Job description
Systematically track, analyze, and eliminate electrical equipment bad actors across operating facilities to improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and mean time between failures (MTBF).
Evaluate health monitoring data, electrical predictive maintenance (PdM) reports, and operating trends for early detection of asset degradation.
Maintain and optimize bad actor lists, tracking resolution progress and calculating return on investment for corrective measures.
2. Root Cause Analysis (RCA) & Problem Solving
Lead structured RCA investigations (e.g., 5-Why, Fishbone, TapRooT, FMEA) for major electrical failures, unplanned outages, and near-miss incidents.
Focus RCA efforts on critical medium-to-high voltage power systems, including:
Medium/High Voltage Motors & Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)
Metal-clad Switchgear & Protective Relays
Air, Oil, and Vacuum Circuit Breakers
Develop clear, actionable recommendations based on RCA findings and collaborate with plant operations to ensure timely implementation.
3. Reliability & Maintenance Strategy
Partner with facility operations and maintenance teams to refine Preventive Maintenance (PM) and Predictive Maintenance (PdM) programs for critical electrical assets.
Drive advanced conditioning technologies such as infrared thermography, partial discharge monitoring, dissolved gas analysis (DGA), oil sampling, and online motor testing.
Review single-line diagrams, relay settings, and electrical protection schemes to identify system vulnerabilities.
4. Operational Support & Regional Oversight
Serve as the technical subject matter expert (SME) for site electrical engineers and maintenance technicians during complex troubleshooting or turnaround activities.
Conduct field site visits and technical audits across facilities within the Western U.S. region.
