Lead Rotating Equipment Engineer - UK

The Role:Role Synopsis: • This position requires a solid rotating equipment background -Rotating equipment Engineer profile- with good Operational experience. • The Lead Rotating Engineer is a member of a multidiscipline projects operations team headed by the project Operations Manager. • The Lead Rotating Engineer will report directly to the Project Reliability & Maintenance Manager within this team. • The Lead Rotating Engineer is responsible for the application of the GPO Maintenance Build & Inspection Build Procedure GPO-OPS-PRO-00021, ensuring alignment with the Upstream R&M Segment Defined Practice 5.4-000. The role presents a rare opportunity to be part of establishing a new operation which will aspire to the highest operating standards, comparable with the best of company facilities worldwide. Key Accountabilities: • Accountabilities applicable for project rotating equipment. • Develop and implement a Reliability and Maintenance Strategy to manage identified risks and deliver availability in line with the entity business strategy. • Complete criticality assessment in order to derive a criticality rating for systems and equipment within the facility. Safety/Environmental Critical Equipment and Production/Business Critical Equipment shall be clearly defined and documented. • Ensure Criticality assessments are reviewed based on design changes, system modifications, major changes in operating regimes and lessons learned from particular equipment failures. • Support standardization within the Project and Region (and globally) with proven equipment and systems. • Implement, Lead and Maintenance Management and Reliability Engineering methodologies and tools, e.g. RAM, FMECA, RCM, & RCFA etc • Lead maintainability reviews on packages and systems and ensure findings implemented. • Define the preservation requirements of equipment within the project scope, covering initial preservation measures, warehouse preservation, installed preservation and pre-operations maintenance activities. • The supplier performs a key role in confirming the initial preservation of the equipment and this aspect shall be included in purchase orders and contracts. • During all phases of preservation maintenance, ensure the preservation activities are controlled and recorded within a management system. • Ensure preservation activities are scheduled and history recorded and accessible for review. • Ensure the pre-operations maintenance is managed within the CMMS. • Implement a process to verify that the designated preservation maintenance has been completed as scheduled and to an acceptable standard. • For critical and relevant equipment, define reliability envelopes and confirm that the design and specification of that equipment is such that it will be able to consistently operate within that envelope. • Consider start-up, plateau, middle and end-of-life production levels. • Ensure repair and spares strategy is defined for equipment, identifying the stocking criteria and the response to failure. • Repair strategy shall include guidance on the strategic decision for repair versus replacement. • Where the repair and spares strategy requires the holding of spare parts, lead a spares analysis to determine the optimum spares holding. • Provide input to the schedule to ensure spare parts are ordered and delivered to confirm that they are in place within managed stock prior to the associated equipment being placed into service. • Adhere to the spares management process/workflow, addressing activities necessary to confirm spare parts are available as required to support maintenance and, where appropriate, held within maintained stock. • Ensure accurate and complete data addressing spare parts and is maintained current within the CMMS and the purchasing system. This shall include Bills of Materials. The spares management process shall incorporate measures to ensure that such data is regularly updated and maintained current. Data shall be collected, and material masters created, for all components required for the credible repair of a piece of equipment as defined by the repair and spares process. • Develop and assign risk-based reliability strategies for installed equipment, utilizing Equipment Reliability Strategies and thereby develop an appropriate reliability program. The strategies shall be based on a standard process with a standard set of tools to develop the strategy. Provide an auditable justification of the program at the time of project handover. • Ensure the developed reliability strategy employs an appropriate balance of operations monitoring, predictive maintenance, preventive maintenance and repair/replace as required, to provide a high degree of confidence that equipment life is optimized and the reliability program is effective. In developing the reliability strategy, the following order of precedence shall apply: operations monitoring, then predictive maintenance (including condition monitoring and predictive analytics), then preventive maintenance, with preference towards the least intrusive. • For each activity defined within the reliability strategy, ensure a task interval with suitable justification is provided. Defined life cycle replacement items shall be clearly identified and work orders initiated for that timing. • For each activity, develop work instructions at the what to do level. For critical equipment, the work instructions shall include acceptable performance criteria. • Complete an assessment to identify where more detailed instructions at the how to do level are required. Where these are deemed necessary, develop suitable how to do procedures. • Provide input to a schedule of activities taking into account suitable alignment of maintenance and inspection tasks, TARs and resource leveling prior to loading the CMMS. Participate in the testing of the maintenance and inspection program prior to project commissioning. • Confirm that operations monitoring tasks are incorporated into documented operator responsibilities via site operating procedures. • Provide input to the Project Information Strategy defining the framework through which essential manufacturer and equipment data will be captured, stored, handed over and maintained is in place and implemented prior to Operations. • Ensure reliability and maintenance information is transferred and stored in an electronic data management system allowing ready access to information and its ongoing maintenance during the operational phase. • Define the specification of equipment and associated instrumentation to enable condition and remote monitoring to be easily implemented. • Where condition monitoring has been specified within the maintenance strategy, capture baseline data during construction & commissioning and handover. • Lead commissioning and acceptance testing for the operation of condition monitoring equipment and systems. • Contributing to contract/ vendor management programs; • Contributing to training sessions for Maintenance and Operations; • Reviewing MoCs; • Participating in Hazops and LOPA/SIL studies; • Contributing to the development of the maintenance budget, as well as the long term asset budget; • Ensure compliance with company engineering technical practices and standards.Essential Skills / Qualifications:• Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline. • Demonstrable solid experience in Rotating Equipment (Rotating equipment Engineer profile) • Major Oil & Gas Project Experience • Demonstrated leadership skills and technical expertise in multiple disciplines • Hands on experience with Maintenance Management and Reliability Engineering methodologies and tools, e.g. FMECA, RCM, RCFA, RAM and CMMS. • Able to interact effectively with company & contractor personnel on location to get the job done • Able to interact effectively with engineering staff, both onshore and offshore, as well as equipment manufactures and vendors to solve complex issues that arise on the facility in a timely manner • Strong health, safety, environmental and regulatory compliance record • Lead team by example by encouraging and participating in behavioural based safety observation programs • Experienced in all aspects of oil and gas operations, including export pipeline systems • SDesirable Skills / Qualifications:• Working overseas in a multicultural environment • Familiarity with subsea systems and topsides interfaces with these systems, including instrumentation requirements, control systems, chemical injection • Stakeholder Management & Interface Management • Multi Discipline BackgroundFor further information or to discuss any opportunities, please contact James Dawson at Fircroft on + <phone number removed>
