Specialist Engineer, Reliability

Role Overview

Specialist Engineer, Reliability at KBR. This role is based at ADNOC assets.

Role Purpose

Lead reliability engineering initiatives across ADNOC plant systems and equipment, interpreting asset performance data and delivering structured recommendations to optimize maintenance strategies, prevent failures, and align operations with offshore safety and industry standards.

Key Responsibilities

Reliability Analysis & Assessment

• Lead and perform Reliability, Availability, Maintainability (RAM) analysis for plant systems and equipment across ADNOC assets.
• Monitor and assess key performance indicators such as MTTR, MTBF, Availability, and other reliability indices through validated data sources (e.g., SAP, Maximo).
• Interpret asset performance data and present findings to stakeholders.

Maintenance Strategy Development

• Develop, validate, and optimize equipment-specific maintenance strategies and preventive maintenance programs using RCM, FMEA/FMECA.
• Conduct asset criticality assessment and ensure alignment with ADNOC Offshore policies, safety requirements (SIL), and industry best practices.
• Review existing preventive maintenance (PM) history and execution data to re-engineer and optimize PM strategies for effectiveness, efficiency, and alignment with actual field practices.

Failure Prevention & Root Cause Analysis

• Facilitate and lead Root Cause Analyses (RCAs) and provide structured recommendations to prevent recurrence of failures.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, Control, Corrosion, Metallurgy, Process or related Engineering field; Master's Degree preferred.
• Minimum 12 years of extensive experience in RAM analysis, measurement of reliability, facilitation of RCAs and FMEA/RCMs, PM optimization, and asset criticality.
• Experience preferably with ADNOC or other major operators.
• Offshore experience is a plus.

Skills & Competencies

• Expert knowledge in a specific area of engineering with extensive field experience.
• Proficiency in Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) methodologies.
• Expertise in Root Cause Analysis (RCA) facilitation.
• Expertise in Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA/FMECA).
• Expertise in Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM).
• Proficiency with SAP and Maximo data systems.
• Asset criticality assessment skills.
• Ability to interpret and present complex data to stakeholders.

Additional Information

Professional Certifications (Preferred)

• Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE).
• Certified Maintenance and Reliability Professional (CMRP).
• Certified Oil and Gas Maintenance Engineer.
• Certification in Reliability Engineering from reputed organizations/societies such as ASQ, SRE, CMRP/SMRP, or TUV.
