About

Reliability Lead with 12+ years of experience improving asset performance across manufacturing plants, chemicals, cement, and global oil & gas/energy engineering services. At Quest Global, I lead Reliability and EAM team supporting international energy assets. My work connects process-safety and asset-risk findings with practical maintenance, inspection, condition-monitoring, and CMMS/EAM actions. I support PHA, HAZOP, LOPA, IPL reviews, mitigative safeguards, safety-critical equipment, and integrity-action closure. My core strengths include: • Reliability strategy, equipment criticality, RCM, FMEA/FMECA, RCA/RCFA, bad-actor elimination and defect elimination • Preventive/predictive maintenance, condition monitoring, shutdowns/turnarounds, planning, scheduling, backlog and spares/MRO • SAP S/4HANA PM, IBM Maximo, CMMS/EAM transformation, asset hierarchy, master-data governance and ISO 14224 taxonomy • SAP HANA, Power BI, Digital Twin/APM concepts and InView • Rotating and static equipment across process and manufacturing plants Selected results: • Improved PM compliance from 35% to 92% within 5 months across multiple plants • Improved MTBF by 4% and reduced MTTR by 6% • Governed 30,000+ material codes and delivered INR 5 Cr+ CAPEX • Achieved 5%+ annual energy reduction I combine hands-on plant maintenance experience with reliability leadership, process safety, and digital asset-management capability. I am interested in Reliability Lead/Manager, Maintenance Excellence, Asset Management, and EAM/CMMS leadership opportunities across manufacturing, oil & gas, energy, chemicals, and process industries.
