Senior Mechanical Reliability & Equipment Engineer

Job Description

Engineer Reliability. Elevate Performance. Protect People and Planet.

Our mission is to run safe, high-quality, compliant operations while unlocking throughput and efficiency. As a senior mechanical leader in a process or chemical manufacturing environment, you’ll architect improvements to equipment and facilities, mentor teams, and institutionalize continuous improvement.

A line is losing uptime to intermittent hydraulic faults. You convene maintenance, operations, and quality, deploy root cause analysis, model solutions in AutoCAD, validate impacts, and present a capital plan with ROI. Within weeks, you implement changes, train the crew, and confirm compliance to governing codes and standards—downtime drops, operators are safer, and quality stabilizes.

• Lead manufacturing and facility upgrade projects with clear scope, budget control, and ROI accountability.
• Design, test, and iterate on machinery to boost efficiency and reliability.
• Tackle mechanical, motion, and hydraulic issues; guide maintenance and production teams on durable fixes.
• Apply continuous improvement and root cause analysis to prevent recurrence of failures.

• Expert AutoCAD capability spanning electrical, mechanical, and architectural drawings.
• Advanced troubleshooting of mechanical, motion, and hydraulic systems.
• Baseline troubleshooting for electrical systems, instrumentation devices, and PLCs.
• Demonstrated success collaborating across functions to deliver results.

• 3D CAD exposure (Solid Works, Fusion 360, Navisworks).
• Six Sigma Black Belt credential.
• Background in chemical manufacturing.

• Salary Range : $110,000 – $130,000 (based on experience, education, certifications, and skills)
