## Description

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Reliability Engineer to join our team in Fort Worth, TX. In this high-level technical role, you will be responsible for the implementation, continuous improvement, and sustainability of reliability systems and processes across our manufacturing facility. Your primary focus will be maximizing equipment uptime, reducing operational costs, and ensuring peak efficiency for critical heavy steel processing and fabrication equipment (including automated lasers, cut-to-length lines, and heavy structural rolls)., * Program Leadership: Lead the development, management, and coordination of asset reliability programs for all primary steel processing machinery and support equipment.

 * Predictive Maintenance (PdM): Establish, optimize, and maintain robust preventive and predictive maintenance programs (e.g., vibration analysis, thermography, oil analysis) to eliminate unplanned downtime.

Root Cause & Defect Elimination

 * Asset Analysis: Drive production uptime using formal reliability tools and processes-including Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) and Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA)-to identify, isolate, and resolve chronic equipment failures ("bad actors").
