• Develop and implement reliability driven maintenance strategies while analysing asset performance data to identify and mitigate recurring low-impact failures, improving overall reliability
• Drive digital maintenance adoption through CMMS optimization and enable data-driven decision-making to enhance efficiency and reliability.
• Conduct risk-based criticality assessment and SCE identification to ensure asset integrity & safety.
• Identify opportunities to improve system reliability and minimize downtime through proactive and optimized maintenance strategies
• Collaborate with reliability engineers and consultants to support and enhance value-added preventive maintenance (PM) activities
• Identify and manage critical spares, maintain an updated critical spares register, and ensure optimal inventory levels are maintained across locations to support asset reliability and minimize downtime
• Provide expert guidance on FMECA and PM optimization, ensuring alignment with industry best practices.
• Optimize asset reliability by improving MTBF and MTTR for critical equipment while leveraging Asset Criticality Analysis to prioritize maintenance efforts.
• Demonstrate strong expertise in reliability studies for critical assets, driving maintenance program optimization for both onshore and offshore equipment to enhance performance and asset integrity
• Provide technical guidance and support to client production teams, maintenance management, and site personnel to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable operations.
• Collaborate with the project management team to support planning and scheduling.

We are known for our extraordinary people who make the impossible possible every day. Questians are driven by hunger, humility, and aspiration. We believe that our company culture is the key to our ability to make a true difference in every industry we reach. Our teams regularly invest time and dedicated effort into internal culture work, ensuring that all voices are heard.

We wholeheartedly believe in the diversity of thought that comes with fostering a culture rooted in respect, where everyone belongs, is valued, and feels inspired to share their ideas. We know embracing our unique differences makes us better, and that solving the worlds hardest engineering problems requires diverse ideas, perspectives, and backgrounds. We shine the brightest when we tap into the many dimensions that thrive across over 21,000 difference-makers in our workplace.
