In-the-Tunnel Engineer

Responsibilities

• Own one or two tunnel boring machine or support equipment subsystems, serving as the primary engineering point of contact for subsystem performance, reliability, maintenance support, and reporting.
• Support daily tunneling operations by troubleshooting equipment issues, resolving downtime drivers, and working closely with operations and maintenance teams to keep systems running.
• Investigate recurring failures, abnormal performance trends, and maintenance issues using field observations, equipment data, downtime history, and operator feedback.
• Own subsystem-specific reporting, including system health, downtime drivers, failure modes, corrective actions, open issues, and reliability improvement priorities.
• Review and improve maintenance procedures, troubleshooting guides, inspection checklists, operating practices, and technical documentation for owned subsystems.
• Lead or support equipment upgrades, modifications, testing, and cross-functional improvement projects to increase reliability, maintainability, safety, and production efficiency.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Civil Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Experience supporting, troubleshooting, maintaining, or improving mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, controls, heavy equipment, or production systems.
• Strong ownership mindset with the ability to become the technical owner for one or more equipment subsystems.
• Ability to use data, maintenance history, field observations, and operator feedback to identify trends, solve problems, and drive corrective actions.
• Comfortable working hands-on in field, industrial, construction, underground, or production environments, including rotating shifts or off-shift support as needed.
