## About the Role

* Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering - required.
 * Hands-on experience with Preventive Maintenance development and optimization.
 * Practical experience with Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM).
 * Experience evaluating industrial assets, equipment components, failure modes, and maintenance requirements.
 * Experience developing maintenance strategies with the goal of preventing equipment failure and improving reliability.

 * Reliability engineering experience in a chemical, petrochemical, process, industrial, or manufacturing environment.
 * Experience working with specialized, proprietary, or newly developed equipment.
 * Experience evaluating OEM maintenance recommendations and developing site-specific maintenance strategies.

Recruiter Focus

MUST HAVE: Mechanical Engineering degree + PM Development + PM Optimization + RCM + asset/component evaluation + CMMS experience.

The ideal candidate is an engineer who understands why equipment fails and how to prevent it, rather than someone who simply manages an existing maintenance schedule.

## Description

* Develop and optimize Preventive Maintenance (PM) programs for industrial equipment and machinery.
 * Apply Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) methodology to evaluate assets and determine appropriate maintenance strategies.
 * Break down equipment into individual components/parts and evaluate potential failure modes, consequences, and maintenance requirements.
 * Review OEM manuals and maintenance recommendations and determine whether they adequately address the equipment's actual operating conditions and reliability requirements.
 * Establish maintenance activities and frequencies designed to prevent equipment failures and maximize uptime.
 * Evaluate both standard and highly specialized/proprietary equipment where established maintenance strategies may not exist.
 * Work with maintenance and operations teams to translate reliability strategies into practical PM requirements.
 * Utilize a CMMS to document, manage, and optimize maintenance strategies and asset information.
 * Support continuous improvement of maintenance and reliability programs as equipment performance and operating history develop.
