These digital solutions monitor critical equipment and operational processes in real time, generating predictive alerts and operational advisories designed to prevent unplanned downtime, extend asset life, improve reliability, and optimize operational performance. This SME role exists to ensure predictive model outputs are technically interpreted, validated, operationalized, and sustained — converting AI-generated insights into measurable operational, reliability, and financial benefits across customer facilities. **The Job** The Reliability Engineering SME will serve as the technical lead supporting deployment, operational monitoring, sustainment, governance, and continuous value realization of AVEVA Predictive Analytics and Asset Performance solutions deployed across customer operations in the Middle East region. The role combines deep reliability engineering expertise with predictive maintenance, asset performance management, and operational governance capabilities to ensure deployed predictive solutions deliver sustained reliability improvements, maintenance optimization, operational efficiency, and measurable business value. The SME will act as the integrator across multiple engineering disciplines — including rotating, static, electrical, process, and integrity domains — ensuring predictive insights translate into effective operational actions, reliability improvements, and quantified programme outcomes. The role is responsible for establishing and governing the reliability and value realization framework for deployed predictive solutions, ensuring operational adoption, KPI tracking, continuous improvement, and long-term sustainment across customer facilities. **Key Responsibilities** **Solution Deployment & Model Enablement** * Support end-to-end deployment and operationalization of AVEVA predictive analytics and asset performance solutions across customer facilities in the Middle East region. * Provide reliability engineering subject matter expertise during asset onboarding, solution configuration, and model development phases. * Work closely with analytics, data science, product, and delivery teams to ensure predictive models accurately reflect: + Asset criticality + Failure modes + Reliability risk profiles + Maintenance strategies + Operational and maintenance workflows * Support asset criticality assessments, use case definition, and prioritization of high-value reliability monitoring opportunities across: + Rotating equipment + Static equipment + Electrical systems + Process systems + Integrity-critical assets * Participate in model validation, alert tuning, calibration, and user acceptance testing (UAT) activities prior to go-live. * Validate predictive model outputs against historical reliability trends, maintenance history, failure records, and operational performance data. * Support development of reliability governance frameworks, KPI structures, and value realization methodologies for deployed solutions. * Provide engineering input to support expansion of predictive monitoring and reliability optimization coverage across additional assets, systems, and facilities. **Predictive Monitoring, Sustainment & Value Realization** * Lead the reliability governance and value realization framework for deployed predictive analytics and asset performance solutions. * Own and maintain programme benefits realization tracking across all engineering disciplines and customer facilities. * Consolidate and report realized operational value including: + Downtime avoided + Maintenance cost savings + Production uplift + Energy efficiency improvements + Reduced equipment failures + Improved equipment availability * Lead bad actor analysis inf
