## About the Role

Do you have experience in Vibration analysis?

## Description

The Reliability Engineer is responsible for building and sustaining equipment reliability across the Beaumont chemical facility. The incumbent collects and analyzes maintenance breakdown data, develops Pareto analyses to identify top bad actors, and leads the creation and execution of Reliability Action Plans (RAPs) designed to eliminate or significantly reduce unplanned downtime.

As an integral member of the Maintenance team, this role takes the lead in developing and driving the systems, processes, and tools needed to ensure long-term equipment reliability. The position aligns cross-functionally across operations, maintenance, and engineering - serving as the primary decision-maker for equipment reliability matters. The engineer is accountable for prioritizing root cause failure analysis (RCFA), deploying focused improvement (FI) methodologies, and providing the technical input required to achieve annual operating plan (AOP) targets., Reliability Action Planning & Failure Elimination

Establish and lead improvement projects to prevent recurrence of maintenance failures. Drive Reliability Action Plans (RAPs) that directly support plant-level goals. Lead and manage RCFA processes, ensuring root causes are identified, documented, and resolved. Apply maintenance data analysis systematically to develop high-quality action plans, then own the deployment and implementation of those plans through to closure.

KPI Analysis & Focused Improvement Analyze maintenance KPIs

Iincluding MTTR, MTBF, and breakdown frequency - to identify performance gaps and define improvement actions. Apply Focused Improvement (FI) methodologies

to address major loss categories, maintaining a prioritized project list by operations area. Oversee asset lifecycle management to eliminate obsolescence and control natural equipment deterioration within the capital management framework.

Predictive Maintenance Program Develop

Implement, and sustain a suite of predictive maintenance tools to support proactive equipment care. Technologies include gearbox inspection, infrared thermography, oil analysis, vibration analysis, and Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM). Maintain a register of potential failure modes, prioritize interventions based on criticality, and ensure decisions are made to avoid unplanned stoppages or catastrophic failures.

Asset Standards & Benchmarking

Maintain active operational functions in accordance with defined performance standards. Develop a thorough understanding of asset failure modes and their operational impact, forming the basis for proactive maintenance planning. Apply the ABC asset criticality curve (Ca) to focus resources appropriately. Lead benchmarking initiatives, technology updates, and knowledge sharing with peer facilities to drive continuous improvement.

Failure Investigation & Reporting

Participate in the investigation of significant and catastrophic failures, assuming the lead role on major events. Prepare comprehensive failure reports, maintain current status, and ensure follow-up on all corrective actions. Manage failure analysis action plans to closure. Analyze outputs from predictive maintenance tools and translate findings into defined maintenance actions
