Reliability Engineer

Sterling Engineering

We are seeking a hands-on Maintenance Engineer to provide day-to-day engineering support for refinery maintenance and operational needs. This contractor will support fixed equipment maintenance activities, working closely with maintenance teams to address engineering needs and ensure safe, reliable operations.

This role will allow the existing engineering team to focus on a major planned turnaround project in 2028.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide day-to-day engineering support for refinery maintenance and operational needs.
  • Support assigned process units with fixed equipment engineering requirements.
  • Perform hands-on engineering work related to piping, storage tanks, and other fixed equipment.
  • Assist with maintenance planning, troubleshooting, design reviews, and field engineering support.
  • Conduct field inspections and quality checks as needed.
  • Collaborate with maintenance personnel and other engineering disciplines to resolve equipment issues.
  • Manage multiple assignments in a fast-paced environment while prioritizing competing demands.
  • Provide engineering documentation and technical support as required.

Required Qualifications

  • Experience in day-to-day maintenance engineering, preferably within a refinery or industrial facility.
  • Strong knowledge of piping systems and storage tanks.
  • Experience with fixed equipment engineering and field support.
  • Familiarity with PV Elite and CAESAR II.
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications.
  • Strong organizational, time-management, and multitasking skills.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in an operational environment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with P31-1 standards or related engineering requirements.
  • Familiarity with PDF editing tools.
  • Experience with SAP or similar maintenance management systems.
  • Previous refinery or industrial turnaround experience.

Work Environment

This position is based at a refinery, with an approximate split of 80% office work and 20% field activities. The role requires regular interaction with maintenance teams and hands-on engineering support in the field.

Overtime: Limited, with occasional additional hours as business needs require.
