Engineer - PACO
Where you fit in
Technical Asset Operations (TAO)team aims to develop central, competitive capabilities delivering end-to-end value through the AMS work processes as an integral part of our Downstream Manufacturing (DS-M), Integrated Gas & New Energies (IGNE) and Upstream (UP) asset teams. We support the business worldwide and often do so together with the deep capability of our Project & Technology (P&T), Information Technology (IT) and Finance & Data Operations (FO-Data) partners. You are going to play a vital role in the delivery of continued efficiency and effectiveness improvement by bringing cross-business learning on key processes.
Specific activities can include (but not limited to):
Perform engineering activities for the assigned Production Asset, covering all aspects of base layer control strategies HMI design and compressor control, and alarm management.
Carry out Proactive Technical Monitoring activities to identify unit performance improvement opportunities and reliability risks, and work with area team to determine and implement cost effective solutions.
alerts pass to site CSE and Inspector for further action.
review of unit control valve performance to aid in development of T/A control valve scope.
Participates in ESP Alarm Review Meetings with technical and operation resources to deliver lower alarm rates.
Alarm Configuration, Alarm Review Team, Alarm Metrics, Alarm rationalization, Revalidations and using ACM/UTL for PTM monitoring.
Author plant changes (MOC) within the Process Control discipline and provide Process Control design support of plant changes by other disciplines and departments.
Support or lead failure analysis and causal investigation of Base Layer control failures or incidents. Own, lead and resolve MTO threats with root cause solutions.
Network with other sites TAO personnel to maintain a high quality of work and proactively seek best practices and new technology opportunities (i.e., Wireless technology, Procedural Automation, MDPro).
Provide Control Systems Day-to-Day support for their designated Operating Area.
Troubleshoot problems with control and information systems (hardware and software).
Responsible for MDPro configuration changes for both R&M and Projects.
Monitor base layer controller performance. Identify problem loops and take steps to address.
Maintain the safety instrumented systems in their designated area.
Collaborate with instrument and maintenance specialists in developing, submitting, and providing data to support scope items in the turnaround worklist for assigned production areas.
Provide Asset Availability and Reliability: Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), Ensure Safe Production (ESP), Turnarounds (TA), Mitigate Threats to Availability (MTA).
