Responsibilities:
TECHNICAL SCOPE
A. DMAIC / Green Belt (CI Execution)
- Owns the CI pipeline for the area
- Run the DMAIC pipeline: problem statement, baseline, data plan, analysis, control plan.
- Quantify and validate benefits (safety, OAU/OEE, cost) and ensure Control-phase handover to Operations.
- Maintain the Kaizen tracker (idea intake, scoring, status) and report progress in CI governance.
B. Reliability Engineering & Defect Elimination
- Maintain bad‑actor list; conduct RCAs (5‑Why, Ishikawa) and FMEA.
- Propose and validate engineering fixes and PM/PdM changes (intervals, tasks, condition monitoring).
- Trend MTBF/MTTR, critical spares risks, and alarm rationalization with the Unit Owner.
C. Process Safety & Spillage Prevention
- Translate spillage learnings into barrier enhancements, SOP changes, checklists, and training content.
- Support MOC quality: risk assessment, safeguards register, pre‑startup checks, procedure currency.
- Verify in the field (gemba) that controls work in practice; correct promptly when not.
- Ensures learnings are incorporated into training and competency frameworks.
D. Turnaround
- Provide reliability scope inputs (bad actors, inspection/repair strategies, critical spares).
- Review workpacks for technical completeness; ensure lessons feed post‑TA standards.
- After TA, confirm defect elimination and stabilize new settings via control plans and SOPs.
E. Training & Knowledge Management
- Convert project outputs into standard work, SOP revisions, and training modules with the Trainer.
- Run targeted hands‑on coaching on new standards with Day SL and Shift Leaders.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
- Safety/Process Safety: spill frequency & severity; barrier health index; near‑miss closure time.
- Reliability: MTBF ↑, MTTR ↓; preventive/predictive compliance; chronic defects closed per quarter.
- Operations: OEE/availability; alarms per hour (post‑rationalization).
- CI Benefits: verified $ benefits; action closure rate; number of sustained CI projects.
- TA Support: On-time delivery of reliability scope and workpacks; Post‑TA defect recurrence vs previous TA.
Decision Rights & Authority
- Select CI tools and analytical methods; propose design/standard changes subject to MOC approval.
- Prioritize CI backlog with CI Manager; escalate blockers via governance cadence.
- Stop‑work authority for imminent safety risk in line with site policy.
HEALTH, SAFETY, ENVIRONMENT, QUALITY AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
- Detect and address potential risks in HSEQ field
- Involved in emergency plan development, emergency event management and investigation
- Implements improvement programs in accordance with site directions and priorities in HSEQ field
- Stop‑work authority for imminent safety risk in line with site policy.
Requirement:
- Degree in Chemical Engineering from Singapore recognized university or equivalent.
- 3–7 years in continuous process or Refinery, Oil and Petrochemical or chemical manufacturing (operations, maintenance, or process engineering).
- Significant experience in complex continuous chemical processes will be an advantage.
- Certification in Lean Six Sigma Green Belt required within 12 months if not already certified
- Participation in a turnaround lifecycle (planning/execution/post‑TA) is a plus.
- Practical knowledge in chemical engineering.
- Risks management related to hazardous chemical process
- Lean Six Sigma Green Belt (Green Belt desirable) with proven project delivery.
- Demonstrated RCA/FMEA capability
- Knowledge of P&IDs, PFDs, alarms, and continuous process operations.
- Strong data skills (trend analysis, Pareto, control charts; Excel/BI; basic scripting a plus).
