Job Summary

This position will be filled at the Engineer, Senior Engineer, Staff Engineer, Engineering Technical Specialist II, or Engineering Technical Specialist III level, commensurate with the successful candidate's knowledge, skills, abilities, experience, and education.

Dominion Energy is seeking a highly motivated individual to join the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) Operations and Maintenance Team. This role is critical in driving proactive reliability solutions, implementing data-driven methodologies, and supporting long-term asset reliability. 

Key Responsibilities

• Reliability Analysis: Perform reliability modeling and analysis (e.g., Weibull analysis, failure mode effect analysis (FMEA), and criticality evaluation) to assess and improve system performance. 
• Preventative and Predictive Maintenance: Develop and optimize maintenance strategies, including condition-based and predictive maintenance programs, to maximize equipment uptime. 
• Performance Monitoring and Analysis: Monitor and report on key operational and reliability metrics such as Availability, MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure), and MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) to identify improvement opportunities. 
• Project Management: Lead initiation, planning, and execution of major overhauls or improvement initiatives. 
• Design Reviews: Participate in the design and engineering of new systems to ensure reliability principles are incorporated into the development process. 
• Failure Analysis: Perform in-depth root cause analysis on failures and lead cross-functional teams to implement corrective and preventive actions.  
• Spare Parts Analysis: Perform critical spare parts assessment to determine optimal inventory levels. 
• Proactive Rist Mitigation: Conduct risk assessments and failure mode effect analysis (FMEA) to identify potential risks and develop mitigation strategies. 
• Continuous Improvement: Drive identification and execution of continuous improvement initiatives. 
• Troubleshooting: Support troubleshooting efforts by diagnosing on-site equipment issues, analyzing historical operational data, and documenting failure modes. 
• Training and Mentorship: Provide guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and cross-functional teams on reliability principles and best practices.
