Job Summary:

The Assets Integrity & Reliability Management Systems Specialist is responsible for ensuring the integrity, reliability, and availability of critical refinery assets through the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of asset integrity and reliability programs. This role focuses on preventive and predictive maintenance strategies, risk-based inspection (RBI), reliability-centered maintenance (RCM), and compliance with industry standards to minimize equipment failures, improve plant safety, and enhance operational efficiency.

Key Responsibilities:

Asset Integrity Management (AIM):
• Develop, implement, and maintain Asset Integrity Management (AIM) programs to ensure equipment operates safely and efficiently.
• Conduct risk-based inspections (RBI) and fitness-for-service (FFS) assessments for critical refinery equipment, including pressure vessels, piping, heat exchangers, storage tanks, and rotating machinery.
• Ensure compliance with API, ASME, OSHA, and company integrity standards for static and rotating equipment.
• Perform failure analysis and root cause investigations (RCFA) to prevent recurring issues.
• Develop and oversee corrosion monitoring and mitigation programs, including material selection and chemical treatment strategies.
• Collaborate with inspection, operations, and maintenance teams to ensure integrity threats are identified and addressed proactively.
Reliability Management Systems:
• Implement and improve Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) and Condition-Based Monitoring (CBM) programs.
• Develop preventive and predictive maintenance (PdM) strategies using vibration analysis, thermography, oil analysis, and ultrasonic testing.
• Utilize Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to improve reliability performance and reduce downtime.
• Optimize spare parts strategies and work with procurement to ensure critical equipment availability.
• Identify and recommend technological upgrades to enhance equipment reliability and reduce lifecycle costs.
Compliance & Continuous Improvement:
• Ensure adherence to regulatory requirements, including OSHA, API (510, 570, 653), ASME, and ISO 55000 (Asset Management Standards).
• Lead and participate in refinery-wide asset integrity audits, inspections, and gap assessments.
• Develop and track key performance indicators (KPIs) for asset integrity and reliability, such as Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
• Foster a culture of continuous improvement by implementing best practices from the oil & gas industry.
• Support digitalization initiatives, such as predictive analytics, AI-based monitoring, and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions for asset health monitoring.
Technical Support & Training:
• Provide technical support for major turnarounds, shutdowns, and capital projects to ensure asset integrity and reliability goals are met.
• Work with multidisciplinary teams (engineering, maintenance, operations) to troubleshoot and resolve complex reliability issues.
• Develop and deliver training programs for refinery personnel on asset integrity, risk management, and reliability best practices.
Qualifications & Skills:
Education & Experience:
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Reliability Engineering, or a related field.
• 10-15 years of experience in asset integrity, reliability, or maintenance engineering within an oil refinery, petrochemical plant, or heavy industry.
