Join a leading environmental engineering and manufacturing organization as an on‑site Reliability Engineer dedicated to supporting critical air pollution control systems. In this role, you will serve as the primary technical maintenance expert and operational liaison for a major industrial facility in the Greater St. Louis area. You will optimize the performance of regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) systems, ensuring equipment uptime, regulatory compliance, and seamless client communication.

• Monitor and analyze operational data for TANN equipment, including RTOs, concentrators, and heater boxes.
• Execute mechanical and electrical troubleshooting alongside advanced vibration and thermal analysis to predict equipment failures.
• Lead root cause analysis (RCA) initiatives to identify system vulnerabilities and implement continuous improvement strategies.
• Coordinate and oversee subcontractors during scheduled preventative maintenance (PM) windows and facility shutdowns.
• Manage critical parts inventory to minimize equipment downtime and ensure rapid emergency response capability.
• Interface regularly with plant leadership, production teams, and external contractors to communicate technical updates and daily operational status.
• Generate comprehensive daily, weekly, and monthly reports tracking equipment health, maintenance metrics, and system efficiency.

• Experience:
  
  5–8 years of maintenance, controls, or low‑voltage electrical distribution experience within a heavy industrial or manufacturing environment (automotive or chemical plant experience preferred).
• Education:
  
  Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline is highly preferred; high‑level maintenance or electrical journeyman status is a plus.
• Software/Tools:
  Proven hands‑on experience troubleshooting control systems including PLCs, SCADA, HMIs, motor control centers (MCCs), variable frequency drives (VFDs), and low‑voltage distribution panels (480V and below).

  Ability to work a full‑time, on‑site schedule with the flexibility to support off‑shift emergencies, weekends, holidays, and plant shutdown periods.
• Proximity Constraint:
  Candidates must reside within 30–60 minutes of the facility.
• Physical Demands:
  Ability to work in an active heavy industrial environment, climb ladders, stand for extended periods, and lift or move up to 50–75 lbs with assistance.

• Impactful Work:
  Take ownership of sophisticated environmental systems that directly reduce industrial emissions and engineering clean air.
• Collaborative Culture:
  Work in an autonomous, high‑visibility role where you serve as the definitive subject matter expert on‑site.
• Safety‑First Environment:
  Join an organization that treats workplace safety as a core value, backed by comprehensive PPE guidelines and a low‑risk tolerance philosophy.
• Stability and Growth:
  Enjoy consistent full‑time engagement with an industry leader specializing in energy recovery and environmental services.
