Facilities Engineer

Airswift has been tasked by one of our major Oil and Gas clients to seek a Facilities Engineer to work on an initial 12-month contract in North Slope, AK – on a 14/14 rotational schedule!

Responsibilities:
1. Capital Projects Organization Requirements:

• Complete formal mechanical completions walk down for a designated system or sub system.
• Responsible for signing off on systems and ensuring the system, sub-system is mechanically complete.
• Responsible for signing the release for commissioning and ensuring the system or sub-system is ready for commissioning.
• Responsible for signing the Release for Startup by ensuring the system or subsystem is ready for operations.
• Work with Projects and Operations on system turnover. Specifically, work with the designated CPO Coordinator & FCO Supervisor to ensure proper sign offs are provided by O&M personnel in the Project Completion System.
• Provide to the Construction Supervisor any forms that CPO/Operations need the installation contractor to complete. Examples are Rotating Equipment checklists and Vessel Closure forms. 

• Create and manage the MOCs for all phases of operation - identify phases, create MOCs, and assign all tasks.
• Develop or refine Operating Procedures with the Project Operator including Commissioning and Startup procedures. Operating procedures may initially be developed by a PSM (process safety management) technical writer. Consult the Process Engineer, Pipeline Operator/Pipeline Coordinator (if applicable) and Facility Engineer as needed. The commissioning procedures shall include:
• Inerting/Purging
• Hydrocarbon/Process Commissioning
• Pressure Up – Ramp Up Procedure/Sequence of Events
• PHA of the non-continuous operating procedures (e.g. initial commissioning, pigging, etc.)
• Additional procedures as required by the project scope.
• Audit the PHAs and PPRs to ensure all issues are adequately addressed before equipment startup. Evaluate field changes to determine if they affect the PHA (changes are tracked by PCR, RFI, ECAR). Consider PHA/PSA for the step-bystep operating procedures.
• Automation Screens - Ensure that Automation has sufficient information to develop the IP21 screens and keep them informed of the schedule so they know when FCO will be taking place. Ensure that operator adjustable set-points are verified with the Board Operators and the Automation Engineers.
• All Process Safety Info - Startup Engineer should have an updated master set of Redlined P&IDs.
• Ensure Operators/ Craft Techs have required training for the new facility prior to startup. Ensure adequate training documents are prepared in addition to facilitating any required training sessions prior to start-up.
• Preventative Maintenance (PM’s)- Startup Engineer accountable, not directly responsible - ‘Who-to-do’ shall be determined and agreed upon with Operations prior to beginning of assignment as Startup Engineer. SIF’s have very specific PM requirements from ISA.
• Register any new chemicals onsite by completing the New Chemical Evaluation process with NSK Industrial Hygiene. This includes SDS submission.
• PSSR
• Verify system controller and alarm set points prior to startup.
• Prepare and maintain the PSSR or equivalent.
• Monitor documentation flow to ensure timely completion and turnover.
• Review P&ID redlines before the information is transferred to the final asbuilt drawing. The Start-Up Engineer should review the mark-ups for functionality and operability from a process point of view and for any impacts to critical safety devices and philosophies.
• Review vendor data to the extent possible and ensure it is uploaded against the correct functional locations.
• Product Structure Development in SAP - Master Equipment List - Review all RSPLs from the vendors and facilitate stocking levels and product structure development. ‘Who-to-do’ Product Structure development to be determined and agreed upon with Operations prior to beginning of assignment as Startup Engineer.
• Follow all punchlist/incomplete work items to completion until new facility is operating as desired by Operations.
• Communicate any open punchlist items to the Site or Remote Facility Engineer prior to leaving the Start Up Engineer position.

• Regularly interface with the Facility Engineers and/or Operations Supervision as requested by Operations. Keep the Facility Engineers up to date on all issues which affect process, the HAZOP, or require significant engineering changes. Report metrics to the Operations Team as requested by Operations/Facility Engineering Supervision

• Must Have 2+ years of oil and gas industry experience including gas/oil production, gathering, separation & processing, chemical processing, refining, or related experience.
• Ability to prioritize and execute multiple assignments in a changing environment.
• Bachelor's Degree or Higher in Engineering or Foreign Equivalent.
• Basic knowledge of Facility Engineering fundamentals including a working knowledge of Process Safety Management (PSM) and Management of Change (MOC).
• Basic knowledge of Industry Codes, Standards and Recommended Practices.
• Current/valid driver's license.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills.
• Meeting Facilitation Skills - Able to focus a diverse team on a common direction and effective at conflict resolution.
• Strong team leadership skills - Must be able to foster working relationships within numerous levels of the organization and other departments.
