Overview:

The Mechanical Integrity Engineer is responsible for managing and executing the mechanical integrity and inspection programs for applicable equipment at the Charles City site. This role focuses on ensuring the integrity, reliability, and regulatory compliance of pressure vessels, piping systems, and storage tanks through the implementation of OSHA Mechanical Integrity inspection standards.

The Mechanical Integrity Engineer will support and oversee activities in accordance with Code of Federal Regulations Title 29 Subtitle B, Chapter XVII, Part 1910, Section 119, Subpart H, 1910.119, Clause j, that will serve to prevent or minimize the consequences of catastrophic releases of toxic, reactive, flammable, or explosive chemicals. These releases may result in toxic, fire or explosion hazards.

This role will work closely with operations, maintenance, and inspection personnel to monitor equipment condition, evaluate damage mechanisms, and implement corrective actions that support safe and reliable plant operation.

The ideal candidate will bring strong knowledge of equipment inspection, corrosion management, and industry codes, along with the ability to analyze inspection data and drive improvements in asset integrity and reliability.

Responsibilities:

• Develop, implement, and maintain the mechanical integrity program to ensure the safety and reliability of equipment such as pressure vessels, pipelines, storage tanks, and heat exchangers.
• Plan, coordinate, and oversee inspections of critical equipment, including non-destructive testing (NDT), visual inspections, pressure tests, and thickness gauging.
• Ensure compliance with inspection schedules and regulatory requirements in alignment with industry codes (e.g., OSHA, ASME, API).
• Review and analyze inspection data to identify trends, anomalies, and areas of concern.
• Evaluate and manage corrosion rates, wear, material degradation, and life expectancy of equipment.

• Develop reports on mechanical system performance, risks, and integrity management activities for internal use and external stakeholders.
• Analyze data to drive improvements in asset integrity and performance.
• Work closely with engineers, maintenance and operations teams, reliability experts, and management to ensure proper integration of mechanical integrity efforts within overall operations.
• Provide technical guidance and training to operations and maintenance personnel on mechanical integrity standards, processes, and best practices.
• Actively participate in incident investigations related to mechanical equipment and provide engineering input to improve safety systems.
• Facilitate failure analysis investigations to determine root causes and recommend corrective or preventive actions.
• Track advancements in mechanical integrity practices, standards, and technologies, and recommend updates to programs and methods accordingly.
• Identify opportunities for cost savings and process optimization without compromising safety or compliance.
• Improve asset reliability and availability by implementing advanced engineering solutions such as condition monitoring and predictive maintenance techniques.
• Other duties as assigned.
