Purpose of Job

As a Senior Reliability and Integrity Engineer, you will be responsible for ensuring the reliability, integrity, and safety of equipment and processes in the upstream and midstream sectors of the oil and gas industry. Your role will involve conducting assessments, developing maintenance strategies, improving equipment performance, and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and industry standards. You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams, including operations, maintenance, and quality assurance, to enhance the safety and efficiency of oil and gas operations. This role is also expected to coordinate with works management and integrity management teams.

Key Accountabilities

Reliability Engineering:

• Develop, implement, and optimize reliability engineering strategies to improve the performance and reliability of upstream and midstream assets.
• Utilize reliability analysis techniques such as Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Root Cause Analysis (RCA), and Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) to drive continuous improvement initiatives.
• Analyze historical performance data and reliability metrics to identify trends, issues, and opportunities for improvement.

Coordination with Works Management:

• Collaborate closely with works management teams to align maintenance activities with operational priorities and reliability goals.
• Support the planning and execution of maintenance schedules, ensuring that activities are conducted with minimal impact on production and operational efficiency.
• Facilitate communication between reliability engineering and works management teams to ensure that all maintenance and project initiatives are informed by reliability analysis.

Integrity Management:

• Coordinate with inspector (AIA) teams to conduct integrity assessments, including inspections, corrosion monitoring, and fitness-for-service evaluations.
• Implement and monitor integrity management plans that assure compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

• Act as a liaison between reliability engineering, works management, and integrity management teams, promoting a collaborative approach to asset management.
• Provide technical support and training to interdisciplinary teams regarding reliability, integrity assessments, and maintenance strategies.
• Work closely with operations and maintenance personnel to foster a culture of reliability and proactive maintenance.

Continuous Improvement and Innovation:

• Drive initiatives for continuous improvement within the organization by advocating for and implementing innovative reliability engineering practices.
• Identify opportunities for technology integration (e.g., predictive analytics, condition monitoring systems) to improve asset reliability and integrity.
• Stay abreast of industry trends, regulatory changes, and best practices to ensure that the organization remains compliant and competitive.

Data Analysis and Reporting:

• Utilize software tools for data analysis to generate reports on reliability performance, equipment failures trends to identify areas for improvement, and maintenance activities.
• Prepare and present reports to senior management and stakeholders on reliability performance, integrity status, and recommended actions

Compliance and Standards:

• Ensure all reliability and integrity efforts are compliant with relevant industry standards (API, ASME, ISO) and regulatory requirements.
• Participate in internal audits and inspections to verify compliance and to recommend corrective actions as necessary

Formal Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related field.
• Master’s degree is highly desirable.

Working Experience

8-10 years of relevant experience in reliability engineering, specifically within the upstream and midstream sectors of the oil and gas industry
