Associate Engineer - Reliability Static

The new SEAM organization integrates Safety, Environment & Asset Management activities and positions from existing lines of business (Integrated Gas, Downstream & Upstream) and central teams (PTS, Asset Management Excellence). With a broad geographical footprint, this will enable the new team to support Shell’s business & assets around the world.
The VP TAO will be accountable for maximizing integrated business value across the organization. Technical Asset Operations (TAO) is a key enabler for the accelerated delivery of Shell’s Asset Management System and will help us to reach our ultimate potential in Downstream Manufacturing, Integrated Gas and Upstream. TAO provides high quality and cost-competitive technical resources who are not physically present at site yet are an integral part of asset teams delivering value through end-to-end AMS work processes.

MRTA is about understanding and maintaining our equipment as effectively and efficiently as possible, making sure it performs as intended. The Reliability discipline covers the development of Reliability strategies and the planning, coordination and execution of Reliability activities. These activities relate to equipment strategy optimisation, defect elimination and Reliability improvement, root cause and causal learning analysis, and Integrity Assurance, thereby reducing facility deferment and Integrity incidents.
