Manage integrity data evaluation and ultrasonic wall-thickness monitoring for 150+ high-pressure mechanical assets, steam systems, and gas circuits to verify strict compliance with ASME Section VIII and ASME B31.3. Led RCFA investigations on recurring piping and static utility failures using 5-Why and failure trend analysis, implementing corrective modifications that reduced repeat asset defects by 15%. Optimize preventive maintenance schedules and asset reliability strategies within the CMMS, contributing directly to an 18% reduction in unscheduled facility downtime. Apply FMEA principles during maintenance reviews of aging static equipment to identify latent failure modes, analyze historical inspection records, and deliver actionable remaining-life lifecycle projections.

Coordinated mechanical integrity activities during a high-stakes gas processing plant turnaround, managing field logistics, safety execution, and NDT compliance for 12 technicians and third-party contractors. Executed 85+ critical static equipment inspections (including pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and piping circuits) during planned shutdowns, eliminating post-turnaround startup delays through rapid return-to-service sign-offs. Managed baseline thickness tracking and data collection supporting Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) deployment across 200+ high-consequence gas assets, optimizing long-term inspection prioritization. Maintained the facility corrosion monitoring database and analyzed localized wall-thickness degradation trends, which successfully drove a 22% reduction in localized, unpredicted equipment failures.

Spearheaded reliability improvement initiatives for steam systems, industrial boilers, and pressure-retaining infrastructure by monitoring key asset availability metrics, MTBF, and MTTR. Implemented structured wall-thickness monitoring programs and NDT inspection schedules that successfully cleared statutory safety compliance audits and third-party regulatory checks. Contributed to annual shutdown critical-path planning, managed equipment history logging inside the CMMS, and established asset reliability baselines to transition maintenance from a reactive to a predictive model.

Reviewed P&IDs, isometric drawings, and complex piping layouts to ensure rigorous engineering design compliance with ASME B31.3 process piping codes. Assisted senior engineering teams in executing design verification, identifying routing conflicts, and coordinating structural modifications to prevent field errors during project execution.
