Gas Genset Engineer

JobsCloseBy Editorial Insights

Cummins seeks a Gas Genset Engineer for a full-time onsite role in Abu Dhabi, demanding 8 to 10 years of hands on gas engine genset experience (250 kW to 2 MW) and the ability to diagnose, maintain, repair and optimize performance on engines from Cummins and other OEMs. Expect troubleshooting with Cummins Insite, real time combustion analysis with Testo 350/340, component overhauls, sensor calibration, and ensuring safety and ISO 9001 compliance. A mechanical, electrical or mechatronics degree with OEM training and schematic literacy is preferred, plus travel willingness and a valid driving license. To apply, tailor your resume to emphasize gas system expertise, combustion tuning, CHP/biogas work, quantify improvements, and showcase clear concise reporting.

The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with natural gas or biogas engine-driven generator sets (gensets), capable of performing diagnostics, maintenance, repair, and performance optimization of gas engines from leading manufacturers such as Cummins

Requirements

• Education: Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Mechatronics Engineering
• Experience: Minimum 8-10 years of hands-on experience with gas engine gensets
• Technical Skills:
  • Familiar with gas engine systems (ignition, combustion control, turbocharging, cooling)
  • Experience using Testo Analyzer (350 or 340) for combustion tuning and emissions measurement
  • Proficiency in mechanical overhauls and control panel diagnostics
  • Knowledge of gas supply infrastructure, including solenoid valves, regulators, filters, and safety shutoff systems
• Certifications: OEM-specific training (e.g., Cummins, etc) is a plus
• Others:
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical/mechanical schematics
  • Willingness to travel and work on-call when required
  • Valid driving license
  • ISO 9001 and DMS knowledge or background is preferred.

Key Responsibilities

• Troubleshooting & Diagnostics
  • Conduct root-cause analysis on engine performance issues using diagnostic tools and software (e.g., Cummins Insite, Woodward ToolKit, or equivalent).
  • Perform real-time combustion analysis and exhaust gas measurements using Testo 350 / 340 analyzers.
  • Interpret engine fault codes and operational data to isolate mechanical, electrical, and control issues.
• Maintenance & Repair Engineer Support to Service Teams
  • Provide engineering support to service teams in preventive and corrective maintenance on gas-powered gensets (250 kW to 2 MW range) when needed.
  • Provide engineering support to service teams to carry out overhauls on engine components such as cylinder heads, turbochargers, pistons, liners, ignition systems, and crankshafts when needed.
  • Provide engineering support to service teams to replace and calibrate key sensors (lambda, knock, MAP, oil pressure), spark plugs, and filters as per OEM guidelines.
• Performance Optimization
  • Monitor and fine-tune gas supply pressure, mixture quality, and air-fuel ratio to optimize combustion and generator efficiency.
  • Adjust mixer and pressure regulator settings, accounting for variations in calorific value and gas quality (especially in biogas applications).
  • Work with CHP (Combined Heat and Power) systems and ensure heat recovery units function optimally.
• Documentation & Reporting
  • Maintain detailed technical records.
  • Communicate findings and recommendations clearly to clients and internal teams.
  • Ensure compliance with safety standards and environmental regulations.                                           
    Additional Local Responsibilities:
