About the role!
The Engineering Standards and Practice Lead will lead the day-to-day operation of Castrol’s Engineering Standards & Practices lifecycle—taking standards and practices from intake and triage through coordinated review, drafting/editing and updates, governance endorsement, publication readiness, and adoption support across Performance Units. The Engineering Standards and Practice Lead will coordinate the Standards Working Group to manage intake/change control, review and updates, publishing/adoption tracking, and decision/change logs, using a third‑party engineering contractor / technical service provider for external support where needed. The Engineering Standards and Practice Lead will enable effective Engineering Standards Governance Board decisions through clear decision packs, accurate decision logs, and disciplined action tracking. Success in this role will be measured by portfolio health (current register, owners assigned, reviews completed on cadence), governance effectiveness (decision-ready packs and actions closed), adoption (rollout/training delivered and tracked), and continuity of standards access and internal knowledge links across PUs.
What you will deliver
Maintain up-to-date engineering standards portfolio register (owners, revision dates, review cadence, dependencies, and adoption status by Performance Unit), with open issues and actions controlled to closure.
An effective end-to-end standards lifecycle workflow (intake → triage → owner assignment → review coordination → consolidated feedback → governance submission → decision/action tracking → publication readiness).
Draft, edit, and update engineering standards and practices (including incorporating consolidated feedback) through change control to enable Governance Board endorsement and publication readiness.
Coordinate the Standards Working Group to manage intake/change control, review and updates, publishing/adoption tracking, and decision/change logs.
Reconcile normative references and interdependencies (document-to-document links and cited standards) and govern a Gap Register with interim mitigations, owners, and due dates controlled to closure.
Governance Board outcomes delivered on a predictable cadence: clear agendas and decision packs, accurate minutes and decisions logs, and concise portfolio/status dashboards that enable timely endorsements and adoption decisions.
Coordinated delivery across two maintenance streams: internally maintained procedures/practices and externally supported standards linked to industry and regulatory bodies, including integration of third‑party updates into Castrol requirements where applicable.
Reliable standards access and knowledge management enablers (e.g., industry standards subscriptions and internal libraries/hubs), with link integrity, user guidance, and structured feedback capture for continuous improvement.
Adoption support for updated standards and practices, including communications/training materials and rollout tracking, with a visible feedback loop to inform future revisions.
Skills & Proficiencies:
Engineering or technical degree with 15-20 years of relevant experience in standards/requirements management and controlled documentation environments.
Experience coordinating multi-stakeholder reviews and governance forums (decision packs, minutes, decision/action tracking).
Working knowledge of engineering standards ecosystems, including internally handled procedures/practices and externally sourced industry standards (e.g., API, ASME, NFPA, IEC, ISO, OSHA) and common access/subscription models.
Strong written communication and customer management across global teams; able to translate diverse inputs into concise, decision-ready material.
Comfort working with portfolio registers, review cadences, and reporting dashboards to demonstrate standards “portfolio health” and progress to closure.
You will work with
Global Engineering & Manufacturing Manager (process owner) and Global Process Engineer (SPA) to align governance, cadence, and lifecycle execution.
Engineering Standards Governance Board members and nominated senior engineering/manufacturing representatives across Performance Units (Americas, China, India, Asia‑Pacific, EMETA).
Process Safety Engineers and other domain experts to ensure alignment to process safety, mechanical integrity, and operational risk controls.
Document authors/owners for internally maintained standards, practices, and procedures.
Third‑party engineering contractor / technical service provider for external support where needed.
