Perform engineering duties related to identification and managing asset reliability risks that could adversely affect plant or business operations. This broad primary role may be divided intothree smaller more manageable roles: Loss Elimination Risk Management and Life Cycle Asset Management (LCAM).
Your scope of responsibility
- Serve as a member of crossfunctional team to resolve equipment problems investigate incidents and improve reliability.
- Provide competent coverage for issues concerning site control systems and electrical systems including Distributed Control Systems Programmable Logic Controls and Supervisory Control Data Acquisition Systems electrical substations UPSs and the electrical distribution system.
- Read and interpret blueprints technical drawings schematics or computergenerated reports.
- Works with Project Engineering to ensure the reliability and maintainability of new and modified installations. The Reliability Engineer is responsible for adhering to theLife Cycle Asset Management (LCAM)process throughout the entire life cycle of new assets.
- Participates in the development of design and installation specifications along with commissioning plans. Participates in the development of criteria for and evaluation of equipment and technical suppliers and maintenance service providers. Develops acceptance tests and inspection criteria.
- Participates in the final check out of new installations. This includes factory and site acceptance testing that will ensure adherence to functional specifications.
- Guides efforts to ensure reliability and maintainability of equipment processes utilities facilities controls and safety/security systems.
- Professionally and systematically defines designs develops monitors and refines anAsset Maintenance Planthat includes:
- Valueadded preventive maintenance tasks
- Effective utilization of predictive and other nondestructive testing methodologies designed to identify and isolate inherent reliability problems.
- Provides input to a Risk Management Plan that will anticipate reliabilityrelated andnonreliabilityrelated risksthat could adversely impact plant operation.
- Produce and review preventative maintenance procedures for I&E site equipment.
- Develops engineering solutions to repetitive failures and all other problems that adversely affect plant operations. These problems include capacity quality cost or regulatory compliance issues. To fulfill this responsibility the Reliability Engineer applies:
- Data analysis techniques that can include Statistical Process Control Reliability modeling and prediction Fault Tree Analysis Weibull Tree Analysis Six Sigma 6 Methodology Rootcause and RootCause Failure Analysis (RCA RCFA) Failure Reporting Analysis and Corrective Action System (FRACAS)
- Works with Production to perform analyses of assets including asset utilization overall equipment effectiveness remaining useful life & other parameters that define operating condition reliability and costs of assets.
- Develop and maintain reliability improvement/tracking programs for critical assets formechanical equipment.
- Assist in root cause failure analysis on critical equipment failures.
- Perform component failure analysis as required.
- Review project design packages for proper design regarding reliability application and maintenance.
- Assist in the development and monitoring of the preventative maintenance program.
- Develop review and maintain equipment specifications as related to purchasing installation operationand maintenance/repairs.
- Develop and implement alterations and revisions to equipment to improve business performance of the operating units.
- Provide various reports as needed.
- Present a professional image at all times to clients and vendors and maintain a positive reputation for the company.
- Assists other Departments and other administrative personnel as necessary.
- Initiate and follow through MOCs.
- Must be willing to be available 24/7 on short notice to support plant operations.
- Must be able to work extended hours during plant outages and emergencies.
- Perform other tasks as assigned.
