Integrity Data Specialist

What you will do

Responsible for day-to-day operation of the risk-based inspection (RBI) system, used for integrity management of static equipment. Data management is an essential part of this operation.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain the integrity data foundation; equipment hierarchy, corrosion loops, circuits and TML/CML registers; in the asset performance management system, keeping it aligned with P&IDs, isometrics and Maximo master data.

• Validate and load inspection result; UT thickness readings, NDT reports, ILI runs, corrosion monitoring data; checking coverage, plausibility and traceability before they enter the integrity database.

• Calculate and trend corrosion rates, remaining life and next-inspection dates, flagging anomalies and equipment approaching minimum allowable thickness or retirement limits.

• Prepare and support fitness-for-service assessments (API 579-1 / ASME FFS-1) for identified defects and document the justification for continued operation or repair.

• Detailed data collection of as-built information and transferring this critical data into RBI systems (this involves reading P&ID’s, isometrics and construction drawings).

• Compile the integrity dossiers and evidence packages needed for regulatory and accreditation purposes — Warenwetbesluit drukapparatuur inspection records, interval extension substantiation, NL-CBI reviews.

• Define and monitor data quality rules and integrity KPIs, reporting on backlog, overdue inspections, data completeness and equipment risk profile through dashboards for asset owners and management.

• Act as the technical interface between inspection contractors, maintenance planners, corrosion engineers and the inspection bodytranslating field findings into planned work scopes and, conversely, RBI outputs into executable inspection plans.

• Maintain and improve the integrity management procedures and work instructions, participate in reassessments after plant modifications or excursions, and support internal audits and management-of-change reviews.

• On site support of Inspection Contractors to guarantee to obtain a higher data quality standard.

We'd like to see as many of the following skills on your CV:

• Minimum of 1 year working in similar role working with Cenosco’s Integrity Management System including essential training the platform use.

• Demonstrable experience with gas storage installations: underground gas storage surface facilities, wellheads and well integrity interfaces, compression, gas treatment/dehydration, high-pressure pipework and pressure vessels.

• Ownership of integrity data: building and maintaining equipment hierarchies, corrosion loops, TML/CML databases, inspection histories and RBI assessments in an integrity management system.

• RBI methodology: API RP 580; ability to set up and challenge probability-of-failure and consequence-of-failure models.

• General knowledge about damage mechanisms in gas service in accordance with API RP 571.

• Inspection techniques and their data output: UT, RT, PEC, PT, MT, TOFD for piping, vessels and ability to judge data quality and coverage.

• Experience preparing integrity data for regulatory reporting to the Dutch authorities (NL-CBI reviews) or equivalent.

• Able to build and document data models, migration procedures and validation checks so results are reproducible for auditors and accreditation bodies.

• Experience of working in the NL oil and gas industry.

• Understanding basic asset management principles and ISO/IEC 17020 inspection body requirements (independence, traceability, records).

• Living in the Netherlands                                                     

Even if you do not see yourself reflected in all the skills required, we still encourage to apply. Research has shown that not everyone applies if they do not feel 100% qualified. However, with our personal development budget we'd be more than happy to help you grow to your potential in this job.

What we offer

You'll be part of the TAQA team filled with energetic and international people that describe their colleagues as helpful, driven, knowledgeable and professional!

This is a contractor position for at least one year.

Who are we

We focus on the on- and offshore production of oil and gas as well as the operation of two underground gas storage facilities. The latter are strategic assets in the reliable provision of gas in the Netherlands. Their importance will only increase in the coming years as the greater dependence on gas imports will mean domestic storage becomes key to maintaining security of supply.

The energy landscape in the Netherlands is changing, and TAQA is supporting the energy transition in two key ways: we are contributing to continuity of gas supply in the short-term as the transition agenda moves forward. We are also participating in large-scale sustainability developments such as hydrogen and green gas expertise center Investa and Porthos, a CO₂ capture and storage project.

Our success as a company depends on the engagement and passion of our people. Although our organization is large and global, locally we work with short reporting lines in an open and informal culture.

We strive for diversity when attracting talent to our organisation and give your personal development our full attention. In all we do, safety is our first priority. The safety and care of our people, as well as our surroundings and the environment.
