Electrical Engineer

Description

We are seeking a highly motivated Electrical Engineer to join our team at an alumina refinery. This role is critical in driving equipment reliability, managing change processes, and executing capital and improvement projects. The successful candidate will lead root cause analysis (RCA) for equipment failures, champion continuous improvement initiatives, and manage projects using the Front-End Loaded (FEL) process.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities:

• Monitor and      improve the OEE of Plantwide Electrical systems
  • Improve the       onstream factor of electrical industrial manufacturing system plantwide: sub-stations       and power distribution to manufacturing equipment, starters, VFDs, protection       systems, drives/motors, power and DCS interfacing system, etc.
  • Ensure systems       are performing at their optimum throughput.
  • Guide the       maintenance department on best practices to reduce failures, reduce total       operating cost of equipment, maintenance frequency and how to.
• Root Cause      Analysis (RCA):
  • Lead       investigations into equipment failures and chronic reliability issues.
  • Facilitate       cross-functional RCA sessions and develop actionable recommendations.
  • Track and       report on corrective actions and effectiveness.
• Management of      Change (MoC):
  • Own and lead       or participate in the MoC process for mechanical systems and equipment       modifications.
  • Ensure       compliance with safety, environmental, and operational standards.
  • Collaborate       with operations, maintenance, and engineering teams to assess risks and       impacts.
• Continuous      Improvement:
  • Identify       improvement opportunities, prepare business cases and execute change as       per the FEL process.
  • Utilize field       data collection and analysis to identify failure trends and reliability       opportunities.
  • Develop and       implement strategies to eliminate repeat failures and improve equipment       uptime.
  • Support       reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) and predictive maintenance       programs.
• Project      Management (FEL Process):
  • Lead       mechanical projects from concept through execution using the FEL       methodology.
  • Develop       scopes, budgets, schedules, and risk assessments for capital and       improvement projects.
  • Coordinate       with internal stakeholders and external contractors to ensure successful       project delivery.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):

• RCA      Effectiveness:
  • % of RCAs       completed within target timeframe.
  • % of       corrective actions implemented and verified.
  • Reduction in       repeat failures of critical equipment.
• MoC Compliance:
  • % of MoC       processes completed on time.
  • Number of       MoC-related incidents or deviations.
  • Audit       compliance score for MoC documentation.
• Reliability      & Uptime:
  • Mean Time       Between Failures (MTBF) for key assets.
  • % reduction in       unplanned downtime.
  • % improvement       in equipment availability.
• Project      Execution:
  • % of projects       delivered on time and within budget.
  • FEL stage gate       compliance rate.
  • Stakeholder       satisfaction score (post-project reviews).
• Continuous      Improvement:
  • Number of CI       initiatives implemented annually.
  • Estimated cost       savings or value creation from CI efforts.
  • % of field       data collection targets achieved.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s      degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 5+ years of      experience in heavy industrial environments, preferably in alumina or      similar refining operations.
• Proven      experience in RCA, MoC, and project management.
• Strong      analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Familiarity      with reliability tools (e.g., FMEA, RCM), CMMS systems, and data analysis      software.
• Excellent      communication and leadership skills.
