Reliability Engineer

The Reliability Engineer will play a key role in improving plant equipment reliability, eliminating recurring failures, and reducing unplanned downtime and total asset lifecycle costs. The Reliability Engineer will partner closely with Maintenance, Operations, Engineering, and Capital Projects to analyze equipment data, identify reliability risks, implement preventative/predictive maintenance strategies, and drive continuous improvement across the plant.Reliability Engineer ResponsibilitiesAnalyze equipment and process data from CMMS, field testing, and other sources to identify reliability trends, recurring failures, and opportunities for improvementIdentify and prioritize equipment “bad actors” and develop action plans to eliminate the most critical sources of unplanned downtimeLead and support Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) to determine failure cause and implement sustainable corrective actionsDevelop, implement, and continuously improve Preventative and Predictive Maintenance (PM/PdM) strategies based on equipment criticality and reliability requirementsPartner with Maintenance and Operations teams to improve equipment performance, maintainability, and overall asset reliabilitySupport Early Management activities for new and modified equipment, ensuring reliability and maintainability are incorporated into Capital Projects from design through installationSupport Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) Planned Maintenance programs and provide training on reliability tools, methodologies, and precision maintenance practicesEvaluate asset lifecycle costs, repair/replacement requirements, equipment downtime, and MRO considerations to optimize maintenance strategies and reliability investmentsDevelop reliability reports, charts, calculations, diagrams, and other analysis to communicate equipment performance and recommend improvementsLead and develop reliability capabilities across Maintenance, Engineering, and technical teams while coordinating internal and external resources on reliability projects and initiativesReliability Engineer QualificationsBachelor's degree in Engineering, Science, Operations, Business, or related field3+ years of experience in industrial manufacturing/maintenance or reliability experienceExperience working in common CMMS systems (SAP preferred)Reliability Engineer Additional SkillsExperience with TPMExperience with condition-based monitoring technologies such as vibration, thermography, motor circuit analysis, or tribologyCertified Maintenance and Reliability Professional (CMRP)Project management experience
