Purpose Of The Job:
The Reliability Engineer, RE, utilizes engineering practices to drive out sources of repetitive failure in equipment and processes. The Reliability Engineer will identify and manage asset reliability risks that could adversely affect plant or business operations. In addition, the Reliability Engineer is involved in the early management design and installation stages of capital projects for new assets, modification of existing assets, and conducts and develops various analytical methods for determining reliability of components, equipment, and processes.

The RE must be an active member of Total Productive Maintenance's PM Pillar. This role acquires process and equipment data, provides analysis of the data to include preparation of charts, diagrams, drawings, calculations, and reports which define reliability problems and makes recommendations for improvements. The level of reliability required for an asset will consider the criticality ranking, the economic limitations for equipment up/down time, repair/replacement costs, availability of materials/equipment, etc.

The Reliability Engineer, with clear external perspective of our customers' demands, will develop and ensure the execution of plans to reduce or eliminate production losses and abnormally high maintenance cost assets, and executes or follows the execution of that plan intended to drive improved availability. Reliability Engineer will manage salary Maintenance Planner and hourly predictive maintenance technicians including scheduling, performance reviews, training, development, and planned work.
