RINA is currently recruiting: Reliability Specialist 

Duration: 12 months (at least)

Location: Mozambique (Offshore)

Rotation: 28/28

Background: More than 10 years of experience in similar role (maintenance) in Oil&Gas sector (Refinery, plant, FPSO)

Main responsibilities:

• Provide engineering technical support to operating units, environmental activities, and plant projects to improve reliability, process safety and environmental performance
• Support process safety, safety, and environmental compliance by participating in process hazard analysis, incident investigations, procedure development, management of change, alarm management, pressure protection management, and providing technical assistance for work scope development, and assessment of operating impacts on equipment.
• Design improvements for equipment/systems to improve overall reliability, availability, and predictability of production, improve process safety and environmental performance including complex designs
• Provide process support to Plant Engineering activities, usually involving preparation of major appropriation requests or execution of detailed engineering of projects
• Perform equipment reliability analysis and recommends improvements based on Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) findings
• Establish critical equipment sparing strategy
• Recommend equipment reliability improvements though analysis of equipment trends, historical, and field data
• Develop, implement, and lead reliability principles, precision maintenance, and condition monitoring initiatives
• Analyzes refineries’ maintenance and reliability work practices to identify performance drivers. Works collaboratively with refineries’ maintenance leadership on design/reengineering of existing work processes to increase efficiency and effectiveness within established technical standards.
• Works with all relevant departments to ensure the reliability and maintainability of new and modified installations adhering to the life cycle asset management process throughout the entire life cycle of new assets
• Develops engineering solutions to repetitive failures that adversely affect plant operations. These problems include capacity, quality, cost, or regulatory compliance issues.
• Support turnaround and unit shutdown planning and execution through participation in scope development, providing justification for work items, and providing technical support during shutdown/startup and outage timeframe
• Coordinate and assist in implementation of plant system changes, including equipment additions, modifications and/or deletions and process design
• Develops and delivers site training to educate, inform and guide refinery maintenance staffs on application of technical standards. Ensures standards reflect both engineering and work processes and supported by industry best practices.
• Provide input into capital projects to ensure the scope meets the objectives of operational reliability
• Specify appropriate Preventive Maintenance (PM’s) / Predictive Maintenance (PdM’s) based on Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
• Develops refining technical standards for maintenance and mechanical engineering
• Conducts gap assessments primarily through periodic audits to gauge effectiveness of maintenance and reliability work processes. Identifies internal barriers to implementation and works with refineries’ staffs on resolution
