Reliability Technician

No vibration-analysis experience is required. HECO PSG is looking for a dependable, mechanically curious person who wants to build a career in industrial reliability. You will learn to collect condition-monitoring data, recognize developing equipment problems, and help customers improve the health of motors, pumps, gearboxes, fans, compressors, and other rotating assets. Training, mentoring, and support toward industry certification will be provided. What You Will Do Travel to customer facilities and safely collect vibration and other condition-monitoring data on industrial equipment. Follow established routes and procedures to gather accurate, repeatable machine data. Learn to identify basic signs of bearing, alignment, balance, looseness, and other rotating-equipment problems. Document equipment condition, observations, and completed work clearly and on time. Assist experienced analysts with troubleshooting, testing, analysis, and customer reporting. Communicate professionally with customer maintenance, engineering, and operations personnel. Complete assigned technical training and work toward ISO/ASNT Category I vibration certification. What We Are Looking For High school diploma or GED. Technical school, apprenticeship, military, maintenance, electrical, mechanical, or industrial exposure is helpful but not required but heavily sought after. Military experience is a plus but not required. We have found that individuals with a background in the armed forces transition exceptionally well into our company culture due to their operational discipline and leadership skills. However, we highly value equivalent civilian experience and encourage all qualified candidates to apply. Valid driver's license and an acceptable driving record. Basic computer skills and the ability to learn mobile data-collection and reporting software. Ability to read and follow written instructions, equipment labels, safety procedures, and route documentation. Dependability, attention to detail, and willingness to learn from feedback. Qualities That Lead to Success The strongest entry-level candidates usually demonstrate: Mechanical curiosity - you naturally want to understand how machines work and why they fail. Pattern recognition - you notice differences, trends, unusual sounds, or changes others may overlook. Consistency - you can repeat a process carefully and collect trustworthy data every time. Problem-solving mindset - you ask good questions, test assumptions, and work logically toward an answer. Self-management - you can plan your day, manage travel, meet commitments, and complete documentation without constant supervision. Communication and humility - you can explain observations clearly, listen well, and are comfortable saying when you need help. Safety awareness - you stay alert around operating equipment and do not take shortcuts. Customer-service attitude - you are respectful, professional, and understand that customers rely on the quality of your work. Physical and Travel Requirements Work safely in active industrial environments around operating and rotating machinery. Frequently stand, walk, bend, kneel, climb stairs or ladders, and access equipment in varied plant conditions. Lift and carry 40+ lbs., including instruments and related equipment. Wear required PPE and comply with HECO and customer safety requirements. Travel regularly within the assigned territory, including occasional overnight trips and schedule flexibility based on customer needs. What HECO Offers Structured, hands-on training with experienced vibration analysts and reliability professionals. Company support for vibration-analysis training and certification development. Mileage reimbursement and applicable travel support. Full benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k). A career path within a growing predictive maintenance and reliability team. #J-18808-Ljbffr HECO
