Apply the acquired knowledge and experience in developing methods and processes to prevent, or reduce, the likelihood or frequency of failures in I&E systems and assets.

Day to Day Accountabilities: (for I&E Reliability Engineer with major Experience in Electrical)

• Advise and assist Maintenance I&E Engineers, electricians and production supervisors on complex electrical repairs and troubleshooting methodologies.
• Develop and implement Reliability strategies by utilizing conventional techniques such as Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Preventive and Predictive maintenance (PPM) strategies, and other industry accepted reliability techniques to analyse Electrical equipment failures and produce cost effective strategies to ensure safe and reliable operation of the plant.
• Carry out detailed engineering calculations using ETAP (Load Flow, Short Circuit, Motor Starting, Protection Relays Selectivity and Coordination) and develop drawings including Single Line Diagrams, Schematic Diagrams, Cable Schedules, Interconnection drawings, electrical equipment data sheets etc.
• Implement Mechanical Integrity & Quality Assurance best practices. Work with other concerned departments to develop & execute appropriate Quality Assurance (QA) practices and develop a mechanism to assess the effectiveness of QA practices.
• Proactively identify Electrical Equipment Reliability Issues and develop engineering solutions for chronic and sporadic equipment reliability problems. Work with technical, production and maintenance departments to implement solutions.
• Lead Reliability Improvement efforts of the plant from the platform of Reliability Improvement Teams(RITs).
• Perform Root Cause Failure Analysis to identify various failure modes and recommend strategies to help improve I&E equipment reliability.
• Evaluate RCA reports, criticality studies, equipment strategies, and risk assessments on equipment to ensure consistency and compliance with company procedures and policies.
• Evaluate facility incidents that affect reliability and ensure that appropriate RCAs are performed. Assist in tracking RCA findings and completing action items in a timely manner.
• Reviews equipment specs/designs to ensure equipment can meet reliability objectives. Participate as a technical adviser on capital projects and turnarounds.
• Participates in the MOCs and PSSRs of new installations to assure adherence to functional specifications.
• Act as subject matter expert (SME) in performing root cause analysis (RCA) investigations and provides expertise to the RCA teams as required.
• Review and optimize ITPMs for functionally critical Electrical power distribution equipment.
• Drive consistency in Electrical equipment design across the site as part of projects review including consistency in maintenance strategies.
• Provide input as needed on projects to ensure design and reliability issues are considered and addressed on new projects.
• Provide guidelines to Maintenance in order to ensure that Life Cycle Asset Management processes are complied with throughout the entire life cycle of new and old assets.
• Champion continuous improvement, fosters relationships between various plant functions to focus on total quality.
