GOA Reliability Engineer

The Reliability Engineer – Offshore Operations provides reliability engineering leadership to improve the safety, reliability, availability, and performance of offshore production, utility, and safety systems. This role partners with Operations, Maintenance, Inspection, Automation, Supply Chain, and Engineering to reduce equipment failures and production deferment; optimize maintenance strategies; strengthen asset integrity; and support safe, efficient facility operations.

Primary

Reliability and Asset Performance

Monitor and analyze equipment performance, reliability trends, and maintenance effectiveness across offshore assets.

Develop, maintain, and improve reliability strategies for critical production, utility, and safety systems.

Identify equipment bad actors and recurring failures through data-driven analysis and cross-functional review.

Establish, track, and communicate reliability key performance indicators, including mean time between failures (MTBF), mean time to repair (MTTR), equipment availability, and maintenance compliance.

Facilitate reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) studies and maintenance-optimization initiatives.

Failure Analysis and Technical Support

Lead root cause failure analysis (RCFA) investigations for significant equipment failures, repeat failures, and production losses.

Provide technical support for equipment troubleshooting, major outages, and recovery activities.

Develop corrective actions and reliability-improvement plans; monitor progress through closure.

Support management-of-change activities associated with equipment modifications and reliability improvements.

Maintenance Strategy and Optimization

Review preventive and predictive maintenance programs for technical effectiveness, risk reduction, and cost efficiency.

Optimize maintenance strategies using condition-monitoring data, equipment history, risk assessments, and operating context.

Support planning and execution of shutdowns, turnarounds, and major maintenance campaigns.

Improve SAP maintenance plans, task lists, and equipment master data to support reliable execution and quality data.

Condition Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance

Use and interpret vibration analysis, thermography, oil analysis, ultrasonic testing, and process data to identify degradation trends.

Review condition-monitoring findings and recommend corrective actions based on equipment risk and operating impact.

Support implementation and expansion of predictive-maintenance technologies and associated work processes.

Risk, Asset Integrity, and Compliance

Support asset-integrity programs for mechanical, structural, electrical, instrumentation, and rotating-equipment systems.

Participate in risk assessments and reliability reviews for critical and safety-critical equipment.

Support barrier-management and safety-critical-equipment assurance programs.

Perform work in accordance with company standards, applicable regulatory requirements, and industry best practices.

Projects and Continuous Improvement

Provide reliability engineering input during design, commissioning, and startup of new projects and facility modifications.

Participate in factory acceptance tests, equipment inspections, and commissioning activities, as assigned.

Review equipment specifications, maintainability requirements, and maintenance

during project development.

Identify opportunities to improve equipment availability, reduce lifecycle cost, and enhance maintenance execution.

Develop business cases for equipment upgrades, replacement projects, and reliability initiatives.

Promote reliability best practices and support maintenance and reliability data-analytics initiatives across offshore facilities.
