Job Scope: Provides technical expertise on matters of maintenance as they relate to process control, electrical, and instrumentation equipment. Candidate recommends needed improvements to operations and maintenance leadership in the area of equipment maintenance including philosophies, strategies, and best maintenance practices. This position focuses on sustaining or improving equipment to current performance standards and works with the reliability engineer to lead longer term improvements for electrical and instrumentation equipment using the facility’s change of design process or capital projects. The position will require working directly with electrical and instrumentation mechanics in the field providing technical support and guidance. 

Primary responsibilities will include but not be limited to:

• Monitor equipment performance and troubleshoot equipment failures.

• Work with maintenance supervision, planners, and technicians to develop equipment repair plans.

• Work with interdisciplinary groups to develop and execute projects through the sites management of change process.

• Provide technical input to the maintenance coordinator and operations team for determining the criticality of scheduling equipment down for needed maintenance.

• Work with reliability engineer to obtain and interpret maintenance and reliability metrics for recommending needed improvements or changes.

• Support capital projects by participating and reviewing equipment selection and layout to optimize “maintainability” and meet site reliability goals.

• Promote consistency by standardizing equipment, providing technical expertise for installation, check-out, maintenance procedures and start-up of all new or modified critical equipment, and assuring that necessary spare parts are identified and maintained properly.

• Analyze equipment trends, historical data, and field data to recommend and justify improvements to obtain lowest life cycle cost on different classes of equipment.

• Identify training needs for mechanics and others supporting the maintenance function.

• Participate in PSM activities as defined by site manuals and practices, mainly focused on mechanical integrity (MI) and quality assurance (QA).
