The Stationary Equipment Inspector supports the Bayport Polymers Plant in Pasadena, TX, a four-line polypropylene (PP) manufacturing facility with an annual benchmark capacity of approximately 2,000 MMlbs, the largest PP manufacturing site in Lyondell Basell.

• Manage relevant Stationary Equipment damage mechanism through identification, execution and documentation of inspections by Equipment type (e.g., vessel, heat exchanger, piping circuit).
• Create and execute individual inspection plans for Stationary Equipment using the Meridium (APM) Inspection Data Management System (IDMS).
• Create inspection recommendations for findings requiring action and track to closure.
• Lead or participate in risk assessments associated with delayed or cancelled Stationary Equipment inspections. Process deferrals for overdue or coming-due inspections and recommendations as necessary.
• Develop and manage work processes in accordance with corporate guidance to mitigate risk from locations that are challenging to inspect for relevant damage mechanisms.
• Manage the site’s corrosion under insulation (CUI), corrosion under fireproofing (CUF), maintenance paint program (MPP) and external stress corrosion cracking (ESCC) work processes.
• Manage the site’s pressure relief device work processes.
• Manage inspection work processes for special equipment including but not limited to: elevated flare, non-metallic tanks, cooling towers, structures, and grating.
• Manage the site’s Stationary Equipment quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) work processes.
• Manage the site’s work processes for the design, installation, monitoring, modification and removal activities associated with temporary repairs.
• Take ownership of the site Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Inspection, both in monthly reporting as well as addressing causes for KPIs below target.
• Direct contract inspection resources for execution of the site asset strategy in accordance with site work processes.
• Assess the risk associated with and document the rationale for any Stationary Equipment not assigned an individual Inspection Plan.
• Provide technical support/expertise within your discipline during the front-end engineering and design (FEED) and execution phases of capital projects to ensure newly-installed and modified assets realize value throughout their life cycle.
• Engage with peers across the company to share and learn about best practices and lessons learned for Mechanical Integrity related topics.

• A High school diploma or equivalency is required.
• 3 years of more of experience in mechanical integrity inspection-related activities in a refining, petrochemical, or chemical process industries.
• Communicate clearly and concisely; and are assertive in the recommendation of repairs critical to plant safety that you developed using industry Standards & Practices.
• Ability to utilize the following computer software: SAP, Microsoft Excel, Word and PowerPoint.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills are required.
• Stationary Equipment Inspector must have the following certifications:
• API 510, Pressure Vessel Inspector
• API 570, Piping Inspector
• API 653, Above ground Storage Tank Inspector

• Bachelors Degree in relevant field or college level courses preferred.
• Mechanical inspection experience at a Polypropylene (PP) manufacturing site.
• Stationary Equipment Inspector will be expected to develop the following knowledge with on-the-job and off-site training:
• Equipment (vessel, heat exchanger, piping, reactor, furnace, boiler, etc.) failure mechanisms (corrosion, erosion, chloride stress corrosion cracking, fretting, etc.), maintenance, and repair.
• Working knowledge of the following codes and standards: NBIC, ASME Section VIII Div. 1, ASME Section V, ANSI
  
  B.16.5, ANSI
  
  B.31.3, and ANSI
  
  B.31.1.
• Pressure relief device operation, failure mechanisms, and NBIC code requirements.
• Awareness and application of non-Destructive Examination (NDE) Techniques such as visual, UT, MT, PT and…
