Job Description

Relief Engineer

Location:  El Segundo, CA
Pay:  Up to $75/hr W2
Duration:  12+ Month Contract

Relief Engineering supports day-to-day routine PRD maintenance, support operations (ARPs), Mitigation projects support, Relief analysis to identify bottlenecks and help optimize throughput.

Job Responsibilities:

• The base function of Relief Engineer is to support day-to-day routine PRD maintenance.
• Day-to-day engineering support for routine PRD maintenance is a significant part of relief engineering.
• The work scope includes supporting routine maintenance with coordinating PRDs servicing to meet required service interval due dates and updating databases accordingly.
• Troubleshooting and Identifying issues such as improper PRD design parameters, resizing PRDs, coordinating long lead-time parts to ensure the business unit stays compliant.
• Support Operations to minimize downtime by providing Alternative Relief Plan (ARP) and Relief analysis such as Relief/flare investigations.
• Coordination between Operations and PRD coordinators to support PRD service OTR repairs or PRD swaps.
• Mitigation Project support involves identifying, categorizing, and finding mitigation solutions in the appropriate time allowed by MFG-600. Often this requires working with 3rd party Engineering Procurement Companies (EPC) and PRD venders.
• Determination of selected mitigation options requires Operations coordination and approval. Piping and instrumentation must also be involved to ensure piping design and instrumentation availability meet best practice and API code.
• Relief Engineering also analyses existing Relief limit for operating Units. The goal is to identify bottlenecks such as equipment limitations and relief deficiencies. Conduct analysis to determine feasibility of rate increase via Test Runs and support detailed engineering effort to permanently change unit throughput.

• Relief Engineering Background is required, PRD sizing, Hydraulic calculations, Simulation, analytical and problem-solving ability.
