About the Role

The Electrical Reliability Engineer will drive asset reliability, optimize maintenance strategies, and improve long‑term equipment performance. You will develop and implement a 3‑year Reliability Improvement Plan, using advanced reliability tools to reduce risk, increase uptime, and eliminate low‑value maintenance activities.

Responsibilities

• Conduct equipment criticality screening and risk analysis to identify and prioritize critical assets and Balance of Plant (BOP) equipment.
• Develop and implement Asset Strategies aligned with equipment criticality and business objectives.
• Support execution of the 3‑year Reliability Improvement Plan, including asset availability tracking and performance improvement initiatives.
• Select and implement appropriate Risk Management and Failure Management Strategies, developing Equipment Maintenance Strategies (EMS) for critical and BOP equipment.
• Partner with the PPM Coordinator to optimize Preventive Maintenance programs by evaluating effectiveness, eliminating low‑value PM activities, and incorporating vendor data, RCM methodologies, and historical performance trends.
• Ensure proper inclusion of maintenance requirements for spare parts and stored equipment to maintain asset integrity during storage.
• Evaluate and implement condition monitoring technologies (e.g., predictive maintenance tools) to enhance asset performance and reliability.
• Maintain accurate documentation of maintenance and inspection data within CMMS systems to enable data‑driven decision making.
• Monitor and analyze asset reliability metrics, including maintenance history, PPM performance, RCA outcomes, and production loss data.
• Identify and prioritize reliability improvement opportunities using cost and performance data.
• Facilitate Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) studies using tools such as Weibull analysis and FMEA.
• Implement effective corrective actions and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Provide reliability and maintenance input for capital projects, including equipment selection, design reviews, BOM development, and PM strategies.
• Ensure new equipment is properly integrated into reliability systems, maintenance strategies, and site processes prior to startup.
• Conduct gap analyses between Asset Reliability Plans, EMS, and PPM programs to identify improvement opportunities.
• Optimize maintenance strategies by eliminating low‑value work while maintaining risk control across safety, production, and cost considerations.
• Lead or support facility audits and equipment inspections to proactively prevent asset deterioration.
• Partner with the PPM Coordinator to optimize spare parts inventory and equipment availability.
• Champion the use of Management of Change (MOC) for all equipment and process modifications.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical Engineering preferred).
• 5+ years of experience as a maintenance, reliability, or project engineer within a chemical manufacturing environment.
• Proven experience leading cross‑functional teams and driving reliability initiatives.
• Strong knowledge of electrical codes and standards, including NFPA‑NEC and NETA (or similar).
• Experience with equipment condition monitoring techniques, such as infrared thermography, oil analysis, and motor circuit analysis.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and data‑driven decision‑making skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt.
• Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE).

Work Environment

• On‑site work within a chemical manufacturing facility, using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Collaboration with Maintenance, Reliability, Engineering, and Operations teams.
• Utilization of CMMS systems, reliability tools, and data‑analytics platforms.
• Participation in site audits, reliability initiatives, and continuous‑improvement programs.
• Operation within strict safety, regulatory, and operational‑excellence standards.

Benefits

• Competitive salary with performance‑based bonus opportunities.
• 401(k) match plus Age‑Weighted Defined Contribution.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Health Savings Account (HSA).
• Paid holidays, vacation, and parental leave.
• Flexible work environment.
• Learning and development opportunities.
• Career and professional growth pathways.
• Inclusive culture and community engagement.
