I&E Engineer

Position Summary

Perform engineering duties related to identification and managing asset reliability risks that could adversely affect plant or business operations. This broad primary role may be divided into three smaller, more manageable roles:
Loss Elimination, Risk Management, and Life Cycle Asset Management (LCAM).

• Serve as a member of cross-functional team to resolve equipment problems, investigate incidents, and improve reliability.
• Provide competent coverage for issues concerning site control systems and electrical systems including Distributed Control Systems, Programmable Logic Controls and Supervisory Control, Data Acquisition Systems, electrical substations, UPSs, and the electrical distribution system.
• Read and interpret blueprints, technical drawings, schematics, or computer-generated reports.
• Work with Project Engineering to ensure the reliability and maintainability of new and modified installations. The Reliability Engineer is responsible for adhering to the Life Cycle Asset Management (LCAM) process throughout the entire life cycle of new assets.
• Participate in the development of design and installation specifications along with commissioning plans. Participate in the development of criteria for and evaluation of equipment and technical suppliers and maintenance service providers. Develop acceptance tests and inspection criteria.
• Participate in the final check out of new installations. This includes factory and site acceptance testing that will ensure adherence to functional specifications.
• Guide efforts to ensure reliability and maintainability of equipment, processes, utilities, facilities, controls, and safety/security systems.
• Professionally and 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.
• Provide input to a Risk Management Plan that will anticipate reliability-related, and non-reliability-related risks that could adversely impact plant operation.
• Produce and review preventative maintenance procedures for I&E site equipment.
• Develop engineering solutions to repetitive failures and all other problems that adversely affect plant operations. These problems include capacity, quality, cost, or regulatory compliance issues. To fulfill this responsibility the Reliability Engineer applies data analysis techniques that can include Statistical Process Control, Reliability modeling and prediction, Fault Tree Analysis, Weibull Tree Analysis, Six Sigma (6σ) Methodology, Root-cause and Root-Cause Failure Analysis (RCA, RCFA), Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action System (FRACAS).
• Work with Production to perform analyses of assets including asset utilization, overall equipment effectiveness, remaining useful life & other parameters that define operating condition, reliability, and costs of assets.
• Develop and maintain reliability improvement/tracking programs for critical assets for mechanical equipment.
• Assist in root cause failure analysis on critical equipment failures.
• Perform component failure analysis as required.
• Review project design packages for proper design regarding reliability, application, and maintenance.
• Assist in the development and monitoring of the preventative maintenance program.
• Develop, review, and maintain equipment specifications as related to purchasing, installation, operation, and maintenance/repairs.
• Develop and implement alterations and revisions to equipment to improve business performance of the operating units.
• Provide various reports as needed.
• Present a professional image at all times to clients and vendors and maintain a positive reputation for the company.
• Assist other departments and other administrative personnel as necessary.
• Initiate and follow through MOCs.
• Must be willing to be available 24/7 on short notice to support plant operations.
• Must be able to work extended hours during plant outages and emergencies.
• Perform other tasks as assigned.
