Chief Inspector
Core Values:
Model and reinforce company values in all decisions and actions, ensuring safety, integrity, reliability, quality, and excellence remain central to Mechanical Integrity and inspection activities. Demonstrate strong Safety and Environmental Stewardship by proactively identifying degradation and conditions that could result in loss of containment, equipment failure, personnel exposure, or environmental impact. Exhibit Quality Focus through disciplined inspection practices, accurate documentation, technically sound evaluations, and continuous improvement.
Uphold Integrity and Accountability through independent technical judgment, transparent communication of equipment condition, and ownership of inspection program performance. Foster Care for Customers, Coworkers, and Community by ensuring TXIT fixed assets are managed responsibly and capable of supporting safe, reliable terminal operations.
Mechanical Integrity Strategy and Inspection Governance:
Own and maintain the fixed-equipment Mechanical Integrity inspection program for pressure vessels, piping systems, atmospheric storage tanks, and associated fixed equipment. Establish inspection requirements, intervals, methods, acceptance criteria, CMLs, damage mechanisms, documentation standards, and governance necessary to maintain equipment integrity throughout its lifecycle. Ensure inspection strategies appropriately consider design, service, operating conditions, corrosion history, consequence, and recognized industry practices.
Daily and Weekly Field & Integrity Oversight:
Maintain a consistent field presence across TXIT operating areas. Review significant inspection findings, emerging corrosion concerns, temporary repairs, overdue actions, and equipment approaching integrity limits. Conduct field walkdowns to verify actual equipment condition, validate inspection records, and identify leakage, corrosion, coating deterioration, damaged insulation, structural concerns, or other integrity risks. Coordinate weekly with Maintenance, Reliability, Operations, Planning, and Engineering on priority integrity work.
Performance Optimization:
Monitor Mechanical Integrity performance with focus on inspection compliance, overdue inspections, corrosion trends, remaining life, integrity finding closure, temporary repair age, Fitness-for-Service actions, and repeat loss-of-containment events. Use inspection data and risk to prioritize work, identify emerging degradation, improve inspection effectiveness, and provide leadership with clear visibility of fixed-equipment integrity risk.
Safety, Environmental and Regulatory Alignment:
Ensure fixed-equipment inspection and integrity activities support applicable OSHA PSM, EPA, TCEQ, Coast Guard, API, ASME, RAGAGEP, company, and manufacturer requirements. Maintain inspection documentation, certifications, engineering evaluations, repair records, and other evidence required to demonstrate compliant and technically defensible equipment integrity decisions.
Continuous Improvement and Risk Reduction:
Identify, prioritize, and implement improvements that reduce loss-of-containment risk, improve inspection effectiveness, optimize inspection intervals, strengthen corrosion monitoring, improve repair quality, and extend asset life. Ensure lessons from inspections, failures, repairs, and engineering evaluations are incorporated into inspection plans, procedures, standards, and future equipment strategies.
Technical Capability and Knowledge Transfer:
Build inspection and Mechanical Integrity capability across TXIT by developing inspection standards, damage-mechanism awareness, technical procedures, and clear acceptance criteria. Provide technical guidance to Maintenance, Reliability, Operations, Projects, and contractors while ensuring inspection decisions remain independent, evidence-based, and consistent with applicable codes and standards.
Responsibilities
- Own, administer, and continuously improve the TXIT fixed-equipment Mechanical Integrity inspection program for atmospheric storage tanks, process and transfer piping, pressure vessels, pressure equipment, and associated fixed assets.
- Develop, implement, and maintain inspection plans in accordance with applicable API 510, API 570, API 653, ASME, OSHA PSM, RAGAGEP, company requirements, and other applicable codes and standards.
- Establish and enforce inspection intervals, CMLs/TMLs, inspection methods, acceptance criteria, corrosion monitoring requirements, and documentation standards based on service, damage mechanisms, condition, history, and risk.
- Identify and document credible damage mechanisms based on materials of construction, process service, operating conditions, environmental exposure, historical findings, and equipment…
