SCOPE:
The primary responsibility of this role, as Analyzer Technician, is to maintain process analytical equipment within established guidelines, to perform preventative maintenance on all analyzers, associated sample systems, and to maintain housekeeping inside and outside the analyzer shelters.
Analyzer Technician will:
Support improvements to existing and engineered process analyzer systems in close cooperation with supervision, I&PC and engineering.
Anticipate probable failures and take corrective action necessary to ensure minimum downtime and maximum uptime.
Support analyzer test and analyzer related capital investment projects.
Check each process analyzer and sample system on a daily basis for proper functionality and integrity, or as indicated by Intelatrac, The Visual Management Boards, and SAP.
Know the location of root valves, vaporizing regulators, impulse lines to and from sample plates for each piece of equipment.
Check gas/liquid standards, and carrier bottles weekly for proper pressure. Ensure replacement standards are ordered and on site before the expiration date. For critical Analyzers (HRVOC, CEMS, ISO, SQC, and Product) have replacement standards on site before expiration date.
Make complete repairs and replace any part of the process analyzer loop including components and carriers of the sample system (tubing, valves, fittings, columns, detectors, regulators) when warranted by physical examination. This is also to be done if process analyzer fails to comply with calibration guidelines. The calibration guidelines can be found on the PEMEX I&PC web page in the Knowledge Bank under I&PC Level 3 Work Process Documents.
Maintain records of all maintenance actions taken (Preventive Maintenance, non-routine maintenance and repair activities on all Process and Environmental Analyzers) This includes; (CEMS Data Base, Non CEMS Data Base, LEL/Gas Detector Data Base, SQC Data Base, and ISO records).
This work will be completed in a safe, environmentally sound, and cost effective manner utilizing the principles of the GAME-ME Process, Management of Change, and the Quality Improvement Process. This Analyzer Technician role is established to clarify evolving expectations and encourage maximum individual contributions.
Key to this objective is the Analyzer Technicians job knowledge and application of this knowledge. Analyzer Technicians are expected to know and understand all the fore mentioned processes, and the repair standards for all equipment worked within their craft line. Analyzer Technicians are responsible for working with their Supervisor to maintain their proficiency within their craft. Analyzer Technicians are expected to learn and maintain craft skills associated with their jobs. Analyzer Technicians should be receptive to coaching and work towards continuous improvement of their skills and knowledge. Analyzer Technicians should be open to mentoring others of lesser skill. Analyzer Technicians are accountable for all of their actions and responsible for meeting the performance standards and requirements set by management.
