Responsibilities

Provide brownfield project-level and rapid response engineering for facility modifications, focusing on strategic initiatives such as surface artificial lift, compression optimization, and facility retrofits.
Design surface facilities such as compression systems, control valves, piping, storage tanks, combustors, and pressure relief systems to optimize process safety and well pad production.
Initiate and coordinate Management of Change (MOC) processes for facility modifications, including work packs, P&IDs, cause-and-effect diagrams, and plot plans.
Lead design reviews and risk assessments inclusive of HAZOP / What If studies to eliminate personal and process safety risks through effective implementation of the hierarchy of controls.
Lead project management of engineered solutions, including economic analysis, cost management, and post-implementation appraisals.
Analyze material release data, perform Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA), and execute corrective actions and projects to reduce failures and associated costs.
Lead defect elimination, and reliability improvement initiatives in collaboration with maintenance and operations team to minimize down time.
Manage and optimize chemical treatment, integrity management and specialty / safety critical equipment programs.
Manage and oversee service providers (e.g., engineering, compression, chemical, etc.) to ensure compliance with established safety and performance KPIs.
Embrace a positive culture of collaboration by sharing lessons learned across disciplines and between business functions.
Participate in BP technical networks and communities of practice, maintaining a strong awareness of technical learnings and developing links with specialists and engineers from a range of disciplines.
