Role: Reliability/Integrity Engineer

Location: Port Harcourt

VURIN Ltd. – Where Significance Meets Opportunity!

VURIN Ltd. is a dynamic and forward-thinking organisation operating in the oil and gas sector, committed to

delivering significant value through technical excellence, disciplined execution and strong business partnerships.

Recognised as a Great Place to Work, we foster a culture built around empowerment, collaboration and

excellence.

The Role

The Reliability/Integrity Engineer will be responsible for diagnosing failure modes, improving equipment

reliability and converting inspection, condition-monitoring and integrity data into practical maintenance and

client recommendations.

The role will assess asset condition, degradation mechanisms and associated risks, lead or support root-cause

analysis, expand appropriate predictive-maintenance practices and produce technically sound reliability and

integrity reports. The role will also ensure that changes to design, maintenance, inspection or operating

requirements are appropriately assessed, verified and documented

What You’ll Do

Reliability & Integrity Analysis

• Assess asset condition, failure modes, degradation mechanisms and integrity risks using available

technical data.

• Analyse inspection, condition-monitoring and equipment data to identify reliability and integrity

concerns.

• Diagnose recurring or significant equipment failures and determine appropriate technical actions.
• Prioritise reliability and integrity concerns based on evidence, risk and potential consequence.
• Develop practical maintenance and client recommendations from reliability and integrity findings.

Root-Cause Analysis & Corrective Action

• Lead or support disciplined Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for priority equipment failures and reliability

issues.

• Identify underlying causes and contributing factors associated with repeat failures.
• Translate RCA findings into clear corrective and preventive actions with defined owners and

timelines.

• Monitor agreed actions through to closure.
• Verify the effectiveness of completed corrective and preventive actions.

Predictive Maintenance & Condition Monitoring

• Identify appropriate applications for condition monitoring and predictive-maintenance techniques.
• Monitor asset condition and trends to identify developing reliability or integrity concerns.
• Establish appropriate response requirements for relevant alerts and identified conditions.
• Review the quality, completeness and usability of condition-monitoring data.
• Convert condition-monitoring findings into practical maintenance and operational recommendations.

Technical Reporting & Change Management

• Produce clear technical reports covering reliability, integrity, condition assessment and failure analysis.
• Ensure reports are supported by appropriate technical data, calculations, assumptions and review.
• Assess the technical implications of changes to design, maintenance, inspection or operating

requirements.

• Ensure applicable Management of Change (MOC) and independent-verification requirements are

followed.

• Maintain traceable records of technical recommendations, MOC activities and verification evidence.

Risk, Technical Assurance & Client Support

• Identify data gaps, uncertainty and integrity risks that could affect technical conclusions or decisions.
• Participate in technical assurance and review activities and escalate issues requiring specialist or

management decisions.

• Provide timely technical responses and recommendations to Operations, Maintenance and clients.
• Communicate technical findings, limitations, risks and recommendations clearly to relevant

stakeholders.

• Coach field teams and contribute to reliability lessons learned, competence development and

continuous improvement

Requirements

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering or another

relevant Engineering discipline.

• Professional certification in Reliability Engineering, Asset Integrity, Maintenance Engineering or

Condition Monitoring is an advantage.

• Relevant technical training in Root Cause Analysis, Predictive Maintenance, Failure Analysis,

Management of Change or Risk-Based Inspection.

Experience

• Minimum 5–8 years’ relevant experience in reliability engineering, asset integrity, maintenance

engineering, inspection or a closely related technical function.

• Experience within Oil & Gas, Energy, Industrial or other asset-intensive environments, particularly

involving rotating and/or static equipment.

• Demonstrated experience in failure-mode analysis, Root Cause Analysis, degradation assessment and

reliability improvement.

• Experience using condition-monitoring and predictive-maintenance techniques and interpreting

equipment condition and trend data.

• Experience in risk-based prioritisation, recommending inspection, monitoring, repair, replacement or

escalation based on equipment condition and consequence.

• Experience preparing technical reports, reliability assessments and maintenance recommendations for

management, operations and/or clients.
