PURPOSE AND SCOPE
Responsible for performance expertise and operational excellence in Energy & Utilities assets (Power plant, Utilities plant and water treatment plants etc.) operation to ensure good plant availability, reliability and optimization.
KEY ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Conducting Reliability Analysis: Perform data analysis, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), and root cause analysis to identify potential failures, their impact, and underlying causes.
- Developing Maintenance Strategies: Collaborate with maintenance teams to develop and implement preventive maintenance plans, condition-based monitoring programs, and reliability-cantered maintenance (RCM) strategies.
- Implementing Asset Performance Metrics: Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as mean time between failures (MTBF), mean time to repair (MTTR), and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) to assess asset reliability and measure improvements.
- Carry out plant performance monitoring, troubleshooting and optimization for Energy & Utilities assets (Power plant, Utilities plant, water treatment etc) to ensure plant availability, reliability, efficiency and environmental compliance.
- Quarterly performance test for power plant, including data analysis and assessment of the plant efficiency, deep dive to identify the performance gap and root causes analysis, recommendation of the actions to rectify the identified issues, and post review.
- Monitor the plant water chemistry, identify the gaps and recommend the actions for process adjustment
- Perform mass balance analysis of all the processes to identify/rectify issues and minimize uncounted losses.
- Maintain and progressive improvement of the mass balance monitoring system.
- Track GHG emission and drive toward emission reduction.
- Initiate and drive the optimization initiatives of the operating assets to achieve reliability improvement, cost optimization and GHG emission reduction.
- Develop, implement and progressive improvement of the performance monitoring tools to enhance the work efficiency through automation and digitalization.
- Develop, update and implement plant performance related SOPs and workflows.
- Provide technical support related to plant performance to Power and utilities projects under development.
- Keep track on the development and implementation of new technologies in power and utilities industries and explore the feasibility of implementing such in the Company’s assets and new projects to improve reliability, efficiency, and sustainability, such as hydrogen blending, ammonia, battery storage, and carbon capture etc.
- Supervises and oversees performance and reliability personnel skill improvement, training, and safety programs.
MAJOR CHALLENGES TO OVERCOME
- Change Management: Overcoming resistance to change and driving a culture of proactive asset management
- Data Quality and Availability: Dealing with data challenges, such as inconsistent or incomplete data, and establishing robust data collection processes.
- Resource Allocation: Balancing maintenance resources and budgets to optimize reliability improvements while considering competing priorities.
- Technical Complexity: Managing the complexity of diverse assets and their unique failure modes, requiring deep technical knowledge and expertise
