• Lead Investigation of operational issues to establish root cause
• Introduce containment actions and recommend corrective actions
• Provide technical surveillance and quality assurance audits to support continuous product enhancement for customer satisfaction and business expectation.
• Develop the technical content of technical publications/communications (used by OEM, build/commissioning/maintenance bases and customers) including acceptance limit development.
• Set reliability targets (such operational disruption metrics) based on historical data and monitor performance against targets.
• Predict future safety and reliability performance based on failure rates, adopting statistical techniques to support Numerical Risk Assessment, Parametric Distribution and fly forward analysis.
• Identify cost reduction opportunities by reviewing and maintaining life cycle engineering policies and any associated maintenance planning documentation.
• Manage any issues that affect the Maturity, Lifecycle Cost, Reliability and Maintainability and maintain Design Intent.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering
