Engineer I - Reliability

Policies, Processes & Procedures Implements functional policies, systems, processes, procedures and controls covering all areas of the Reliability Engineering function so that all relevant procedural/legislative requirements are fulfilled while delivering a quality, cost-effective service in a consistent manner. Day-to-Day Operations Carries out day-to-day operations of the Reliability Engineering function to ensure that work processes are implemented as designed and comply with technical specifications, engineering standards, and other established policies, processes and procedures. Loss Elimination Supports in the development and implementation of plans in the assigned area (Clarification/ Calcination), in coordination with the Production team, in order to eliminate or reduce production losses and high maintenance cost. Risk Management Carries out simple assets analyses, in collaboration with Production team, on asset utilisation, equipment effectiveness, remaining useful life and other related parameters that define operating conditions, reliability and cost of assets within the assigned area (Clarification/ Calcination) in order to identify and reduce the risks related to environmental health and safety, asset capability, quality and production. Provides initial recommendations within assigned operations area on areas for improving asset reliability and minimising maintenance costs. Asset Management Designs, develops, monitors and refines the Asset Maintenance Plan in the assigned operations area (Clarification/ Calcination), which includes value-added preventive maintenance tasks and steers the use of effective utilisation of predictive and other non-destructive testing methodologies designed to identify and isolate inherent reliability problems. Participates in the development of simple design and installation specifications along with commissioning plans utilising equipment, tools and pertinent software, and provides inputs to the Reliability Engineering team in order to build capability and knowledge in the assigned area. Provides inputs to the development of criteria for evaluation of equipment, technical MRO suppliers and technical maintenance service providers, as well as the development of acceptance tests and inspection criteria in order to ensure that the maintenance activities within the assigned area (Clarification/ Calcination) are carried out optimally without any disruptions. Provides support in improving preventive and condition monitoring maintenance plan through carrying out simple inspection, testing and collection of technical data from system, mechanical sets and components in order to ensure the asset is maintained reliably and costs are controlled. Issue Resolution Provides first-line support to the operating areas on simple (Clarification/ Calcination) maintenance, process and operational issues, and responds to related queries in order to ensure timely, smooth and quick problem resolution. Executes simple audits, checks, and technical assessments on equipment and mechanical components in the assigned area in order to identify any issues/ problems in the equipment, and take necessary actions to resolve them timely. Continuous Improvement Conducts research and benchmarking in order to remain abreast of best practices in the assigned area (Clarification/ Calcination), contribute to the enhancement of processes, procedures and systems, and ensure that Al Taweelah Alumina Refinery continuously improves its product quality and optimises its use of energy, primary raw materials and secondary raw materials. Safety, Quality & Environment Implements all relevant safety, quality and environmental management policies, procedures and controls in order to ensure employee and contractors’ safety, legislative compliance and a responsible environmental attitude. Related Assignments Performs other related duties or assignments as directed.
