The employee will fulfill dual responsibilities to accomplish regional mechanical integrity (MI) and sustainability activities. About 50% of the time will be split between each initiative, though this amount may change depending on the needs of the business. In order to identify opportunities to improve energy efficiency, promote renewable resources, and reduce the social, environmental, and financial impacts of operations, the sustainability initiatives will support our manufacturing facilities with energy and material consumption monitoring through site audits and sustainability data analyses. The mechanical integrity initiatives will guarantee asset integrity management and will put a special emphasis on an asset's capacity to carry out the task necessary to stop, identify, and/or lessen a significant hazardous event. All regional facilities will be better able to adapt to technological change, increase safety, environmental effect, and dependability, and consequently reduce the cost associated with these benefits, with the support of a continuous program improvement for mechanical integrity and sustainability.

Energy/Sustainability & MI currently supports the entire industrial sector

Energy/Sustainability & M.I. Job Responsibilities

Sustainability:

• Applying engineering principles to analyze energy systems while looking for ways to reduce energy usage and increase energy efficiency.
