About the Role:

As a CBRE Reliability Program Director ,you will lead the team and programs responsible for optimizing the performance and reliability of MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) systems while ensuring continuity,uptime, and quality control across all properties. You will combine engineering operations leadership with reliability engineering discipline tomonitor, analyze, and resolve system and infrastructure issues—especiallywithin mission-criticaloperational environments —and drive consistent preventive maintenance and repair performance.

It is responsible for providing support, preventive maintenance, and repairs on equipment and systems, while elevating reliability standards across the portfolio.

• Own portfolio performance and financial results by overseeing abusiness unit’s operating performance, approving annual budgets, and drivingcost, risk, and reliability outcomes across properties and mission-critical environments.
• Lead and develop the engineering operation steam through formal supervision, recruiting and hiring, performance evaluations,coaching, and training plans—ensuring the team is staffed, skilled, andcross-trained to execute consistently.
• Direct day-to-day engineering operations by coordinatingworkload, establishing schedules, assigning tasks, tracking deadlines, and ensuring continuity, quality control, and compliance across all sites.

• Drive asset performance through reliabilitydiscipline bydefining, designing, developing, monitoring, and refining maintenance plans forMEP systems and fixed assets; providing technical support and reliabilityguidance to site teams.
• Evaluate assets and eliminate repeat failures by partnering with engineering and operations teams to assess asset condition and performance,analyze trends, identify faults/symptoms, and implement corrective actions that improve uptime and lifecycle performance.
• Lead risk-based reliability planning by developing risk management plans that anticipate reliability-related and operational risks thatcould negatively impact plant or facility operations and coordinatingmitigation actions.
• Troubleshoot and restore critical systems by diagnosing routinetechnical service and equipment problems, restoring functionality, and strengthening processes to prevent recurrence.
• Direct facility controls and asset management systems toensure effective monitoring, maintenance execution, documentation accuracy, and operational visibility for decision-making.
• Maintain governance, documentation, and standards by ensuring policies and procedures are followed, documentation is current (PMschedules, configurations, applications, technical references), and standards are improved where needed.
• Improve methods and raise standards by identifying and solving complex operational and organizational problems, significantlyimproving processes, and implementing new approaches that elevate reliability and operational performance.
• Influence across teams and stakeholders by applying broad business and technical knowledge to drive cross-functional outcomes, explain sensitive topics, build consensus, and persuade others toward alignedexecution.
• Model CBRE RISE values and leadership behaviors by leading by example,operating within broad guidelines, exercising sound judgment based on multiple inputs, and delivering measurable impact across customer, operational, project,and service activities.
