Maintenance Reliability Engineer

About the role

Responsible for supporting all efforts in the execution of site mechanical reliability excellence and maintenance programs to increase mechanical/facility system reliability and compliance. The role ensures the highest level of professionalism while meeting client needs and achieving 100% uptime for mechanical HVAC systems. Responsibilities include protecting and improving the value of client assets and ensuring building systems perform their intended functions.

Responsibilities

• Inspect, document, and prioritize asset conditions to evaluate remaining useful life; compile findings into detailed reports and databases for client capital planning and lifecycle management.
• Establish and monitor maintenance and reliability metrics across sites, including planned/unplanned work ratios, planning/scheduling efficiency, cost tracking, MTBF, and replacement asset values.
• Conduct reliability studies and create risk mitigation strategies for critical assets, utilizing drawings, schematics, and technical documentation.
• Maintain accurate records in CMMS for equipment specifications, BOMs, failure history, and optimize preventative maintenance tasks for continuous improvement.
• Identify and resolve chronic equipment failures through systematic continuous improvement processes and investigation of new reliability-enhancing technologies.
• Rank asset criticality using Reliability Centered Maintenance approaches and define cost-beneficial proactive maintenance strategies for moving and rotating equipment (pumps, motors, gearboxes, conveyors).
• Lead root cause analysis for operational events and equipment failures, prescribe corrective actions, and conduct follow-up monitoring to verify effectiveness.
• Perform periodic audits focused on safety, regulatory compliance, maintenance effectiveness, cost savings, and energy conservation.
• Support commissioning activities for upgrade, renovation, and construction projects, including PM job plan development, maintainability reviews, and critical spares identification.
• Maintain infrastructure and compliance documentation (building drawings, single lines, regulatory records) and ensure Critical Facility Work Authorization processes (permits, JHAs, LOTO procedures) are understood by all stakeholders while developing equipment reliability KPIs.

Requirements

• BS in an Engineering discipline or equivalent.
• 5 years of related maintenance reliability engineering experience, project engineering, and/or training associated with pharmaceutical equipment and systems.
• Experience with Root Cause Analysis, Equipment Criticality Ranking, PM/PdM optimization, Defect Elimination, and/or Failure Modes and Effects Analysis.
• Experience with predictive maintenance technologies including vibration analysis, oil analysis, infrared thermography, ultrasound, and motor current analysis.
• Extensive mechanical and electrical knowledge of commercial/critical/pharmaceutical manufacturing/labs/distribution facilities.
• Demonstrated technical expertise in facility-related systems.
• Proven record of excellent internal and external customer service and strong interpersonal skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Certified Reliability Leader or Certified Maintenance Reliability Professional.
• Infor/EAM CMMS experience.
