Key responsibilities include:

• Conduct asset condition assessments and develop practical engineering solutions to improve asset performance and reliability
• Develop scopes of work and technical packages for asset improvement, renewal and modification projects
• Provide mechanical engineering advice and technical support to operational and project delivery teams
• Support tank inspections, integrity assessments and turnaround activities across customer sites
• Identify opportunities for continuous improvement, risk reduction and asset optimisation
