- Setting up and developing reliability structures and strategies for process units;
- Ensuring that reliability and availability targets are achieved by monitoring equipment reliability and investigating / solving failures using RCA (root cause analysis);
- Leading incident studies (process related) using structured methods such as Apollo Root Cause Analysis;
- Carrying out performance analysis to define timely actions to prevent equipment malfunction and to achieve improvement projects.;
- Providing support in the preparation, optimisation and follow-up of proactive maintenance programmes;
