Associate Engr

Reliability engineer to support projects and improvement activities for the assigned operating units to help to implement Shell AMS. The Asset Management System (AMS) aims to provide a single, control framework for managing Producing Asset in Shell. As a part of AMS, MEC (Manage Equipment 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 Equipment Care process in AMS is foundational for employing risk-based processes to establish a ‘Cost and Reliability’ optimized scope for asset equipment care. MEC'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.

The role will also require the individual to ensure the deliverables 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 Assessments, ensure good QA/QC, record keeping, & final job closure to enable high equipment reliability & plant technical availability.

Understand the complexities and intricacies of maintenance activities of pumps, vessels, compressors, turbines, motors, Field instruments, Analyzer instruments, and control system instruments like PLC, and DCS instruments in the oil and gas industry by studying the operations and maintenance manuals of OEMs, general task lists, equipment specific task lists, test certificates, maintenance reports, spare part list, maintenance strategies, etc., and technical discussions with global, site maintenance lead/technical authorities & OEMs/Vendors, etc.,

**Dimensions**

Primary owner to ensure that technical data and documents are free of data defects, following Controls and Standards, and within the limits of KPIs.

Perform 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 rotating /static equipment engineers in implementing the standard maintenance strategy for preventive/corrective maintenance of various equipment uniformly in various operating units across the Shell.

**Compliance**:Ensure that activities are executed in line with Shell’s policies and standards. (Data protection, HSSE&SP, DEP, AMS, MEC).

**Principal Accountabilities**:
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 strategy 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 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.

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 te
