Electrical Engineer

Responsibilities

• Apply data analysis techniques to develop engineering solutions to repetitive failures and other problems that adversely affect plant operations including capacity, quality, cost, and regulatory compliance issues
• Consult with peers at the site and across the company
• Serve as a resource and conduit to share best practices and leverage operating improvement opportunities across the site and company
• Provide technical support/expertise within your discipline in the design and installation stages of projects for new assets and modification of existing assets to minimize life cycle cost and maximize asset availability
• Participate in the development of design and installation specifications and commissioning plans
• Participate in the development of criteria for and evaluation of equipment and technical MRO suppliers and technical maintenance service providers, develop acceptance tests and inspection criteria
• Maintain awareness of emerging technology, assessing applicability to improve reliability and performance, or to reduce maintenance cost
• Lead or participate in incident investigations and root cause analysis
• Manage risk to the achievement of an organization’s strategic objectives in the areas of environmental health and safety, asset capability, quality, and production
• Provide input to a risk management plan that will anticipate reliability‑related and non‑reliability‑related risks that could adversely impact plant operations
• Systematically define, design, develop, monitor, and refine an asset maintenance plan that includes:
• Value‑added preventive maintenance tasks
• Effective utilization of predictive and other non‑destructive testing methodologies designed to identify and isolate inherent reliability problems
• Apply value analysis to repair/replace, repair/redesign, and make/buy decisions
• Provide technical support to production, maintenance, project, and process engineering groups
• Lead interdisciplinary reliability improvement teams to guide efforts to ensure reliability and maintainability of equipment, processes, utilities, controls and safety systems
• Implement Safety Instrumented Systems that meet availability requirements by translating Process Hazard Analysis requirements into technical design specifications and preventive/predictive maintenance plans

• BS degree in Electrical Engineering with a minimum of 5 years relevant experience in the refining, petrochemical, chemical process, or power generation industries is preferred.
• Strong interpersonal leadership skills are critical due to the requirement for effective communication of complex issues across the organization as well as for mentoring and consensus building.
• The successful candidate must exhibit an understanding of business drivers, management of change requirements, reliability processes, and maintenance workflow.
• Basic understanding of industry codes and standards (i.e., IEEE, ISA, NFPA, NEC).
• Instrumentation and measurement technology.
• Low voltage power distribution and controls.
• Safety Instrumented System specification, design, and implementation.
• Analyzers and sample systems.
• PLC maintenance and programming.
