Reliability & Rotating Equipment Engineer

Saudi Aramco

We are seeking a reliability/rotating equipment engineer to join the North Ghawar Maintenance Division (NGMD) / Reliability Unit (RU) of North Ghawar Producing Department (NGPD).

The RU's scope includes condition-based maintenance, reliability-centered maintenance, and failure analysis to identify and mitigate potential equipment failures. By leveraging these services, the RU aims to optimize rotating equipment reliability, reduce maintenance costs, and improve overall asset efficiency.

Your primary role is to provide proactive maintenance support, including rotating equipment reliability, Predictive Maintenance (PDM) services such as vibration analysis and oil analysis, and overseeing rotating equipment overhaul activities to ensure optimal equipment performance and minimize downtime.

Key Responsibilities:

As the successful candidate you will be required to perform the following:

• Develop and implement comprehensive reliability and maintenance strategies for rotating equipment, including pumps, compressors, Dry Gas Seal Systems, and gearboxes.
• Oversee and perform Product Data Management (PDM) services, such as vibration analysis and oil analysis, to identify potential equipment failures and recommend corrective actions.
• Develop and implement condition-based maintenance programs to optimize equipment performance and minimize downtime.
• Develop and implement reliability-centered maintenance programs to identify and prioritize maintenance activities based on equipment reliability and criticality.
• Perform failure analysis on equipment to identify root causes of failures and recommend corrective actions to prevent repeat failures.
• Perform technical evaluations of new equipment to ensure compliance with industry standards and codes, and to identify potential reliability and maintenance issues.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards and codes, such as American Petroleum Institute (API), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and American Society for Testing and Materials ASTM, for rotating equipment and reliability engineering.
• Prepare technical reports and presentations to communicate findings and recommendations to stakeholders, including management and operations teams.
• Perform oil analysis and other predictive maintenance tests to identify potential equipment problems and recommend corrective actions.
• Perform diagnostics on rotating equipment, including pumps, compressors, and gearboxes, to identify potential problems and recommend corrective actions.
• Maintain Reliability Unit KPIs such as, Maintenance cost reduction, Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), Mean Time To Repair (MTTR)
