Desired candidate profile

• Asset Integrity Management

  • Develop and implement integrity management plans for critical infrastructure (e.g., pipelines, tanks, pressure vessels).
  • Conduct inspections, assessments, and integrity evaluations to determine the condition of assets.
  • Analyze historical data and perform risk assessments to predict and prevent equipment failure.

• Monitoring and Inspection

  • Oversee routine inspection and testing programs (e.g., ultrasonic testing, visual inspections, corrosion monitoring).
  • Implement and maintain condition monitoring systems to track asset performance in real time.
  • Use non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques to evaluate the integrity of materials and structures.

• Failure Analysis and Risk Assessment

  • Conduct root cause analysis of failures and incidents to identify contributing factors and preventive measures.
  • Perform risk-based inspections (RBI) and failure mode analysis (FMEA) to identify vulnerabilities and prioritize maintenance activities.
  • Analyze the potential impact of degradation or damage on asset performance and safety.

• Maintenance and Repair Strategy

  • Develop and recommend maintenance, repair, and replacement strategies based on inspection results and analysis.
  • Ensure the timely and efficient implementation of repairs or modifications to maintain asset integrity.
  • Collaborate with operations and maintenance teams to schedule and oversee required work.

• Compliance and Standards

  • Ensure that asset integrity management practices comply with industry standards and regulatory requirements (e.g., ASME, API, ISO).
  • Maintain accurate records of inspections, repairs, and integrity assessments to support audits and inspections.
  • Stay current on industry best practices and regulatory changes to ensure compliance and minimize risk.

• Reliability and Performance Optimization

  • Identify opportunities to improve asset reliability and performance, minimizing downtime and increasing operational efficiency.
  • Monitor asset life cycles and recommend modifications to extend operational lifespans.
  • Develop strategies to address corrosion, wear, and other degradation factors that impact asset integrity.
