How You'll Make an Impact

As a Mechanical Integrity Leader, you will drive the implementation of a world-class Mechanical Integrity Program while fostering a culture focused on eliminating Loss of Primary Containment (LOPC) events, ensuring regulatory compliance, and improving asset reliability and availability. You will play a critical role in ensuring the site achieves its business objectives through strategic asset management, risk reduction, and cross-functional  this role, you will:

• Lead the implementation and continuous improvement of the site Mechanical Integrity Program, ensuring alignment across Maintenance, Engineering, Operations, and Capital Project teams.
• Own and manage the 5-year asset strategy, driving long-term asset health, compliance, and operational performance.
• Drive objective setting, performance reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives to strengthen mechanical integrity and asset reliability.
• Develop and implement comprehensive Mechanical Integrity programs utilizing industry standards and best practices, including:
  • API 510, 520, 570, 579, 580, 583, and 653
  • ASME BPVC, PCC-1, PCC-2, B31.1, and B31.3
  • NBIC
  • NFPA
  • Other applicable RAGAGEP standards
• Develop and oversee asset care strategies and lifecycle management programs for fixed equipment including:
  • Pressure Vessels
  • Heat Exchangers
  • Storage Tanks
  • Piping Systems
  • Pressure Relief Devices
  • Boilers
  • Heaters and Incinerators
  • FRP Equipment
  • Glass-Lined Equipment
• Track and report key Mechanical Integrity metrics, including PM compliance, deficient equipment, inspection deferments, temporary repairs, LOPCs, and CAPA completion rates, adjusting strategies based on performance trends.
• Drive the adoption and utilization of advanced inspection technologies such as advanced NDE methods, rope access, drones, crawlers, and other emerging technologies to improve inspection efficiency and effectiveness.
• Lead the application of Risk-Based Inspection (RBI), Fitness-for-Service (FFS), Damage Mechanism Assessments (DMA), Root Cause Analysis (RCA), and failure analysis methodologies.
• Champion the site Pressure Relief Device Program, including testing strategies, inspection frequencies, repair management, compliance, and long-term asset strategy.
• Lead and maintain key Mechanical Integrity programs, including:
  • PM Compliance
  • SPCC Tank Inspection Program
  • Equipment Criticality Assessments
  • PCMS Inspection Data Management System
  • Inspection Deferment Process
  • Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) Management
  • Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) Program
  • Equipment Low Remaining Life Program
• Support Capital Projects, Turnarounds (TARs), and Maintenance activities through planning, budgeting, scope development, and execution support.
• Ensure Mechanical Integrity principles and industry best practices are embedded within capital projects, influencing design, construction, and commissioning decisions.
