• Collaborate with customer inspection, integrity, operations, maintenance, and reliability teams to plan and execute corrective and preventive activities.
• Review, validate, and operationalize AI/analytics-driven recommendations generated through deployed AVEVA solutions.
• Support Risk-Based Inspection (RBI), Fitness-for-Service (FFS), corrosion management, and integrity optimization initiatives.
• Ensure predictive models remain aligned with actual operating conditions, inspection strategies, and integrity management practices throughout the sustainment lifecycle.
• Act as the primary technical focal point during sustainment and managed service phases for assigned integrity and corrosion monitoring portfolios.
• Support continuous improvement, model refinement, and enhancement of predictive monitoring effectiveness.
• Track and report integrity and value realization KPIs including:
• Inspection deferrals justified
• Early wall loss detection
• Avoided integrity failures
• Reduced inspection costs
• Reduced unplanned downtime
• Participate in governance meetings, technical reviews, workshops, and value realization sessions with customer stakeholders and project teams.
• Provide operational feedback and engineering recommendations to analytics, product, and delivery teams to improve solution performance and customer outcomes.
• Support long-term customer adoption, sustainment, and continuous business value realization from deployed predictive analytics solutions.
• Conduct periodic visits to customer plants, operational facilities, and industrial sites to support deployment activities, technical assessments, alert validation, integrity reviews, and stakeholder engagement.
• We are known for our extraordinary people who make the impossible possible every day.
• Questians are driven by hunger, humility, and aspiration.
• We believe that our company culture is the key to our ability to make a true difference in every industry we reach.
• Our teams regularly invest time and dedicated effort into internal culture work, ensuring that all voices are heard.
