Phillips 66 & YOU - Together we can fuel the future. Our refineries rely on dependable rotating equipment to run safely and efficiently. As the Manager, Rotating Equipment, you will lead a team of reliability engineers and vibration technicians who keep critical machinery operating at its best. You will guide technical strategy, champion safety and reliability, and partner across the site to deliver high-quality mechanical solutions that support our long-term business goals.

At Phillips 66, Lead Forward is our leadership approach. It defines how leaders show up, make decisions, and support their teams while delivering results in a complex, fast-changing environment. Leaders at this level focus on setting clear direction, building trust, and helping their teams succeed. You're expected to act with integrity, make timely and thoughtful decisions, and take ownership of outcomes while supporting collaboration across teams.

• Own the rotating equipment reliability strategy by developing, executing, and sustaining effective preventive and predictive maintenance programs, including vibration monitoring, bad-actor management, and equipment lifecycle planning informed by data and history.
• Apply advanced rotating equipment expertise to support maintenance, operations, projects, and turnarounds, designing and validating engineering solutions that meet functional, cost, and performance targets while conforming to industry standards and Phillips 66 requirements.
• Oversee major maintenance and repair activities for pumps, compressors, and other rotating equipment, including scoping work, specifying new equipment, supporting in-plant and shop repairs, ensuring QA/QC, and leading root cause failure investigations to prevent recurrence.
• Plan and manage a portfolio of rotating equipment projects, building realistic schedules, aligning resources, and contributing to expense and capital budgets while providing clear justifications, monitoring progress, and driving cost-conscious decisions.
• Collaborate across disciplines and within the corporate rotating equipment network to share learnings, develop and apply best practices, and ensure stakeholders understand equipment condition, emerging risks, and recommended actions.
• Navigate unplanned events and evolving priorities by providing calm, steady leadership, clarifying risks and trade-offs, and making timely decisions on high-risk equipment issues, escalating or delegating as appropriate to keep the refinery running safely and reliably.
• Continuously refine rotating equipment standards, work processes, and use of tools and systems (such as vibration monitoring platforms and maintenance and asset management systems) to improve efficiency, reliability, and the quality of engineering decisions.
