About The Position

Flowserve is seeking a skilled Rotating Equipment / Repair Mechanic to join our fast-paced Quick Response Center (QRC) in Pasadena. In this role, you will own the complete DCI (Dismantle, Clean, and Inspect) lifecycle for heavy industrial centrifugal pumps, electric actuators, and flow-control hardware. You will be the technical heartbeat of our shop, ensuring critical infrastructure components for the Chemical, LNG, and refining corridors are rebuilt to exact manufacturing tolerances.

Requirements

3 to 5+ years of dedicated, hands-on experience overhauling heavy industrial rotating equipment (centrifugal process pumps, high-voltage actuators, or compressors).
Absolute fluency reading mechanical blueprints, cross-sectional drawings, and technical data packages.
Must own a complete personal set of SAE hand tools, basic precision measurement instruments, and a roll-around toolbox ready for the shop floor.
Comfort with heavy shop demands (lifting up to 50 lbs, standing for extended periods) and a flexible schedule open to overtime or weekend emergency turnarounds when our customers face critical line-down scenarios.
High School Diploma or GED equivalent.

Responsibilities

Execute Full Overhauls: Perform complete teardown, cleaning, and inspection (DCI) on high-energy overhung process pumps (like the Durco Mark 3) and heavy between-bearings multistage pumps (API 610 BB1-BB5 layouts).
Precision Measurement & Testing: Utilize micrometers, dial indicators, and calipers to measure critical fits, clearances, and run-outs down to exact decimal specifications. Document all findings clearly on dimensional evaluation sheets.
Advanced Assemblies: Safely use torches, heating induction tools, and liquid nitrogen for interference/shrink fits; operate balancing machines and perform low-pressure air and hydrostatic testing to verify seal integrity.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner directly with applications engineers, machinists, and operations team members to map out custom repair plans and minimize customer downtime.
