About the job
 

The Mechanical Integrity Engineer (MI) is responsible for ensuring the mechanical integrity, reliability, and availability of fixed assets across a specialty chemical manufacturing site. This role drives compliance with Process Safety Management (PSM), implements risk-based inspection (RBI) programs, leads failure elimination initiatives, and develops asset strategies that improve safety, quality, and total cost of ownership. The ideal candidate blends strong technical judgment with frontline engagement, data-driven decision-making, and disciplined execution.

• Lead root cause failure analyses (RCFA) for equipment failures and implement corrective and preventive actions to eliminate recurring issues
• Evaluate inspection data and fitness-for-service assessments to determine equipment integrity, remaining life, and required interventions
• Manage the Management of Change (MOC) process for mechanical system modifications and provide technical support during plant turnarounds and shutdowns
• Track and report key performance indicators (KPIs) such as equipment reliability, inspection compliance, and failure rates

We believe you bring

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline (Materials, Reliability, or Chemical Engineering with an MI focus)
• Extensive experience in manufacturing environments (5–10 years), with deep knowledge of PSM and mechanical integrity programs
• Proven expertise in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 compliance, RAGAGEP, and API industry standards
• Proficiency in root cause failure analysis methodologies (RCFA) and fitness-for-service assessments
  
  

Great if you have
