• Analyze equipment performance data and maintenance history to identify trends, predict failures, and develop maintenance strategies.
• Collaborate with maintenance and operations teams to develop and refine preventative and predictive maintenance programs.
• Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) for equipment reliability, including mean time between failures (MTBF), mean time to repair (MTTR), and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
• Lead continuous improvement projects aimed at reducing downtime, improving safety, and increasing the reliability of manufacturing processes.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations for equipment reliability and safety.
• Provide technical support and expertise to the operations and maintenance teams on troubleshooting and resolving equipment issues.
• Train and mentor staff on best practices for equipment reliability and maintenance.

• 3-5 years of experience as a Reliability Engineer in a heavy manufacturing or industrial environment.
• Strong knowledge of reliability principles, tools, and methodologies (e.g., FMEA, RCA, RCM).
• Proficiency in maintenance and reliability software (e.g., CMMS, SAP PM Emaintenance, MVP, MPP).
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes and equipment, such as hydraulic presses, chemical systems, other heavy machinery, conveyors, pumps, VFD's, and rotating equipment.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work collaboratively across departments.
• Strong analytical and data-driven mindset to assess equipment performance and make informed decisions.
• Knowledge of regulatory and safety standards in a heavy manufacturing setting.

Preferred Skills:

• Certification in reliability engineering (e.g., Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE)).
• Experience with condition monitoring technologies (e.g., vibration analysis, thermography).
