What's the role

In the Reliability Core team, a Reliability Engineer supports projects and improvement activities for assigned operating units to implement the Shell SEAM Standard. This standard provides a unified control framework for managing producing assets. A key component, Manage Asset Care (MAC), uses a risk-based approach to define optimal maintenance tasks for asset equipment, aiming to balance cost and reliability. MAC integrates with other core processes like MTO, ESP, ME, MSC, TA, and Project Execution to achieve its full value.

Your role involves preparing maintenance strategies, conducting assessments, prioritizing work, troubleshooting, proposing technical solutions, coordinating with stakeholders, conducting risk assessments, ensuring QA/QC, record keeping, and job closure to maintain high equipment reliability and plant availability. It requires understanding the maintenance of various equipment (pumps, vessels, compressors, etc.) in the oil and gas industry through studying manuals, task lists, reports, and engaging in technical discussions with global and site maintenance leads, technical authorities, and OEMs/vendors.

What you'll be doing

• Effectively Support the team for Maintenance, Reliability & Turnaround Data, and the documentation process and deliver it successfully by ensuring quality assurance, to meet/achieve their plant maintenance data request management KPIs to meet 100% by bringing process improvements through automation and continuously improving the process.
• The primary responsibility in preparing/developing comprehensive maintenance strategies from overhaul reports, maintenance reports, general tasklist, equipment-specific task lists, spare part lists, equipment drawings, circuit diagrams, P&IDs, operation and maintenance manuals of OEMs, etc., for equipment like engines, pumps, compressors, turbines, etc., as per shell standards.

• These revised maintenance strategies and reliability improvement plans should include a detailed description of the tasks that need to be performed for overhauling/maintenance of each equipment/installation.
• Engage with site maintenance leads, original equipment manufacturers, and vendors, and conduct reliability studies in consultation with site maintenance personnel.
• Interact and communicate with the site focal for reliability studies and maintenance strategies, understanding the intricacies of how the actual maintenance activities for rotating equipment have been planned and performed in various Operating Units of Shell.
• Understanding the functions of the various equipment and instruments and also a thorough knowledge of reading/ interpreting the engineering drawings (P&IDs, PEFS, PFDs).
• Managing stakeholders/ representatives of various operating units through effective communication and identifying & resolving the bottlenecks for data analysis, maintaining issue logs, and using the same in implementing changes/improvements in the processes.
• Expected to work in collaboration with the MTO team to identify, prioritize, and take action to mitigate threats and realize opportunities to meet the Strategic Asset Management Plan and business plan delivery.
• Prepare and update optimized equipment care strategies and plans for the systems within operating units and support them to sustain asset performance.
• To achieve business Context, Performance targets, Asset Integrity, Availability, and costs, risk-based methodologies like (RCM/RBI/SIS) are utilized to Optimize Maintenance Activities.
• The Asset Register shall be complete for all equipment in MAC scope and maintained in a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS). Defining Functional System Priority considering the Production Loss Equation, Asset, and Environment Consequences. RAM Matrix is used for this activity. Based on the prioritization of the Functional System, RCM Study is conducted using tools like w-IMS, w-RCM, etc. Equipment care tasks shall be defined and documented in a GPO-approved IMS application. The Engineering disciplines shall be accountable for defining equipment care tasks and optimizing them for a benchmarked competitive cost. After proper review of these risk-based recommended strategies/tasks, by Reliability Team, the same shall be updated/implemented in CMMS/SAP.
• Can be assigned as a trainer for the area of process tools expertise. May share the responsibility with the supervisor in staff development of other team members.
• Create/Develop Standard Work Instructions/Standard ways of working for PM data management for assigned processes viz. Plant maintenance Master data management Process, Run and maintain Processes for Operating Units and other assigned processes.
• Quality: Maintain Shell data minimum standards for data input to ERP and CMMS systems across the operating unit. Manage relationships with Asset, Functional, and TAS-based technical authorities, subject matter experts from the business, engineering managers and leads, operation managers, etc.

What you bring

• University Degree in Mechanical/Electrical/Instrumentation with 2 years to 8 years or more of work experience in the Oil & Gas / Petrochemicals industry or degree in engineering with experience in one or more of the following:
• Prepare & update the schedules for maintenance strategy reviews and conduct the reviews based on Risk and Reliability Management principles with tools such as PM Optimization (PMO), REM strategy reviews, RCM, and Equipment Care Strategy Library where applicable.
• Shall be able to conduct reliability-centred maintenance studies for the rotating equipment, including package equipment.
• Able to interpret the RCM study results and convert them into PM routines for better maintenance efficiency.
• Participation/Leading end-to-end RCM process starting with identifying Threats and Opportunities to implementing RCM outcome with a mindset of CI (Continuous Improvement) is preferred.
• Integrity Assurance: Work with Technical Authorities (TA) on critical data for safety-critical elements/ equipment; identification & review of Performance Standards for the SCE.
• Follow the SEAM Standard. Use SAP Preventative Maintenance (PM) notifications and work orders to manage work processes to ensure all equipment is maintained per scheduled maintenance plans on time. Led multidiscipline engineers' team to conduct RCM study and discussion with Site discipline & reliability engineers. E2E Implementation knowledge of the MAC process.
• Hands-on Experience in Plant Maintenance in the Oil & Gas and Petro-Chemical fields as a part of the Refinery / Petrochemical / Oil& Gas Platform maintenance team and familiar with the daily operations, preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance activities
• Has exposure to Plant Turnaround / Pitstop / Major maintenance activities as part of the maintenance, planning, and/or engineering support teams.
• Effective communication skills and stakeholder management is a necessary skill for the job.
• Experience in leading change in complex environments and a track record in building, influencing, and sustaining natural teams.
• Able to demonstrate in-depth technical knowledge of rotating equipment, valves, and reliability engineering. Solid experience in maintenance project management and facilitating continuous improvement.
• Able to deal with a wide range of stakeholders at different seniority levels and experience working with different cultures. Support the operational units via a virtual environment.
• Professional Engineering Certification (API, SIL/SIF, etc.) is preferred. Knowledge/Proficiency in the SAP PM/MM module is an added value. Knowledge/Proficiency in MS Office, Power BI, Azure DevOps, etc. is highly desirable.
