Ensuring Chart’s Success…
Howden Maintenance Partners is part of Chart Industries and is a growing service company within the group, specializing in the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of industrial machines—both electrically and mechanically rotating. Think of electric motors, pumps, gearboxes, generators, steam turbines, turbo compressors, reciprocating compressors, and expanders. This work can be carried out either on-site at the customer’s location or at one of our facilities.
Chart Industries is represented in more than 40 countries and employs over 11,700 people.
As a Service Technician, you will go on-site to overhaul machines at the customer’s location. If more extensive maintenance is required, you will be responsible for disassembling the machine so that the maintenance or repair can be carried out in the workshop. After the maintenance or repair, you will reassemble the machine at the customer’s site.

- You overhaul all types of (electro)mechanical equipment such as compressors, turbines, and pumps.
- During disassembly, you will measure the machine, dismantle it, and prepare it for transport.
- After the overhaul or repair in the workshop, you will reinstall the machine on-site, align it, and bring it back into operation.
- While disassembling and assembling the installation, you will handle tasks such as fitting, aligning, determining clearances, final assembly, and possibly installing new equipment. You will use the necessary tools and, in consultation, arrange for any special tools to be made.
- You check whether the work can be carried out safely.
- You are responsible for test runs of the repaired or newly installed equipment, in consultation with the supervisor or customer.
