Job Purpose
To provide technical support and assurance in the discipline of rotating equipment engineering to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient operation and maintenance of LNG plant machinery.
The primary responsibilities will be to ensure that pragmatic solutions are recommended for management of risk, production efficiency improvement, optimizing maintenance strategies, defect elimination, and supporting long-term asset integrity.
Ensure engineering standardization in support of safe, reliable, efficient, and compliant operations.
Key Accountabilities
Operational Support
- Provide day-to-day technical support for critical rotating machinery including gas turbines, compressors, pumps, expanders, and auxiliary systems.
- Troubleshoot equipment issues in coordination with operations, maintenance, and OEM vendors.
- Review and validate process upsets and trips related to rotating equipment and lead root cause analysis (RCA).
Maintenance Strategy & Execution
- Develop, review, and optimize maintenance strategies (PMs, CBM, PdM) based on risk and reliability analysis.
- Provide guidance on Condition Monitoring of RE plant in conjunction with others. Understand and report on equipment health, integrity and performance. Identify, recommend and implement corrective actions.
- Oversee execution of major maintenance (e.g., overhauls, turnarounds) including planning, work scopes, QA/QC, and post-job evaluation.
Reliability Improvement
- Support Reliability team for reliability improvement initiatives, including bad actor analysis, performance monitoring, and life-cycle cost assessments.
- Support Asset Health Monitoring through vibration analysis, thermography, oil analysis, and data analytics platforms and any other applicable predictive maintenance method.
Engineering Assurance & Compliance
- Ensure all rotating equipment design and modifications comply with international standards (e.g., API, ISO) and BP engineering practices.
- Support for technical decision on rotating equipment discipline.
- Initiate, Coordinate and Review Management of Change (MOC) related to rotating machinery.
Project Support
- Support plant modification projects (Brownfield/Small Capex) by providing discipline engineering input from concept to commissioning.
- Participate in HAZOPs revalidation, design reviews, equipment selection, and FAT/SAT.
Leadership & Mentoring
- Coach and mentor junior engineers and technicians in rotating equipment practices.
- Facilitate knowledge transfer and support technical training programs for site personnel.
Qualifications & Experience
- Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
- Minimum 8 years of experience in rotating equipment engineering in oil & gas, preferably LNG or petrochemical.
- In-depth knowledge of rotating equipment principles, diagnostics, and repair methods.
- Familiar with predictive maintenance tools, reliability engineering, and CMMS (e.g., SAP).
- Experience working in a remote field environment with multicultural teams is highly desirable.
- Strong interpersonal, communication, and decision-making skills.
