Role Description The AOV/MOV Diagnostic Tester is a full-time, on-site role based in Abu Dhabi, focused on testing, diagnosing, and supporting the maintenance of automated and motor-operated valves. Day-to-day responsibilities typically include performing functional and diagnostic tests on AOVs and MOVs, recording and analyzing test data, and identifying performance issues or potential failures. The role involves collaborating with project teams to plan testing activities, implement corrective actions, and ensure compliance with safety standards and site procedures. The AOV/MOV Diagnostic Tester also prepares clear test reports, maintains testing equipment, and supports continuous improvement of valve testing and maintenance processes. Qualifications Strong technical understanding of automated and motor-operated valves, including diagnostic methods, test procedures, and typical failure modes. Experience with industrial plant environments, ideally within nuclear, oil and gas, petrochemical, or related process sectors. Troubleshooting & Maintenance: Perform corrective, preventive, and predictive maintenance on MOV and AOV systems following manufacturer manuals (e.g., Rotork, Biffi, Dresser, Parcol, Velan, Emerson). Actuator Refurbishment: Conduct refurbishment activities on electrical and pneumatic actuators and related accessories. Diagnostic Testing: Acquire and analyze valve performance data using specialized diagnostic systems such as Viper20 or VOTES Infinity (or similar platforms). Calibration & Setup: Calibrate electrical and pneumatic valve systems and verify operational torque/limit switches. Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, valve data sheets, technical specifications, and maintenance documentation. Proficiency in using diagnostic and measurement tools, recording test results accurately, and applying basic data analysis to identify issues. Knowledge of relevant safety standards, site regulations, and safe systems of work for testing and maintenance activities. Effective communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to coordinate with engineers, supervisors, and site personnel in a multicultural environment. Demonstrated expertise with diagnostic software/hardware such as Viper20 and VOTES Infinity. Relevant technical qualification in mechanical, electrical, or instrumentation engineering (diploma or degree) or equivalent practical experience. Previous experience in valve testing, maintenance, or commissioning is highly beneficial; experience in Abu Dhabi or GCC industrial sites is an advantage. Show more Show less
