air compressors, including both diesel engine systems and compressor packages. You will serve as the technical authority for diagnosing complex faults, carrying out major repairs and overhauls, and ensuring equipment meets operational and safety standards before deployment.
In this role, you will be responsible for maintaining the reliability, performance, and availability of our compressor fleet. From troubleshooting underperforming units to leading complete rebuilds and final inspections, your work will be critical to keeping equipment field-ready and minimizing downtime for our operations and clients.
Key Responsibilities
Frequently find the cause of complex faults in diesel engines and compressor assemblies.
Handle major servicing, engine overhauls, compressor rebuilds, and component replacements.
Work through problems in the engine's fuel injection, lubrication, cooling, air intake, starting, and charging systems.
Proactively plan equipment preventive maintenance to avoid breakdown during operations
Repair and maintain compressor parts such as air ends, pistons and cylinders, valves, seals, bearings, and lubrication systems.
Diagnose low air output, abnormal discharge pressure, overheating, excessive oil consumption, air leaks, and unusual vibration or noise.
Inspect and look after the safety and control equipment: pressure regulators, pressure switches, safety relief valves, unloaders, and automatic shutdown systems
Run mechanical inspections and performance checks, and test every unit properly after a repair before it goes back into service.
Dig into machines that keep breaking down, work out why, and suggest fixes and preventive steps so the problem stays fixed.
Interpret OEM manuals, service bulletins, technical drawings, and parts catalogues
Guide and supervise the compressor mechanics during complex repairs and major maintenance.
Write clear technical reports covering the fault, the repair, the parts used, the condition of the equipment, and what you recommend next.
Support emergency breakdown response, field maintenance, equipment mobilization, and commissioning.
Keep an eye on what each machine needs and recommend the spare parts and consumables we should hold so equipment is ready when it's needed.
Do all of the above by the manufacturer's procedures, our HSE requirements, and the applicable pressure-system safety standards.
Required Qualifications
OND/HND/Trade Test Certificate in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
At least 5 to 7 years of hands-on experience maintaining diesel-driven air compressors and diesel engines.
Proven experience troubleshooting compressors, carrying out major servicing, and doing overhauls.
Experience with oilfield or industrial compressor packages is strongly preferred.
Strong diesel engine and compressor troubleshooting.
A solid grasp of air pressure, lubrication, cooling, and control systems.
Planning preventive maintenance and finding root causes
Writing good technical reports, identifying spare parts, and mentoring other mechanics.
