Engineering Standards and Practice Lead

• 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. 

• Engineering or technical degree with 4-6 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.
