Conduct failure analysis and problem solving of major rotating equipment problems. These issues are often initially identified as machinery problems but may involve complex systems evaluations. Recognize when it is necessary to branch out and seek assistance from other disciplines
Leverage Proactive Technical Monitoring (PTM) driven by “Find Small-Fix Small” mindset. Expand upon and apply existing PdM platforms such as vibration monitoring, compressor performance monitoring, lube oil condition monitoring, infrared thermography and Operator Task Management (OTM) to identify, analyze, predict and solve
Serve as a “champion” for strict adherence to the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) process by actively participating in RCM Studies, RCM Living Program Reviews and seeking other opportunities to build a more robust program
Develop and optimize detailed overhaul scope for rotating equipment.
Perform technical evaluation of repair crews and supervisors supplied by selected contractors
Review list of spare parts to be procured for overhauls, perform intake inspection of delivered spares
Inspection requires special tools. Determine layout of overhaul’s working space with the focus on safe and productive execution

Strictly follow Shell’s MOC processes/procedures to implement “change”. The Staff Rotating Equipment Engineer will be called upon to lead and implement “change” on consistent basis, as equipment improvements frequently necessitate some form of “change”. Serve as a MOC “steward” when carrying out these changes
Advance Rotating Equipment Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) performance improvements through focused efforts on “bad actors” with emphasis on pumps and mechanical seal systems
Develop maintenance/overhaul plans f
