Reliability Engineers

Improve equipment availability and reliability through the implementation of various processes such as continuous improvement and defect elimination through RCA (Root Cause Analysis) and Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) through the implementation of condition-based monitoring, planned preventative maintenance, and accurate maintenance practices. Implement best proactive maintenance practices including lubrication, laser alignment, etc. Identify and standardize critical spare parts. Define preventative maintenance and predictive preventative maintenance procedures and frequency of implementation. Interface with Maintenance Planner to confirm that preventative maintenance procedures and intervals are entered into CMMS and are consistent with asset performance. Provide input into the selection of new equipment capable of providing improved operations and reduced downtime. Provide periodic asset utilization accounting and Key Performance Indicator (KPI) data. Initiate and implement maintenance related small capital projects that result in improvement of process efficiency, upgrading of utility systems, or improved operational safety. Support maintenance and engineering groups as needed.

Requires a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related field

Minimum Experience Required

Requires 1 year of engineering and maintenance experience in a manufacturing plant. Must have experience with: continuous operation equipment; discrete unit operations with rotating components; providing technical assistance to production for equipment operating problems; reliability-based maintenance of rotating components and other process equipment and instrumentation; working with contractors and maintenance personnel; reading and interpreting process, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation drawings from vendors and design engineers; OSHA guidelines; RCA procedures; breakdown analysis and breakdown elimination projects; 3D design software; and AutoCAD.
