• Coordinate maintenance around outages, completions activity, facility startups, and operational priorities.

Preventative Maintenance and Calibration

• Establish, maintain, and continuously improve the ICE preventative maintenance program.
• Ensure routine instrumentation calibrations are completed at required frequencies.
• Maintain PM and calibration requirements for critical production and water facility equipment.
• Monitor PM compliance and correct overdue or ineffective maintenance activities.
• Use equipment history and failure trends to improve maintenance strategies.

Safety Systems

• Oversee inspection, testing, calibration, and maintenance of facility safety and shutdown systems.
• Ensure transmitters, switches, alarms, trips, interlocks, and emergency shutdown devices are maintained and tested.
• Coordinate safety system testing with Operations, PCC, SCADA, and other affected groups.
• Ensure deficiencies in critical protective systems are corrected promptly.

Production and Water Facility Support

• Oversee ICE maintenance for production gas and water facilities.
• Support instrumentation, electrical, controls, communications, measurement, pumps, tanks, and associated field equipment.
• Coordinate with Water, Completions, Internal Gas Measurement, SCADA, and Operations.
• Support facility commissioning, startup, shutdown, outage, reactivation, and transition into long-term operations.

Electrical Safety and NFPA 70E

• Oversee ICE electrical maintenance activities up to and including 480 VAC within the approved scope of the department.
• Ensure technicians are trained, qualified, and authorized for the electrical work they perform.
• Ensure ICE technicians maintain required NFPA 70E training and qualifications.
• Coordinate initial and refresher electrical safety training as required.
• Reinforce safe electrical work practices, including lockout/tagout, absence-of-voltage verification, proper PPE, approach boundaries, and arc-flash requirements.
• Maintain awareness of technician qualifications and ensure personnel work within their authorized level of training.

Equipment Lifecycle Management

• Maintain ICE equipment standards throughout the lifecycle of production and water facilities.
• Ensure equipment is properly documented in Maximo with asset records, specifications, PM requirements, calibration frequencies, and maintenance history.
• Identify obsolete, unreliable, or unsupported equipment and coordinate replacement.
• Provide maintenance input during equipment selection, construction, commissioning, and facility modifications.
• Work with Automation, Engineering, Operations, and Supply Chain to improve equipment standardization.

Technician Leadership and Development

• Provide direct leadership, coaching, and technical support to ICE technicians.
• Establish training plans based on equipment, safety requirements, technology, and identified skill gaps.
• Coordinate vendor and manufacturer training where needed.
• Develop technician capabilities in instrumentation, electrical, controls, SCADA, communications, measurement, calibration, and troubleshooting.
• Promote accountability, consistent work practices, and strong equipment ownership.

Reliability and Continuous Improvement

• Review equipment failures and maintenance history to identify reliability improvements.
• Support root cause investigations and corrective actions for significant or repeat failures.
• Track key maintenance metrics including PM compliance, calibration compliance, backlog, repeat failures, emergency work, and equipment reliability.
• Identify opportunities to reduce downtime, repeat work, and operating cost.
