The Reliability Engineer role will focus on the longer-term (2+ years) strategic implementation of plant asset reliability improvements.
Job Responsibilities:
- Lead the development, design and installation of predictive maintenance programs and technology applications to identify dominant deterioration and failure modes, causes/effects of deterioration and corrective actions required to eliminate defects
- Analyze maintenance data to identify trends in equipment performance that adversely affect Safety, Overall Equipment Effectiveness, or costs to establish an "Equipment Top 10 List" that will become the primary focus of driving improved reliability. Develop and implement the improvement plans for these high-priority assets
- You will drive the development of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), such as Asset Utilization, MTBF, On-Stream Time (OST), and benchwork performance against best-in-class, track progress, and measure improvements
- Conduct analysis/investigations and provide leadership to others in Failure Mode and Effects Analysis and Root Cause Analysis on equipment failures that significantly affect Safety, Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), or costs. Ensure the results from this analysis become the basis for the applicable Equipment Maintenance Strategies.

- Work with Subject Matter Experts on the development of Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) models
- Learn the technology and take ownership for maintaining these models to help with forecasting plant on-stream availability, or identifying where the greatest risk of failure exists based on historical plant failure data
- Develop strategies to reduce these risks that may involve adding redundancy, changing PM frequencies, increasing spare parts availability, etc.
- Develop a comprehensive Spare Parts Strategy
- Create accurate development of equipment Bill of Materials
- Verify existing inventory of spare parts and ensure these parts are accurately documented in SAP

- Formal Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) training/certification
- SAP Experience
- Proven analytical troubleshooting/problem-solving skills; able to apply them to assess and improve equipment reliability
- Competent computer skills with working knowledge of MS Office programs and databases
- Team player able to build productive and positive working relationships with cross-functional teams
