  • Conduct routine maintenance on utility systems, including HVAC, compressed air systems, and water treatment pumps.

Troubleshooting, Diagnostics & Reliability:

  • Respond rapidly to mechanical breakdowns, utilizing Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and advanced diagnostic tools (e.g., vibration monitoring, thermography, oil analysis) to identify faults and implement permanent fixes.
  • Collaborate with the Reliability and Engineering teams to optimize equipment performance, recommend design modifications, and reduce mean time between failures (MTBF).
  • Monitor equipment condition and analyze trend data to predict failures before they occur, supporting the plant's predictive maintenance strategy.

HSE, Compliance & Work Management:

  • Strictly adhere to the company's Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) policies, ensuring zero harm to self, team, and the environment.
  • Actively participate in Job Safety Analysis (JSA), Risk Assessments, and Toolbox Talks prior to commencing any maintenance task.
  • Strictly enforce the Permit to Work (PTW) and Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO) systems, ensuring proper mechanical isolation and energy dissipation before work begins.
  • Utilize the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS- e.g., SAP PM, Maximo) to receive work orders, update job progress, log material usage, and document technical findings.

Requirements & Qualifications

  • Higher National Diploma (HND) or bachelor's degree (B.Sc./B.Eng.) in Mechanical Engineering, or a recognized National Trade Certificate (NTC/NVQ) in Mechanical Fitting/Machining.
  • A minimum of 5 years of hands-on mechanical maintenance experience within the Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Refining, or heavy industrial sector.
  • Proven expertise in the overhaul, alignment, and troubleshooting of centrifugal pumps, compressors, and heat exchangers.
  • Strong understanding of API standards (e.g., API 610 for pumps, API 617 for compressors, API 686 for machinery installation).
  • Proficiency in reading and interpreting mechanical drawings, P&IDs, and OEM maintenance manuals.
  • Software Skills: Hands-on experience using CMMS (SAP Plant Maintenance, IBM Maximo, or similar) for work order management and inventory tracking.
  • Certifications: Valid HSE Level 1, 2, & 3 certifications. (BOSIET/HUET and Offshore Medicals are a strong advantage if site rotations are required).
  • Soft Skills: Strong analytical problem-solving skills, ability to work under pressure in a fast-paced production environment, and excellent cross-functional communication.

What We Offer

  • A highly competitive remuneration package commensurate with Oil & Gas industry standards.
  • Free transportation (To & Fro), Meals (Breakfast & Lunch), Accommodation, HMO, Life insurance etc.
  • Opportunity to work with a leading Oil & Gas production company, managing world-class assets.
  • Comprehensive HSE training, continuous technical development, and OEM certification opportunities.
