My client, a top operator here in Houston, is urgently looking for a BOP RCFA lead. Please see the description below.The following skills/experience is desired:
- 4-year engineering or technical degree

The following general job description applies:
- Conduct multiple equipment failure investigations at a time according to the defined Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) process.

This may include coordinating participation and defining responsibilities for qualified third party representatives to witness incoming testing, disassembly and inspection activities following equipment failures when RCFA/TAT members cannot be present.

- Prepare RCFA reports in a timely manner via the prescribed format. Upload approved reports into Shell's reports database and link the reports to the RCFA/TAT's website.
- Inform RCFA/TAT Leader of key issues and improvements identified through RCFA.
