This position supports the Bayport Polymers Plant in Pasadena, TX. Working in a multi-disciplinary, cross-functional environment, it carries responsibility for implementing and continuously improving the asset maintenance strategy. The position interacts with other technical groups on site (e.g., Process Engineering, Maintenance, Operations and Capital Projects), Lyondell Basell Technical Networks, suppliers and original equipment manufacturers (OEM) as-needed to improve asset availability and life cycle cost performance.

• Systematically develop, monitor and continuously improve an asset maintenance strategy that ensures the asset will function as required and realize value throughout its life cycle. Task types include:
  • Predictive Maintenance or PdM (e.g., vibration analysis, oil analysis, pressure-volume analysis)
  • Preventive Maintenance or PM (e.g., scheduled overhauls)
  • Failure-finding (e.g., proof-testing of Machinery protection systems)
  • Corrective Maintenance (e.g., replacement work instructions, repair plans)
• Ensure spare parts are held in sufficient quantity to appropriately manage asset unavailability risk.
• Lead or participate in incident investigations and root cause analyses (RCA).
• Leverage learning from experience to continuously improve the asset maintenance strategy and Lyondell Basell’s broader asset management systems.
• Participate in multi-disciplinary asset performance improvement teams.
• Apply data analysis techniques to develop engineering solutions to repetitive failures and other problems that adversely affect process safety, personnel safety, environmental, regulatory, operational and quality performance.
• Apply value analysis (e.g., life cycle cost analysis) to repair/replace, repair/redesign and make/buy decisions.
• Provide technical support/expertise within your discipline during the front-end engineering and design (FEED) and execution phases of capital projects to ensure newly-installed and modified assets realize value throughout their life cycle.
• Collaborate with peers at the site and across Lyondell Basell.

• Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Mechanical Engineering and a minimum of 5 years relevant, proven experience in the refining, petrochemical, chemical process, or power generation industries
• Experience with extrusion equipment (e.g., extruders, pelletizers) is preferred, but is not required.
• Strong interpersonal leadership skills are critical due to the requirement for effective communication of complex issues across the organization as well as for mentoring and consensus building.
• Exhibit an understanding of business drivers, management of change requirements, reliability processes and maintenance workflow.
• Proven, basic proficiency in the following areas:
  • Industry codes and standards (e.g., API, ASME, ANSI)
  • Stationary Equipment (heat exchangers, pressure vessels, piping, flange make-up)
  • Industry codes and standards (e.g., API, ASME, ANSI)
  • Machinery (e.g., pumps, steam turbines, centrifugal and reciprocating compressors, blowers, gearboxes, extruders, pelletizers)
  • Predictive and preventive maintenance (PdM and PM) practices commonly applied to Machinery and Stationary Equipment
