 Responsibilities :
The Rotating Equipment Engineer is accountable for overall machinery reliability for specific production units and plays a role in plant-wide reliability as well as responsibility for balancing cost and risk to achieve optimum run length and life of machinery. The Rotating Equipment Engineer also plays a vital role in the development of key performance metrics include machinery related production losses, environmental events, pump meantime between repair, and successful vital equipment repair.
Specific job functions include:
• Provides machinery technical support to specific production units and has broader accountabilities as well.
• Together with Machinery Inspectors, is involved in day-to-day system failure analysis and problem solving. These issues are often initially identified as machinery problems but may involve complex systems evaluations.
• Analysis and solutions extend into other technologies as well as unit operation and/or maintenance.
• Focus on long-term objectives such as eliminating repeat failures, learning from failures (causal learning techniques).
• Identifying threats to machinery reliability.
• Forecasting Capital needs.
• Developing machinery turnaround work scope.
• Conducting risk assessments, and documenting change.
This position requires identification, development, and/or application of successful practices in machinery design, maintenance,and operation within Shell, among our peers and competitors,and among our suppliers.
The successful candidate will have familiarity with some number of the specific technologies related to machinery, e.g. , fluid dynamics, stress analysis, evaluation of load carrying limits, machine component design, and thermodynamic performance. The individual need not necessarily be able to perform the calculation or analyses.
