Job description

The new SEAM organization integrates Safety, Environment Asset Management activities, with a broad geographical footprint, that will support Shell s business assets around the world.

 

The vision of SEAM is to provide capability across the spectrum of Safety, Environment and Asset Management with:

 

shaping the future ways of working through introducing to the business new technology and news way of working, including e.g., digital, SBO, and real-time, data-driven, end-to-end optimization and risk management, but also global programmes like Human Performance Based Safety Philosophy.

providing performance feedback driving disciplined execution to deliver reliable, predictable results

helping the businesses build their improvement plans and provide support to execute them

sustaining performance through strong core capabilities (internal, including SBO contingent) through building expertise and a company-wide consistent approach

The VP TAO will be accountable for maximizing integrated business value across the organization. Technical Asset Operations (TAO) is a key enabler for the accelerated delivery of Shell s Asset Management System and will help us to reach our ultimate potential in Downstream Manufacturing, Integrated Gas and Upstream. TAO provides high quality and cost-competitive technical resources who are not physically present at site yet are an integral part of asset teams delivering value through end-to-end AMS work processes.

 

The role of Sr. Process Data Engineer in Turnaround Planning is to actively contribute to the development of work packages and execution plans for all disciplines, including project and operational activities which are integrated into a single multi-disciplinary schedule. The overall aim is to maximize the re-use of proven work-packs for recurring or similar activities, and in doing so avoid unnecessary re-work for each event, introducing waste and loss of corporate memory.

 

The purpose of the Turnaround planning activities is to identify the steps and resources necessary for the safe and efficient execution of maintenance activities according to defined quality standards. A Work Package defines in detail the activities to complete a task, relationships between tasks, identifies all information, materials and services for efficient execution and scheduling for UPS/IS/DSM assets of Shell.

 

Effective T/A planning offers the reward of a safe, high quality, predictable, repeatable, and effective execution of an Event which will in turn lead to cost competitiveness.
