This role will provide technical subject matter expertise support for or lead:

• Plant operation support and troubleshooting (24/7 plant ops support)
• Preventive Maintenance Program Management (best practice compliance, CMMS system administration, field technical support)
• Predictive Indication Program Management (vibration, cooling water chemistry, infrared, ultrasonic, lubrication, etc.)
• Reliability Performance Data Management (KPIs, Budget/Cost, Downtime/Uptime, MTBF, work order completion, Service Hours, etc.; accurate, organized, and on-time administrative reporting, schedule, tasks, time, costs, etc.)
• Reliability Project Management (coordinate scope, schedule, resources, finance, and stakeholders)
• Productivity and reliability performance assessments (Lean 6S, Engineering disciplines, CMMS, P&L statements, ROI, etc.)
• Procurement (technical specifications, vendor/service provider management, etc.)
• Process and Equipment design engineering (engineering design disciplines, documents, and specifications)
• Implementation and oversight of change management (P&IDs, EMOC, etc.)
• Failure analysis and corrective action plans (RAM, RCFA, FTA/C&E, 8D, Pareto, fishbone, affinity, etc.)
• Engineering safety, quality, and reliability risk assessment (DMAIC, HAZOP, FMEA, RAM, C&E, LOPA, etc.)
