The Stationary Equipment Inspector supports the Bayport Polymers Plant in Pasadena, TX, a four-line polypropylene (PP) manufacturing facility with an annual benchmark capacity of approximately 2,000 MMlbs, the largest PP manufacturing site in LyondellBasell. They are the custodian of the work processes that utilize company and industry standards, practices and guidelines to maintain the mechanical integrity of the site’s Stationary Equipment assets.

A Day in the Life

• Manage relevant Stationary Equipment damage mechanism through the identification, execution and documentation of inspections by Equipment type (e.g., vessel, heat exchanger, piping circuit).
• Create and execute individual inspection plans for Stationary Equipment using the Meridium (APM) Inspection Data Management System (IDMS).
• Create inspection recommendations for findings requiring action and track to closure.
• Lead or participate in risk assessments associated with delayed or cancelled Stationary Equipment inspections. Process deferrals for overdue or coming-due inspections and recommendations as necessary.
• Develop and manage work processes in accordance with corporate guidance to mitigate risk from locations that are challenging to inspect for relevant damage mechanisms.
• Manage the site’s corrosion under insulation (CUI), corrosion under fireproofing (CUF), maintenance paint program (MPP) and external stress corrosion cracking (ESCC) work processes.
• Manage the site’s pressure relief device work processes.
• Manage inspection work processes for special equipment including but not limited to: elevated flare, non-metallic tanks, cooling towers, structures, and grating).
• Manage the site’s Stationary Equipment quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) work processes.
• Manage the site’s work processes for the design, installation, monitoring, modification and removal activities associated with temporary repairs.
• Take ownership of the site Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Inspection, both in monthly reporting as well as addressing causes for KPIs below target.
• Direct contract inspection resources for execution of the site asset strategy in accordance with site work processes.
• Assess the risk associated with and document the rationale for any Stationary Equipment not assigned an individual Inspection Plan.
• Provide technical support/expertise within your discipline during the front-end engineering and design (FEED) and execution phases of capital projects to ensure newly-installed and modified assets realize value throughout their life cycle.
• Engage with peers across the company to share and learn about best practices and lessons learned for Mechanical Integrity related topics.
