Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing team of Maintenance & Reliability Engineers and discipline specialists responsible for the long-term reliability and mechanical integrity of all refinery assets
Own the site’s reliability program using first-principles approaches: implement Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Root Cause Analysis (RCA), and predictive maintenance (PdM) technologies (vibration, infrared, ultrasound, oil analysis, etc.) tailored to critical equipment such as pressure leach autoclaves, calciners, slurry pumps, pressure filters, crystallizers, and solids handling systems
Drive Mechanical Integrity and Asset Integrity programs in full support of the site PSM program (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119), including inspection strategies, corrosion monitoring, and fitness-for-service evaluations for equipment in caustic, high-pressure, and high-temperature service
Establish and track key reliability KPIs (MTBF, availability, bad actor identification & elimination) and maintenance cost metrics; develop and execute improvement plans to optimize uptime and reduce total cost of ownership
Lead the development and optimization of the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), preventive maintenance (PM) plans, spare parts strategy, and work management processes
Collaborate closely with Production, Process Controls, Process Safety, and Project Engineering teams on capital projects, Management of Change (MOC), turnaround planning, and continuous improvement initiatives
Provide technical leadership in equipment selection, design reviews, and vendor management to ensure inherent reliability and maintainability are designed into new installations and modifications
Conduct and support detailed failure investigations and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence; champion a culture of reliability excellence and continuous improvement
