Condition Monitoring, Reliability & Process Safety

• Plan, supervise, and evaluate advanced heat exchanger tube inspection techniques such as RFET, ECT, IRIS, and other specialized methods.
• Review results of conventional and advanced NDT techniques including RT, UT, MPT, DPT, PMI,hardness testing, and other inspection methods, ensuring correct technique selection based on service conditions and equipment criticality.
• Coordinate Condition Monitoring (CMC) activities including oil analysis, vibration monitoring, thermography, and machinery health assessments.
• Review vibration analysis reports and support corrective actions working proficiency invibration analysis software is desirable.
• Support machine rotor balancing activities to achieve acceptable vibration levels and reliable operation.
• Support reliability improvement initiatives through trend analysis and failure data review.
• Support and implement Process Safety Management (PSM) requirements related to mechanical integrity.
• Participate in Root Cause Analysis (RCA), HAZOP, HIRA, safety audits, and Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) studies.

Leadership, Planning & Compliance

• Lead and supervise inspection engineers, technicians, and contractor personnel involved in inspection, NDT, and CMC activities.
• Carry out daily job and resource planning and ensure safe, quality execution of inspection works in line with plant safety standards.
• Prepare technical reports, inspection documentation, statutory records, and maintain comprehensive inspection history.
• Prepare scopes of work, technical specifications, BOQs, and enquiry documents for inspection, NDT, and CMC-related contracts.
• Coordinate with Purchase and Contracts departments for technical evaluation, procurement, and contract execution.
• Support planning, scheduling, budgeting, and cost control related to inspection and reliability functions.
• Ensure compliance with Integrated Management Systems (IMS) covering Quality, Environment, and Occupational Health & Safety.
• Ensure adherence to statutory and regulatory requirements, including working familiarity with AERB guidelines related to radiography and radiation safety.

HESQ

• Implement Safety and HESQ policies across inspection and CMC activities.
• Ensure compliance with Integrated Management Systems (IMS) covering Quality, Environment, and OH&S.
• Ensure timely response to health, safety, environmental incidents and compliance with audit recommendations.
• Promote safety culture and arrange training for employees and contractor personnel.
