CONTROL & INSTRUMENTATION (C&I) RELIABILITY SUPERINTENDENT

Entity: GEGL

Position: Control & Instrumentation (C&I) Reliability Superintendent

Division/Department: Operations & Maintenance (OM)/Midstream (MID)/ Gas Conditioning Plant (PGCP)

Location: Prestea, Western Region, Ghana (West Africa)

Report Directly to: Plant Manager

Subordinate: C&I Reliability Engineer (1)

Designation Level: Functional Head

OBJECTIVE:
The C&I Reliability Superintendent will be responsible for identifying and managing asset reliability risks that could adversely affect the gas conditioning plant and its operations. The C&I Reliability Superintendent will ensure the availability of assets and the overall reliability of the gas conditioning plant (equipment, processes, utilities, facilities, and safety/security systems) through good practices of monitoring and maintenance.

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

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

• Configuration of set points in valves and verification of instruments, software control installation, laying cable up, etc.

• 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.

• Read and interpret blueprints, data sheets and specifications, control and wiring diagrams, list of instruments and signals, list of cables and materials, control loops, architectures and control philosophies,
  control narratives.

• 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.

• Weibull analysis.

• Six Sigma (6σ) methodology.

• 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:

• Asset utilization.

• Overall equipment effectiveness.

• Remaining useful life.

• Other parameters that define operating condition, reliability, and costs of assets.

• Provide technical support to the Operations Team and Plant Manager.

• Apply value analysis to repair/replace, repair/redesign and make/buy decisions.

• Execute predictive and preventive maintenance to eliminate catastrophic failures and unplanned maintenance.

• Review the supporting documentation for permits to work and submit
  it to the Plant Manager for approval.

• Maintain required regulatory documentation updated.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• BSc in Control & Instrumentation, Electronic, Mechatronic, or Electrical 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 at gas processing plants.

• A minimum of 6+ years of post-qualification experience and competence in
  gas processing plants and reliability processes.

• Familiarity with regulatory requirements for operating plants, including Process Safety Management, OSHA regulations, EPA regulations, EEOC guidelines, and other federal and local requirements.

• Familiarity with Instrumentation and Industrial Automation, Supervision Systems (SCADA and HMI), PLC-PAC programming, and industrial networks.
