Job Description
The Role
- The Reliability/Integrity Engineer will be responsible for diagnosing failure modes, improving equipment reliability and converting inspection, condition-monitoring and integrity data into practical maintenance and client recommendations.
- The role will assess asset condition, degradation mechanisms and associated risks, lead or support root-cause analysis, expand appropriate predictive-maintenance practices and produce technically sound reliability and integrity reports.
- The role will also ensure that changes to design, maintenance, inspection or operating requirements are appropriately assessed, verified and documented
What You’ll Do
Reliability & Integrity Analysis
- Assess asset condition, failure modes, degradation mechanisms and integrity risks using available technical data.
- Analyse inspection, condition-monitoring and equipment data to identify reliability and integrity concerns.
- Diagnose recurring or significant equipment failures and determine appropriate technical actions.
- Prioritise reliability and integrity concerns based on evidence, risk and potential consequence.
- Develop practical maintenance and client recommendations from reliability and integrity findings.
Root-Cause Analysis & Corrective Action
- Lead or support disciplined Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for priority equipment failures and reliability issues.
- Identify underlying causes and contributing factors associated with repeat failures.
- Translate RCA findings into clear corrective and preventive actions with defined owners and timelines.
- Monitor agreed actions through to closure.
- Verify the effectiveness of completed corrective and preventive actions.
Predictive Maintenance & Condition Monitoring
- Identify appropriate applications for condition monitoring and predictive-maintenance techniques.
- Monitor asset condition and trends to identify developing reliability or integrity concerns.
- Establish appropriate response requirements for relevant alerts and identified conditions.
- Review the quality, completeness and usability of condition-monitoring data.
- Convert condition-monitoring findings into practical maintenance and operational recommendations.
Technical Reporting & Change Management
- Produce clear technical reports covering reliability, integrity, condition assessment and failure analysis.
- Ensure reports are supported by appropriate technical data, calculations, assumptions and review.
- Assess the technical implications of changes to design, maintenance, inspection or operating requirements.
- Ensure applicable Management of Change (MOC) and independent-verification requirements are followed.
- Maintain traceable records of technical recommendations, MOC activities and verification evidence.
Risk, Technical Assurance & Client Support
- Identify data gaps, uncertainty and integrity risks that could affect technical conclusions or decisions.
- Participate in technical assurance and review activities and escalate issues requiring specialist or management decisions.
- Provide timely technical responses and recommendations to Operations, Maintenance and clients.
- Communicate technical findings, limitations, risks and recommendations clearly to relevant stakeholders.
- Coach field teams and contribute to reliability lessons learned, competence development and continuous improvement
Requirements
Education
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering or another relevant Engineering discipline.
- Professional certification in Reliability Engineering, Asset Integrity, Maintenance Engineering or Condition Monitoring is an advantage.
- Relevant technical training in Root Cause Analysis, Predictive Maintenance, Failure Analysis,
- Management of Change or Risk-Based Inspection.
Experience
- Minimum 5–8 years’ relevant experience in reliability engineering, asset integrity, maintenance engineering, inspection or a closely related technical function.
- Experience within Oil & Gas, Energy, Industrial or other asset-intensive environments, particularly involving rotating and/or static equipment.
- Demonstrated experience in failure-mode analysis, Root Cause Analysis, degradation assessment and reliability improvement.
- Experience using condition-monitoring and predictive-maintenance techniques and interpreting equipment condition and trend data.
- Experience in risk-based prioritisation, recommending inspection, monitoring, repair, replacement or escalation based on equipment condition and consequence.
- Experience preparing technical reports, reliability assessments and maintenance recommendations for management, operations and/or clients.
