• Safety & Compliance: Establish and enforce safety protocols, maintenance procedures, and environmental regulations to maintain a safe and compliant facility. 

• Process Optimization: Continuously identify opportunities for process improvement, energy efficiency, and cost reduction. 

• Budget Management: Support the Plant Managers to develop and manage the plant's operational budget, including cost control and expenditure forecasting. 

• Emergency Response: Develop and maintain emergency response plans and ensure all staff are trained for effective response to incidents. 

• Reporting: Support the Plant Managers to prepare regular reports for senior management and the client, detailing plant performance, safety, and compliance metrics. 

ENGINEERING, PROCUREMENT & CONSTRUCTION (EPC) 

• Assist the EPC Project Team during the Construction, Installation and Commissioning Phase: 

• Review Authorized For Construction drawings (AFCs), P&IDs, and commissioning checklists. 

• Review all Red Lines and As Built Drawings to confirm accuracy and compliance with original designs and modifications. 

• Supervise the completion of installation tasks during the construction phase, while ensuring adherence to industry regulations and company policies. 

• Make recommendations to the HSE Team to develop strategies to improve health, safety, and environmental standards at all production systems. 

• Ensure that warranty and punch list issues are effectively managed after commissioning of the plant. 

• Ensure adherence with quality assurance and quality control (QAQC) standards. 

OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE (OM) 

• Ensure the reliability and maintainability of installations. Responsible for adhering to the life cycle asset management (LCAM) process throughout the entire life cycle of assets: 

• Inlet-Outlet Module: Gas Inlet Separation (PP01 & PP03) Systems. 

• Cryogenic Module: Amine Systems, De-Hydration Systems, Pre-Cooling Systems, Cryogenic Systems. 

• Fractionation Module: Fractionation Systems, Refrigeration Systems, BoG Recovery Systems. 

• Utilities Module: Power Generation Systems, Natural Gas Compressor Systems, Air Compression Systems, Hot Oil Systems, Fire & Gas Systems, Circulating Cooling Water Systems. 

• Terminal Module: Flare Gas Systems, Storage Systems, Export (Loading) Systems and Emergency Shutdown Systems. 

• Liquefied Natural Gas Compression Systems. 

• All other Electrical systems associated with the equipment, systems and modules listed above. 

• Responsible for designing, developing, monitoring, and refining an
  asset maintenance plan that includes: 

• Value-added predictive, proactive, preventive, and corrective maintenance tasks. 

• Effective utilization of predictive and other non-destructive testing methodologies designed to identify and isolate inherent reliability problems. 

• Ensure the optimum utilization of the CMMS. 

• Provide input to a risk management plan that will anticipate reliability-related and non-reliability-related risks that could adversely impact the plant operations. 

• Develop engineering solutions to repetitive failures and all other problems that adversely affect the plant operations (capacity, quality, cost, or regulatory compliance issues): 

• Statistical process control. 

• Reliability modeling and prediction. 

• Fault tree analysis. 

• Root cause analysis (RCA) and root cause failure analysis (RCFA). 

• Failure reporting, analysis, and corrective action system (FRACAS). 
• Work with the Operations Team to perform analysis of assets including: 

QUALIFICATIONS: 

• BSc in Electrical, Electromechanical, or Instrumentation & Control Engineering. 

• Master in Engineering, Business, or Management, is a plus. 

KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE: 

• A minimum of 8+ years of experience in the Oil & Gas industry, specifically in gas facilities. 

• A minimum of 6+ years of post-qualification experience and competence in gas conditioning / processing plant management and reliability processes.
