Electrical Reliability Engineer

About the role

The Electrical Reliability Engineer will help advance electrical and instrumentation reliability across a diverse portfolio of pipeline and terminal assets in the Midwest, focusing on improving asset availability and reducing lifecycle risk through innovative reliability strategies, predictive modeling, and condition-based maintenance.

Responsibilities

• Help define, build, and sustain an instrument, electrical and control’s reliability program that identifies and closes reliability gaps, improves equipment availability, and ensures assets are used effectively to support safe, reliable operations.
• Develop and execute electrical and instrumentation reliability strategies that support long-term asset management objectives.
• Lead and/or support failure analysis, root cause analysis (RCA), and FMEA efforts for electrical and instrumentation equipment failures, recurring downtime events, and safety incidents.
• Ensure corrective actions are implemented and sustained.
• Develop and maintain Asset Lifecycle Management (equipment criticality, reliability standards, and maintenance strategies) including recommendations for critical spares and build-for-reliability improvements.
• Analyze reliability data (CMMS, historian, power quality data, alarms) to identify trends, risks, and improvement opportunities.
• Partner with Operations and Maintenance to shift maintenance practices from time-based to condition-based triggers where value is demonstrated.
• Advance predictive modeling and asset health monitoring, where profitable, leveraging increased instrumentation and modern analytics approaches (including machine learning/modeling).
• Support reliability-related field troubleshooting and coordinate with internal stakeholders and external vendors/contractors to resolve issues and prevent recurrence.
• Collaborate with ICE engineering peers (power, controls, instrumentation) to integrate reliability learnings into design standards and project execution.

Requirements

• Technical or bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering with 3+ years of work experience, OR 5+ years of experience in an industrial setting with an electrical power or reliability focus.
• Experience supporting industrial electrical and/or instrumentation systems (e.g., power distribution equipment, motor-driven equipment systems, protective devices, instrumentation, PLC’s/controllers, analyzers, or related assets).
• Experience maintaining engineering documents for electrical and instrumentation systems (e.g., one-lines, panel schedules, schematics, wiring diagrams).
• Willingness to travel up to 25%, with occasional increases based on business needs.

Qualifications

• Experience applying reliability tools and methods such as RCA, failure analysis, criticality ranking, and/or FMEA.
• Strong analytical skills in assessing electrical system performance, conducting load studies, and reporting reliability KPIs related to asset health, availability, and downtime.
• Demonstrated ability to implement or improve condition-based maintenance programs and use predictive, preventive, and analytical testing to assess asset health.
• Experience developing reliability strategies and lifecycle plans for electrical/instrumentation assets, including spares recommendations and standardization.
• Familiarity with industrial controls environments (PLC/HMI systems) and leveraging instrumentation data or Industry 4.0 technologies (such as IIoT sensors, asset monitoring platforms, and data analytics) for health monitoring and reliability insights.
