Senior Rotating Equipment Reliability Engineer

Job Description

Rotating Equipment Reliability Engineer

Refinery Mechanical Reliability | Full-Time | Martinez, CA

Position Overview

Our client is seeking a talented Rotating Equipment Reliability Engineer

to ensure the cost-effective reliability and mechanical integrity of

refinery machinery. In this role, you will work closely with Machinery

Inspectors on both long-term reliability objectives and day-to-day

troubleshooting of a wide range of rotating equipment including pumps,

turbines, compressors, gearboxes, fans, and blowers. You will play a key

role in driving safety, reducing loss of primary containment (LOPC)

incidents, and developing and executing short- and long-term reliability

strategies across the facility.

Key Responsibilities

• Foster a Goal Zero safety and environmental performance mindset as it relates to rotating equipment systems; drive LOPC incident reduction and demonstrate a sustained commitment to reducing operational and maintenance safety risks.
• Assist Machinery Inspectors with troubleshooting equipment and
  
  

provide actionable recommendations for machinery problems to

assigned business teams.

• Lead or participate in root cause failure analysis (RCFA) and risk
  
  

analysis investigations to identify systemic issues and eliminate

repeat failures.

- Evaluate current equipment performance to develop and support short-

and long-term reliability plans, capital projects, and turnaround

scope through execution.

• Develop bad actor resolutions, repair and maintenance strategies,
  
  

and design alternatives that address health, safety, environmental,

reliability, operability, and maintainability considerations.

• Review and develop operating and maintenance procedures related to
  
  

rotating equipment.

• Initiate Management of Change (MOC) documents and complete
  
  

associated engineering reviews for rotating equipment changes in

assigned areas.

• Support day-to-day troubleshooting and performance monitoring to
  
  

ensure machinery operability, environmental compliance, and process

safety.

• Provide scope definition and technical oversight to external vendor
  
  

shops executing machinery repairs.

Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• 10 or more years of experience in refinery, petrochemical, or
  
  

equivalent industrial machinery design, repair, and maintenance.

• Working knowledge of national codes and standards including API,
  
  

ANSI, and ASME.

• Experience in root cause failure analysis (RCFA) and bad actor
  
  

troubleshooting.

• Exposure to steam turbines, centrifugal and positive displacement
  
  

pumps and compressors, lubrication systems, mechanical seals, and

vibration monitoring equipment.

• Familiarity with machinery performance analysis including compressor
  
  

and pump efficiency evaluation, vibration analysis, and hydraulic

analysis.

• Understanding basic instrument design and low voltage applications,
  
  

construction, and operating principles as they relate to machinery

monitoring and protection systems.

• Experience with machinery condition monitoring tools such as Bentley
  
  

Nevada System 1, SKF, and Windrock.

• Willingness to work an adjusted schedule during high-maintenance
  
  

events such as turnarounds, project execution, and equipment

overhauls.

• Participation in the refinery on-call Mechanical Team duty rotation
  
  

for off-hours support, with the ability to respond to abnormal plant

operation events.

Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• 3 or more years of experience in refinery, petrochemical, or equivalent industrial machinery design, repair, and maintenance.
• Working knowledge of national codes and standards including API, ANSI, and ASME.
