[Hiring] Static Equipment Manager @Rotating Machinery Svcs Inc

Role Description

The Static Equipment Manager is responsible for leading, executing, and growing RMS’ virtual assembly and advanced metrology services for static equipment applications, combining deep technical expertise in static equipment, dimensional metrology, and virtual assembly with strong project execution, customer engagement, and business development capabilities. The position serves as RMS’ technical and commercial leader for static equipment virtual assembly projects, driving work from initial customer engagement and technical scoping through field execution, data analysis, reporting, and final customer delivery, while expanding RMS’ presence in the static equipment market.

The ideal candidate is a technical leader, project executor, and business builder — equally comfortable walking a fabrication shop discussing fit-up challenges, leading a virtual assembly project with metrology personnel and engineers, and explaining to a customer how RMS reduces risk, rework, and schedule.

Qualifications

• Significant technical experience with static equipment in refining, petrochemical, chemical, power generation, industrial manufacturing, or similar heavy industrial environments.
• Strong hands-on knowledge of dimensional metrology and large-scale measurement technologies, including laser trackers, 3D laser scanning, or comparable systems.
• Demonstrated understanding of virtual assembly, dimensional control, tolerance analysis, alignment, fit-up, and geometric inspection, plus static equipment fabrication, installation, and repair practices.
• Experience interpreting engineering drawings, fabrication drawings, dimensional requirements, GD&T, and equipment tolerances.
• Demonstrated ability to lead complex technical field projects from scope development through final customer delivery, to identify business opportunities and build technical solutions around customer needs, and to operate independently in field environments under schedule pressure.
• Ability and willingness to travel 30% or more, including travel to industrial facilities and customer sites.

Requirements

• 10+ years of combined experience in static equipment, metrology, dimensional control, engineering, fabrication, field services, or related disciplines.
• Experience leading virtual assembly or dimensional control programs for major capital projects, turnarounds, equipment replacements, or complex fabrication projects.
• Experience working with EPCs, equipment fabricators, refineries, petrochemical facilities, or major industrial contractors; prior business development, technical sales, estimating, or proposal development experience, or experience developing a new technical service offering or emerging business segment.

Benefits

• The position may be worked remotely. This is a full-time position with a minimum expectation of 40 hours per week; additional hours, including evenings or weekends, may be required based on project needs.
• Travel is expected to be 30% or greater and may increase based on project and business development requirements, with regular work at refineries, petrochemical plants, fabrication shops, construction sites, and other industrial facilities, complying with all RMS and customer safety requirements.
• Ability to pass pre-employment drug, alcohol test, and background check, and to participate in company random or customer specific screening. Must possess a valid driver’s license. Able to understand, read, write, and speak English. Authorized to work in the United States.
• Ability and willingness to lift objects up to 50 lbs. (with assistance), walk, climb, reach, kneel, crawl, and balance; use hands for assembling and tool usage; and stand, sit, bend, and walk for significant portions of the shift. Must not have allergies or issues related to handling metals, including aluminum, copper, bronze, and steel.
• RMS Inc. may have government contracts that impose specific requirements on employees working on those projects. If an employee does not meet these requirements, they may be reassigned to a different location or be ineligible to work on certain assignments.
