As part of our global team, you’ll be empowered to make a real impact—on your career, your community, and the world around you.

As a Reliability Engineer, you will play a key role in driving asset reliability, maintenance strategy optimization, and long-term equipment performance. You will be responsible for developing and implementing the site’s 3-year Reliability Improvement Plan, while leveraging advanced reliability tools and methodologies to reduce risk, improve uptime, and eliminate low-value maintenance activities.

• Conduct equipment criticality screening and risk analysis to identify and prioritize critical assets and Balance of Plant (BOP) equipment
• Develop and implement Asset Strategies aligned with equipment criticality and business objectives
• Support the execution of the 3-year Reliability Improvement Plan, including asset availability tracking and performance improvement initiatives
• Select and implement appropriate Risk Management and Failure Management Strategies, developing Equipment Maintenance Strategies (EMS) for critical and BOP equipment
• Partner with the PPM Coordinator to optimize Preventive Maintenance programs, including:
  • Evaluating effectiveness of existing plans
  • Eliminating low-value PM activities
  • Incorporating vendor data, RCM methodologies, and historical performance trends
• Ensure proper inclusion of maintenance requirements for spare parts and stored equipment to maintain asset integrity during storage
• Evaluate and implement condition monitoring technologies (e.g., predictive maintenance tools) to enhance asset performance and reliability
• Ensure accurate documentation of maintenance and inspection data within CMMS systems to enable data-driven decision making
• Monitor and analyze asset reliability metrics, including maintenance history, PPM performance, RCA outcomes, and production loss data
• Identify and prioritize reliability improvement opportunities using cost and performance data
• Facilitate Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) studies using tools such as Weibull analysis and FMEA
• Implement effective corrective actions and continuous improvement initiatives
• Provide reliability and maintenance input for capital projects, including equipment selection, design reviews, BOM development, and PM strategies
• Ensure new equipment is properly integrated into reliability systems, maintenance strategies, and site processes prior to startup
• Conduct gap analyses between Asset Reliability Plans, EMS, and PPM programs to identify improvement opportunities
• Optimize maintenance strategies by eliminating low-value work while maintaining risk control across safety, production, and cost considerations
• Lead or support facility audits and equipment inspections to proactively prevent asset deterioration
• Partner with the PPM Coordinator to optimize spare parts inventory and equipment availability
• Champion the use of Management of Change (MOC) for all equipment and process modifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical Engineering preferred)
• 5+ years of experience as a maintenance, reliability, or project engineer within a chemical manufacturing environment
• Proven experience leading cross-functional teams and driving reliability initiatives
• Strong knowledge of electrical codes and standards, including:
  • NFPA-NEC and NETA (or similar)
• Experience with equipment condition monitoring techniques, including:
  • Infrared thermography
  • Oil analysis
  • Motor circuit analysis
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and data-driven decision-making skills

• Certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt
• Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE)

At Lubrizol, we are committed to fostering a safe, high-performance, and collaborative work environment. In this role, you will:

• Work on-site within a chemical manufacturing facility, utilizing appropriate PPE
• Collaborate closely with Maintenance, Reliability, Engineering, and Operations teams
• Utilize…
