Reliability Engineer Job at WTS Energy

• The Reliability Engineer plays a critical role in ensuring the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of upstream oil and gas facilities.
• The role focuses on analyzing equipment performance, identifying potential failures, and implementing strategies to enhance asset integrity, availability, and lifecycle performance.
• The Reliability Engineer will apply reliability-centered maintenance principles, root cause failure analysis, and predictive maintenance techniques to optimize operational efficiency, reduce unplanned downtime, and drive continuous improvement in asset reliability.

• Develop and implement asset reliability strategies and maintenance programs to enhance equipment uptime, reduce failures, and optimize lifecycle performance.
• Apply reliability-centered maintenance (RCM), root cause analysis (RCA), and failure mode effects analysis (FMEA) techniques to improve asset performance.
• Define preventive and predictive maintenance plans tailored to critical upstream production and drilling equipment.

• Monitor reliability KPIs, including Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), and equipment availability.
• Leverage data analytics and digital tools (CMMS, historian, and predictive monitoring systems) to track equipment performance and anticipate failures.
• Maintain a reliability database and recommend updates based on equipment history and performance data.

• Conduct risk assessments on production equipment and facilities to identify potential failures and impacts on production and safety.
• Support asset integrity programs, including corrosion monitoring, inspection schedules, and fitness-for-service evaluations.
• Collaborate with QA/QC and HSE teams to ensure compliance with international standards (API, ISO, ASME).

• Provide reliability input during project design, commissioning, and start-up to ensure maintainability and long-term integrity.
• Participate in shutdowns/turnarounds to ensure reliability activities are embedded in planning and execution.
• Support engineering modifications and upgrades with reliability analysis and recommendations.

• Liaise with operations, drilling, maintenance, and engineering teams to align reliability initiatives with production goals.
• Prepare and present reliability reports, highlighting performance gaps, corrective actions, and continuous improvement plans.
• Mentor junior engineers and technicians in reliability methodologies and best practices.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical, Petroleum, Electrical, or related Engineering discipline.
• 7 - 10 years of experience in upstream oil and gas operations, preferably in reliability or maintenance engineering.
• Certification in Reliability Engineering (CRE), RCM, or Asset Integrity Management is an advantage.
• Strong knowledge of rotating equipment, static equipment, and subsea/production facilities.
• Experience in CMMS (SAP, Maximo) and reliability tools/software.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with ability to interpret large sets of performance data.
• Proficiency in reliability engineering tools (RCA, FMEA, Weibull analysis).
• Excellent knowledge of asset integrity, corrosion management, and maintenance strategies.
• Good communication and presentation skills for technical and management audiences.

• Technical Expertise: Deep understanding of upstream production systems and equipment reliability.
• Safety & Integrity Mindset: Ensures reliability initiatives enhance safety and environmental performance.
• Collaboration: Ability to work with multidisciplinary teams across operations, maintenance, and projects.
• Continuous Improvement: Proactive approach in identifying performance gaps and implementing sustainable solutions.
• Leadership: Capable of mentoring junior staff and influencing decision-making at leadership level.
