Hiring in Qatar: Mechanical Technician & Machinist Operator Jobs – September 2026

A leading organization in Qatar is currently seeking experienced professionals for two technical positions: Mechanical Technician – Rotating Equipment and Machinist Operator – Conventional Machining. These opportunities are suitable for highly experienced mechanical professionals with strong hands-on experience in industrial maintenance, rotating equipment, machining, repair, and precision engineering.

The positions are scheduled to commence on 1 September 2026, making the opportunity particularly relevant for candidates who are already based in Qatar and can join within the required timeline.

1. Mechanical Technician – Rotating Equipment:

The Mechanical Technician position is intended for candidates with extensive experience in the maintenance and repair of industrial rotating equipment.

Key Requirements:

Candidates should have a Diploma or technical qualification in Mechanical Engineering along with 10+ years of relevant experience in rotating equipment maintenance and repair.

Strong practical experience is required with equipment such as:

  • Turbo compressors
  • Reciprocating compressors
  • Steam turbines
  • Gas turbines
  • Bearings and mechanical seals
  • Couplings and related rotating components

The selected technician should be experienced in the complete maintenance cycle, including equipment dismantling, inspection, repair, assembly, installation, and maintenance.

Experience with shaft and coupling alignment is also important. Candidates should be comfortable using precision measurement tools and applying proper alignment techniques during rotating equipment maintenance.

The role also requires the ability to read and understand mechanical drawings, equipment manuals, and technical documentation. Strong troubleshooting skills and a good understanding of workshop and equipment safety procedures are essential.

Professionals who have worked in industrial plants, power generation facilities, oil and gas operations, petrochemical plants, or heavy engineering environments may find this opportunity particularly relevant.

2. Machinist Operator – Conventional Machining:

The second opening is for an experienced Machinist Operator specializing in conventional machining operations.

Applicants should have a Diploma, ITI, or technical qualification in Mechanical Engineering or Machining, together with at least 10 years of machining experience.

The position requires strong hands-on experience operating conventional machine tools, including:

  • Horizontal lathes
  • Boring machines
  • Conventional milling machines
  • Precision machining equipment

The successful candidate will be responsible for machining and reconditioning mechanical components to required dimensions and tolerances. Experience in repair and reconditioning of mechanical parts will be valuable.

Knowledge of reverse engineering and dimensional inspection is also required. Candidates should be able to inspect components accurately and identify dimensions, tolerances, and machining requirements before beginning repair or manufacturing work.

The ability to read and interpret engineering drawings is essential. Experience using precision measuring instruments is also expected.

Although the position focuses on conventional machining, CNC operation and programming experience will be an added advantage. Candidates with knowledge of CAD software such as AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, or SolidWorks may also have an advantage during the selection process.

Job Details:

Location: Qatar 🇶🇦
Joining Date: 1 September 2026
Employment: Full-time engagement on a monthly basis
Contract Duration: Up to 1 year

Candidates who are currently based in Qatar are strongly preferred, particularly those who can meet the specified joining date.

Because both positions require 10+ years of experience, applicants should carefully review the requirements before submitting their CV. Candidates should highlight relevant equipment experience, technical qualifications, years of experience, machining or rotating equipment expertise, and current location in their updated resume.

How to Apply?

Interested candidates who meet the requirements can submit their updated CV for consideration.

Email: i.vijayachandra@brunel.net

When applying, candidates should ensure that their CV clearly presents their relevant technical experience and qualifications. For the Mechanical Technician role, experience with compressors, turbines, bearings, seals, couplings, and alignment should be clearly mentioned. Machinist applicants should highlight their experience with lathes, boring machines, milling machines, precision machining, dimensional inspection, and engineering drawings.

With the 1 September 2026 joining date approaching, eligible candidates—especially professionals already located in Qatar—should submit their applications as early as possible.
