Reliability/Integrity Engineer

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.
