  • Specify scopes of work, review vendor proposals, and ensure compliance with engineering standards.
  • Oversee shop inspections, field installations, and commissioning of rotating equipment.
  • Performance Monitoring
  • Utilize condition monitoring tools (vibration analysis, oil analysis, thermography, etc.) to track asset health.

  • Analyze equipment performance data and develop reports with actionable insights.
  • Standards & Compliance
  • Ensure adherence to industry standards (API, ANSI, ASME) and site reliability practices.

  • Maintain documentation including equipment histories, specifications, and repair records.
  • Qualifications

  • Experience : 5+ years of rotating equipment reliability experience within a refinery, petrochemical, or heavy industrial facility.
  • Technical Skills :
  • In-depth knowledge of API standards related to rotating equipment (e.g., API 610, 617, 691).

  • Experience with condition monitoring and reliability tools (e.g., AMS, SAP, Meridium).
  • Proven track record conducting RCFA and implementing reliability improvements.
  • Soft Skills :
  • Strong problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional collaboration abilities.

  • Ability to work independently in a contractor capacity while aligned with site priorities.
