VURIN Ltd. – Where Significance Meets Opportunity!
VURIN Ltd. is a dynamic and forward-thinking organisation operating in the oil and gas sector, committed to
delivering significant value through technical excellence, disciplined execution and strong business partnerships.
Recognised as a Great Place to Work, we foster a culture built around empowerment, collaboration and
excellence.
The Role
The Reliability/Integrity Engineer will be responsible for diagnosing failure modes, improving equipment
reliability and converting inspection, condition-monitoring and integrity data into practical maintenance and
client recommendations.
The role will assess asset condition, degradation mechanisms and associated risks, lead or support root-cause
analysis, expand appropriate predictive-maintenance practices and produce technically sound reliability and
integrity reports. The role will also ensure that changes to design, maintenance, inspection or operating
requirements are appropriately assessed, verified and documented
What You’ll Do
Reliability & Integrity Analysis
• Assess asset condition, failure modes, degradation mechanisms and integrity risks using available
technical data.
• Analyse inspection, condition-monitoring and equipment data to identify reliability and integrity
concerns.
• Diagnose recurring or significant equipment failures and determine appropriate technical actions.
• Prioritise reliability and integrity concerns based on evidence, risk and potential consequence.
• Develop practical maintenance and client recommendations from reliability and integrity findings.
Root-Cause Analysis & Corrective Action
• Lead or support disciplined Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for priority equipment failures and reliability
issues.
• Identify underlying causes and contributing factors associated with repeat failures.
• Translate RCA findings into clear corrective and preventive actions with defined owners and
timelines.
• Monitor agreed actions through to closure.
• Verify the effectiveness of completed corrective and preventive actions.
Predictive Maintenance & Condition Monitoring
• Identify appropriate applications for condition monitoring and predictive-maintenance techniques.
• Monitor asset condition and trends to identify developing reliability or integrity concerns.
• Establish appropriate response requirements for relevant alerts and identified conditions.
• Review the quality, completeness and usability of condition-monitoring data.
• Convert condition-monitoring findings into practical maintenance and operational recommendations.
Technical Reporting & Change Management
• Produce clear technical reports covering reliability, integrity, condition assessment and failure analysis.
• Ensure reports are supported by appropriate technical data, calculations, assumptions and review.
• Assess the technical implications of changes to design, maintenance, inspection or operating
requirements.
• Ensure applicable Management of Change (MOC) and independent-verification requirements are
followed.
• Maintain traceable records of technical recommendations, MOC activities and verification evidence.
Risk, Technical Assurance & Client Support
• Identify data gaps, uncertainty and integrity risks that could affect technical conclusions or decisions.
• Participate in technical assurance and review activities and escalate issues requiring specialist or
management decisions.
• Provide timely technical responses and recommendations to Operations, Maintenance and clients.
• Communicate technical findings, limitations, risks and recommendations clearly to relevant
stakeholders.
• Coach field teams and contribute to reliability lessons learned, competence development and
continuous improvement
Requirements
Education
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering or another
relevant Engineering discipline.
• Professional certification in Reliability Engineering, Asset Integrity, Maintenance Engineering or
Condition Monitoring is an advantage.
• Relevant technical training in Root Cause Analysis, Predictive Maintenance, Failure Analysis,
Management of Change or Risk-Based Inspection.
Experience
• Minimum 5–8 years’ relevant experience in reliability engineering, asset integrity, maintenance
engineering, inspection or a closely related technical function.
• Experience within Oil & Gas, Energy, Industrial or other asset-intensive environments, particularly
involving rotating and/or static equipment.
• Demonstrated experience in failure-mode analysis, Root Cause Analysis, degradation assessment and
reliability improvement.
• Experience using condition-monitoring and predictive-maintenance techniques and interpreting
equipment condition and trend data.
• Experience in risk-based prioritisation, recommending inspection, monitoring, repair, replacement or
escalation based on equipment condition and consequence.
• Experience preparing technical reports, reliability assessments and maintenance recommendations for
management, operations and/or clients.
