• The role is expected to also drive capability growth within the more junior members of the team, acting as a technical & cultural role model, solving for the systemic management of integrity at all times, Consistency to the bp Operating Management System (OMS) & safety principles to build a purposeful, winning, & caring culture.
• Responsible for the whole RBI life cycle by creating quality inspection scopes, coordinating with the execution team their quality and timely execution, reviewing inspection results in perspective of system historical data, anomaly identification, risk calibration and management, proactive corrosion control matrices analysis in coordination with the relevant teams, deter resolvebility and consequence of failure and updating inspection strategies and plans as needed (RBI ever-greening).
• Developing & implementing Integrity Management programs including inspection processes, fit for purpose assessments, risk-based assessments (RBA/IB), inspection & monitoring programs. Stewardship of extraordinary & standard implementation of the defined Integrity Management workflows across all regions.
• Perform & guide PSIEs in Fitness-for-Service, Remaining Life Assessment, Risk Assessment, & other key engineering calculations in support of IM workflows.
• Develop Equipment Strategies & prepare statements of inspection requirements (SOIR) which align with RBI outputs & IM performance standards.
• Coordinates with maintenance planning team & help prioritize inspection execution. Ever-greening the RBI in collaboration with Corrosion, Chemistry & Process Team.
• Ensure that the Anomaly Management Process for the assigned region is driven in an efficient & timely manner.
• Provide guidance related to risk assessment, mitigation & prioritization, life extension, repair plan development, & deferral management.
• Provide guidance to the Deferral Management Workflow as it relates to PSI related activities including inspection execution, fabric maintenance & anomaly management.
• Provide authority guidance & support to the Fabric Maintenance process including outside corrosion assessment & mitigation, work scope development, resource planning & prioritization.
• Support the implementation of Region's & TSI’s IM Self Verification processes.
• Champion a practice of data driven decisions, & efficiency on the use of data: Data analytics, digital tools/ technologies & operationalize upgraded work practices through digital transformation.
