The role will involve investigating process and equipment issues, undertaking root cause analysis and implementing effective corrective actions. You will also provide technical input to capital projects and modifications, including specifications, design reviews and commissioning activities.

You will be responsible for reviewing and approving process work scopes, job packs and method statements, as well as providing technical oversight of contractors and vendors to ensure work is delivered safely, to the required quality and in accordance with technical and contractual requirements.

The position will also provide support during turnaround, commissioning and start-up activities, together with involvement in safety studies and risk assessments including HAZOP, HAZID and LOPA. You will contribute to management of change activities by assessing the technical and operational impact of proposed changes.

A key aspect of the role will be maintaining robust technical documentation, including drawings, datasheets, calculations and operating and maintenance procedures. You will also act as a Lead Investigator using Kelvin TopSet investigation techniques to support business requirements and continuous improvement.

We are looking for an experienced process engineer with proven experience within onshore and offshore oil and gas operations, maintenance and asset integrity.
