The Reliability Engineer partners with operations and maintenance teams to research common failures and implement strategies and engineering changes to reduce equipment downtime. 

The successful candidate will be responsible for driving efforts to ensure reliability (MTBF) and maintainability (MTTR) of equipment, processes, utilities, facilities, controls and safety/security systems. Identify and manage asset reliability risks that could adversely affect plant or business operations. This broad primary role includes loss elimination, risk management and life cycle asset management.  The ideal candidate for this position will have extensive experience in using engineering problem solving skills to identify root cause, trends and failure modes to reduce or eliminate failures and have the capability to implement solutions as both project engineer and project manager when the need arises. 

What You Will Be Doing

• Develop engineering solutions to repetitive failures and all other problems that adversely affect plant operations. These problems include capacity, quality, cost, or regulatory compliance issues. To fulfill this responsibility, the reliability engineer applies data analysis techniques that can include:
• Statistical process control
• Reliability modeling and prediction
• Root cause analysis (RCA) and root cause failure analysis (RCFA)
• Failure reporting, analysis and corrective action system (FRACAS)
• Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
• Works with project engineering to ensure the reliability and maintainability of new and modified installations.
• Ability to design and implement Maintenance Reliability projects through the following competencies:
• Select, hire and manage engineering consultants and contractors.
• Manage multiple assigned engineering and or technical service projects establishing manpower, budgets, scheduling, equipment, and materials.
• Control project schedule, costs and quality via project management skills.
• Professionally and systematically defines, designs, develops, monitors and refines an asset maintenance plan that includes:
• Value-added preventive maintenance tasks.
• Effective utilization of predictive and other non-destructive testing methodologies designed to identify and isolate inherent reliability problems.
• Provides input to a risk management plan that will anticipate reliability-related and non-reliability-related risks that could adversely impact plant operations.
• Ability to train other personnel on data analysis tools and techniques.
• Works with Production, Maintenance, and Engineering to perform analyses of assets including:
• Asset utilization
• Equipment effectiveness
• Remaining useful life
• Other parameters that define operating condition, reliability, and costs of assets.
• Provides technical support to production maintenance and technical personnel.
• Applies value analysis to repair/replace, repair/design and make/buy decisions
• Participate in plant and enterprise driven continuous improvement projects and initiatives.

What You Need for this Position

-Bachelor of Science in an Engineering discipline is required with BSME (Mechanical Engineer) and/or focus in Equipment Reliability Engineering preferred.

-Preferred Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional (CMRP)

-3 or more years of experience in maintenance and reliability, production management, engineering or operations experience.

-Advanced computer skills

-Experience using continuous improvement methodologies to lead RCA and RFCA events.

-Ability to develop and manage good working relationships with internal departments. (production, sales, logistics, accounting), contractors, suppliers, inspectors, and customers.

-Strong mechanical and electrical knowledge and aptitude.

-Strong written and verbal communication skills.

-Strong knowledge of preventive maintenance programs and the tools associated with failure detection (i.e., vibration analysis, oil monitoring, and thermography) as well as the software associated with them.
