Senior Technical Services Engineer

Purpose and Scope

Provide technical support, performance and process expertise to ensure continued efficient operation, good plant availability, reliability and optimization as a member of the Engineering team.

Key Roles and Responsibilities

Technical Support

• Review technical documents.

• Work closely with operations, maintenance, business improvement, safety and procurement teams for improvement projects scoping alignment and execution coordination and review the selection of vendors.

• Review risk analysis on plant and equipment.

• Review the development and implementation of processes for asset integrity management systems.

• Facilitate the provision of discipline engineering support to plant O&M team to resolve issues that arise in the plant requiring expertise beyond the plant level and liaising with the OEMs/ vendors for problem solving. (eg. RCA)

• Formulate strategies for plant integrity and inspection with the maintenance team.

• Verify cross-functional integrity audit findings and recommend corrective and preventive measures.

• Drive equipment reliability and availability reviews to maximise equipment utilisation.

• Provide recommendations for equipment efficiency improvements, including new versus rebuilt equipment, existing versus new technologies and labour versus automation to achieve best value engineering solutions.

• Strategise the use of data analytics across the plant and derive actionable insights for alternative engineering solutions.

Performance and System Optimisation

• Monitor and analyse system performance, carry out troubleshooting and optimization (Steam production, Boiler etc).

• Work closely with the O&M team, establish and continuously improve the monitoring matrix to enable detection of short term and long-term process and performance abnormality.

• Lead the performance test data analysis, identify the gap and improvement area, recommend the actions for rectification and follow through the implementation for closure.

• Establish, improve and monitor the plant and system mass balance (heat, material, and water etc), identify the abnormality such as leaks, uncounted loss, meter/instrument inaccuracy, and efficiency deterioration etc. Lead and coordinate other stakeholders to rectify the issues.

• Provide technical expertise in the optimization initiative conceptualization and implementation. Keep track of the performance and cost savings benefits qualification and post implementation review of optimization initiatives.

• Provide technical and operation insight to support in plant improvement projects and new energy-from-Waste projects including process engineering review, calculations for mass/energy balances, equipment sizing, key equipment selection, material compatibility considerations and other duties assigned for process and engineering evaluation.

Qualification, Skills and Experience

• Bachelor's Degree in Engineering or related field (Mechanical Engineering/ Chemical Engineering/ Electrical Engineering etc)

• Proven experience (minimum 5 years) in power/utilities plant operations and maintenance

• Experience in handling projects will be an advantage

• Knowledge of reliability methodologies, including FMEA, RCM, and condition-based maintenance

• Familiarity with relevant industry standards and best practices

• Proactive in keeping up with new technologies and looking for solutions to optimize plant operations

• Independent with initiatives, resourceful and positive attitude

• Good team player and able to deliver results within tight deadlines

• Strong interpersonal, communication and presentation skills
