Job description

The Role

With a wide global reach, the new SEAM organization integrates Safety, Environment, and Asset Management functions to support Shell’s operations and assets all over the world.

SEAM’s mission is to offer expertise in all areas of safety, environment, and asset management, including:

• bringing new technology and methods of working to the business, such as digital, SBO, real-time, data-driven, end-to-end optimization, and risk management, as well as international initiatives like the Human Performance Based Safety Philosophy, will help to shape future work practices.
• Giving comments on performance to encourage disciplined execution to provide dependable, predictable results
• assisting firms in creating development strategies and offering assistance in carrying them out
• Maintaining performance via the development of strong core competencies (internal, including SBO & contingent), knowledge, and an approach that is consistent throughout the whole organization

Maximizing integrated business value across the enterprise will be the responsibility of the VP TAO. The faster delivery of Shell’s Asset Management System is made possible by Technical Asset Operations (TAO), which will help us realise our full potential in Upstream, Integrated Gas, and Downstream Manufacturing. TAO offers highly qualified and reasonably priced technical people who are a crucial element of asset teams producing value through end-to-end AMS work processes but are not physically present at the site.

This position is designed to assist mechanical maintenance engineers in organising their work and putting standard work packs for rotating and static mechanical equipment’s preventative and corrective maintenance into action.

Purpose & Accountabilities

• preparing/developing work plans with thorough work packs from overhaul reports, maintenance reports, general task lists, equipment-specific task lists, spare part lists, equipment drawings, circuit diagrams, P&IDs, operation and maintenance manuals of OEMs, asset best practices, technical implementation letters (TIL), etc. for heavy-duty rotary equipment like engines, pumps, compressors, turbines, etc., and static equipment like columns, safet
• Creating work packs with a thorough description of the activities needed to overhaul or maintain each piece of equipment, including the materials, tools, time, and relationships between the various jobs.
• To enable high equipment reliability and plant technical availability, prepare an initial response, conduct an assessment, ensure that work is properly prioritized, troubleshoot problems and virtually propose solutions, coordinate discussions with stakeholders, conduct a risk assessment, ensure good QA/QC, keep records, and complete the job.
• Planning PM & CM work orders in Maximo/SAP and creating library work packs that include thorough descriptions of the tasks necessary for time & condition-based maintenance, breakdown maintenance, ordering parts, services, or tools needed, estimating the time needed, estimating the cost of work order, network mapping, and quality checkpoints for minimum assurance tasks are also recommended.
• Job risk assessment, outlining potential hazards that may arise while carrying out duties, and establishing a work permit.
• It is important to determine the state of the system for each operation activity job and whether there are any available shutdown windows or good chances for maintenance activities.
• End-to-end work order planning is necessary for effective scheduling and to guarantee that work orders are followed to the letter.
• On the basis of anomaly reports, information from corrective maintenance work requests, and failure mode determination, a first-level diagnostic of damage history is made.
• CM work requests should be looked into and analyzed to determine the root of the issue. Work orders should then be prepared with explicit instructions for fixing the damage, along with any other relevant processes, sketches, specs, or drawings.
• By ensuring the resource, unique tools, materials, and service needs are available before the project begins, productivity may be improved.
• By including site conditions and specifications, you may transform the equipment make and model-specific work packs into site-specific work packs.
• Convert the turnaround documents to the global work packs to account for the PM library modifications.
• Engage site maintenance leaders, original equipment manufacturers, and suppliers often, and adjust the work packs as the site maintenance staff suggests or requests.
• Using the data gleaned from maintenance manuals, estimate and prepare for the obligatory spares, tools, and labor needed for the heavy-duty equipment. If further information regarding the equipment and its spares is needed, gather it from the vendors and include it in the work pack.
• Interact and communicate with the site focal point for preventive maintenance libraries and maintenance strategies, gaining an understanding of the specifics of how the actual maintenance activities for machinery, including heavy-duty rotating equipment, have been planned and carried out in various Operating Units of Shell.
• Knowing how various tools and equipment work as well as having a solid understanding of how to read and interpret engineering drawings (P&IDs, PEFS, PFDs).
• preserving problem records and using them to create process modifications or enhancements, as well as identifying and fixing any bottlenecks in data analysis.

Dimensions

• No annual budgets are under your direct control, however, budgets for departments and production areas may be affected.
• Although there are no direct employees, the applicant is anticipated to coach and mentor less experienced workers.
