Associate Engr - Reliability(Electrical)
Where do you fit in?
As an Associate Engineer - Reliability Rotating (Electrical), your main responsibility is to perform a role as a reliability engineer in the domain of electrical engineering to support projects and improvement activities for the assigned operating units to help to implement Shell AMS. The purpose of the Asset Management System (AMS) is to provide a single, control framework for managing Producing Asset in Shell. As a part of AMS, MAC (Manage Asset Care) is implemented in the operating assets to define planned tasks for the care of Asset equipment using a risk-based approach to set optimal tasks that deliver business results. The Manage Asset Care process in AMS is a foundational process for employing risk-based processes to establish ‘Cost and Reliability’ optimized scope for asset equipment care. MAC's full value is only achieved through the integration with the other core AMS processes: MTO, ESP (w/ PTM), ME, MSC, TA, and Project Execution.
One of the main accountabilities is to prepare maintenance strategies, carry out the assessment, ensure correct prioritization of work, troubleshoot & propose technical solutions virtually, co-ordinate discussion with stakeholders, conduct Risk Assessment, ensure good QA/QC, record keeping, & final job closure to enable high equipment reliability & plant technical availability.
You will be required to perform a reliability engineer role and other technical functions, with a scope covering technical data and documents of the operating units and manufacturing sites. This role is expected to help mechanical / electrical equipment engineers in implementing the standard maintenance strategy for preventive/corrective maintenance of various equipment uniformly in various operating units across the Shell.
You are required to perform activities as a primary data engineer in maintenance, assurance, technical support, and standardization of technical data and documents of the operating unit, including any site engagements and leadership on technical and tools forums. Analyze technical data, documents, and processes for the business to align with AMS by working with engineering, maintenance, operations, and project teams and partners while ensuring that activities are executed in line with Shell’s policies and standards. (Data protection, HSSE&SP, DEP, AMS, MAC).
What’s the role?
Effectively guide 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.
Constantly 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 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 TAO-based technical authorities, subject matter experts from the business, engineering managers and leads, operation managers, etc.
Leadership. Coach and mentor staff on technical topics and AMS work processes. Expected to be able to coach MAC topics to skill level and others to awareness.
What do we need from you?
University Degree in Electrical related background. Degrees in other fields will be considered with the relevant experience.
