Managing a team of E&I project engineers delivering various capital investment projects in the Oil and Gas industry.Provide technical expertise and support to site project engineers throughout the project life cycle, including basis for design, FEED studies, HAZOP, SIL, equipment specifications, contract management, management of change.Review and formally approve, technical documentation, drawings, equipment procurement, and contract placement.

The role of Control and Power Project Engineer has required me to lead multi discipline teams within various site projects with budgets ranging in value up to £3M. Within this role it is necessary to manage the execution of multiple concurrent small/medium projects throughout various stages of the project lifecycle, in order to achieve this good time management and organisation skills are essential. Within this role I am also called upon to deputise for the senior project engineer and manage unit shutdown maintenance events as necessary.Specific activities undertaken as part of this role include:HAZOP, SIL review and validation, provide technical input into basis for design scopes, writing of project installation and design scopes/contracts, etc. Project execution from basic design package through detailed engineering, planning, cost estimation, equipment specification to Total and national specifications, contract development and award, installation co-ordination and management, commissioning, handover and close out. Report on and track project against agreed plan. Management of safety, including Safety Instrumented System project execution in accordance with BS/EN 61511, contractor audits, safety tool box talks with installation contractors etc.Amongst the projects undertaken to date include, project leader in the installation of a Burner Management System in compliance with IEC61511 and BSEN746 (circa £1.5M phase 1, £3M phase 2), support engineer for the installation of a new container substation and Safety Instrumented System for a £300k environmental project. Involvement in the projects mentioned required me to utilise my knowledge of Total Refining, Local, and European standards associated with equipment specification, Safety Instrument Systems, etc.

As a member of a multi disciplined Engineering group my role in the Methods and Reliability Section was to provide Control and Power expertise to the department. This role involved taking part in HAZOP studies, SIL reviews, Project scope reviews, engineering studies, writing and reviewing engineering procedures in line with statutory requirements and best practice. I was also given the opportunity to deliver training lectures to new and existing refinery personnel on subjects such as ‘Instrumentation Appreciation’, ‘Electrical Awareness’, and ‘ATEX/DSEAR awareness’. Working within this role provided me with a more rounded knowledge of engineering as well as an overview of the activities carried out within other refinery departments.

As part of the LOR control and power maintenance department I was required to maintain the refinery instrument and electrical systems to a high standard, observing comprehensive safety and Q.A. criteria. More specifically I was expected to calibrate, repair, configure, install and commission all aspects within the area of control and power, from various measuring and control elements, to the supervisory control systems employed at LOR. In addition to the practical aspects of the role my responsibilities also included the planning of work using the Refinery's integrated CMMS systems, effective communication with various departments at various levels, and low level system design. During periods of absence (or secondments) I was also called upon to assume the role as stand-in Control and Power Area Maintenance Engineer, which included one continuous spell of 6 months. The role of stand in Area Maintenance Engineer entailed attending operational meetings in order to discuss and prioritise work loads, co-ordinating between different departments, ensuring that the correct labour and materials are available for the daily work requirements, and carrying out risk assessments, etc. In more general terms I was also heavily involved with the development of new team members by offering both technical support as well as my experience.

The roles and responsibilities that I undertook within this appointment are similar to the roles specified within the Lead Control and Power Technician job description. The differences being that during my time as a technician I was not required to stand in as supervisor or planner.
