Job Description
The Reliability Engineer will be responsible for identifying and delivering initiatives to enhance equipment availability, extend asset life, and optimise maintenance strategies. The successful candidate will apply reliability engineering principles and data-driven methodologies to identify failure modes, recommend improvements, and ensure safe, compliant, and cost-effective operations in a high-hazard onshore environment.
-
Develop and maintain reliability models (e.g., RCM, FMEA,) for critical rotating and static equipment (compressors, pumps, heat exchangers, turbines).
-
Conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) following any significant equipment failure or performance deviation; produce clear, actionable reports with lessons learned.
-
Lead failure mode, effects & criticality analyses (FMECA) to prioritise maintenance activities and drive design improvements.
-
Implement and oversee condition monitoring techniques (vibration analysis, oil analysis, thermography) to detect early signs of degradation.
-
Define KPI dashboards (MTBF, MTTR, availability) and use CMMS/EAM systems to capture, analyse, and report reliability data.
-
Collaborate with digital engineering teams to integrate IoT sensor data and advanced analytics into predictive maintenance models.
-
Develop and optimise preventative and predictive maintenance plans in line with industry best practices and HSE standards.
-
Provide engineering support to operations and maintenance teams during shutdowns, turnarounds, and major inspections
-
Review and challenge maintenance tactics, spare-parts strategy, and vendor recommendations to ensure cost-effective reliability outcomes.
-
Act as subject-matter expert for reliability within multidisciplinary project teams, ensuring new equipment and modifications are designed for maintainability.
-
Interface with Operations, Integrity, HSE, Procurement, and Technical Authority to align reliability initiatives with overall asset management strategies.
-
Deliver training and knowledge-sharing sessions on reliability tools and techniques to build capability across the plant workforce.
-
Lead continuous improvement projects (e.g., Six Sigma, Lean) focused on reducing unplanned downtime and maintenance costs.
-
Ensure compliance with UKCS regulations, Oil & Gas UK guidelines, and corporate asset integrity frameworks.
-
Keep abreast of emerging reliability technologies, best practices, and regulatory changes; recommend adoption where beneficial.
