Job Description & How to Apply Below
Location: Mamhilad
Our client is seeking a practical and proactive Reliability Engineering Manager who thrives in a factory-facing role. This position does not have direct reports, but it requires a strong leader who can coach, influence, and develop the engineering and production teams to embed best-in-class reliability practices.
The Role
The Reliability Engineering Manager will take ownership of asset reliability strategy across a site that operates largely manual processes. You will be responsible for improving equipment uptime, developing preventative maintenance systems, and driving a structured asset care approach.
Working closely with Engineering, Production, and Site Leadership teams, you will act as the subject matter expert for reliability, supporting a culture shift towards proactive rather than reactive maintenance.
Key Responsibilities
* Develop and implement site-wide asset care and reliability strategies
* Improve OEE and reduce downtime through structured root cause analysis
* Coach engineers and operators on best practice maintenance and asset ownership
* Embed preventative and predictive maintenance principles
* Analyse breakdown trends and identify continuous improvement opportunities
* Support capital projects with reliability input
About You
* Proven experience as a Reliability Engineering Manager or in a similar reliability-focused role within food manufacturing
* Minimum 2 years’ experience in asset care systems and reliability strategy
* Strong understanding of maintenance planning and continuous improvement tools
* Comfortable working in a highly manual production environment
* Hands-on, visible, and confident influencing cross-functional teams
* Excellent problem-solving and coaching skills
This is a fantastic opportunity for a driven Reliability Engineering Manager who wants to make a tangible impact on site performance without direct line management responsibility, while still playing a key leadership role through coaching and technical expertise
