  • Technical Compliance: Ensure all mechanical repairs and modifications comply with international codes, specifically API 610/617, ASME B31.3, and ASME Section VIII.
  • SAP-PM Management: Oversee the lifecycle of work orders within SAP, ensuring accurate data capture for maintenance history and spare parts inventory.
  • Safety Leadership: Drive a "Zero Harm" culture by conducting Job Safety Managements (JSA) and ensuring all maintenance activities follow Process Safety Management (PSM) protocols.
  • Communicate effectively with stakeholders to ensure alignment and project success.
  • Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering.
  • Industry Experience: 10+ years of maintenance engineering experience specifically within a Petrochemical Plant or Oil Refinery.
  • Utility Expertise: Proven track record maintaining utility-specific equipment (Boilers, RO Plants, Steam Turbines, and Air Compressors).
  • RCA Mastery: Demonstrated experience leading Root Cause Analysis and implementing technical solutions in a high-pressure environment.
  • Software Skills: Proficiency in SAP (Plant Maintenance module) and engineering design software (AutoCAD).
  • Standards Knowledge: Deep familiarity with API and ASME codes relevant to refinery utilities.
  • Communication: Fluent in English with the ability to present technical reliability reports to plant leadership.
