Maintenance & Reliability Engineer II

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "Your Responsibilities" then description. There's also "Salary" section, "Equipment Reliability & Preventive Maintenance", "Condition Monitoring & Predictive Maintenance", "Maintenance & Cross-Functional Support", "Qualifications", "Preferred Qualifications", "These Are Your Benefits". Also there is mention of "FUCHS offers an excellent compensation package and comprehensive benefits..." but no specific benefits listed. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. We have salary: "Salary Fuchs offers a competitive salary commensurate with experience in a similar position. The salary range for this position is $90,000 to $99,000 per year, but actual salary will vary depending upon a new hire’s experience and qualifications as well as internal equity." That's specific numbers, so we can include Pay section with that content. Benefits: "These Are Your Benefits FUCHS offers an excellent compensation package and comprehensive benefits, along with opportunities to expand your experience and develop professionally in a global organization." That's vague, no specific benefits listed. According to rule, we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them (specific). Since it's just generic statement, we should omit Benefits section. Schedule: not mentioned, omit. We need headings: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The posting includes "Your Responsibilities" which we can map to Responsibilities heading. Also there are sub-sections: Equipment Reliability & Preventive Maintenance, Condition Monitoring & Predictive Maintenance, Maintenance & Cross-Functional Support. Those could be under Responsibilities as subheadings? But we only allowed headings

for section headings; we could still use

for each of those sub-sections as they are substantive. However the instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests those are examples, not exclusive list. We can use

for any section heading we need, as long as it's a heading. Probably we should use

for each major block: Responsibilities, then sub-sections maybe as

? But only

allowed? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but to be safe we stick to

for each section we output. We could combine sub-sections under Responsibilities as paragraphs or lists. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities we can list bullet points. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. At end there is EEO statement: "FUCHS Lubricants Co. is an equal employment opportunity (EEO)/AA employer and strongly supports diversity in the workplace (m/f/d/v)." That's boilerplate, remove. Also "These Are Your Benefits" we decided to omit because not specific. But we might keep the sentence about compensation package? It's vague; better to omit Benefits section entirely. We need to include Pay section with salary details. We need Qualifications section: includes required qualifications and preferred qualifications. We'll have Qualifications heading with required, then maybe Preferred Qualifications as subheading? Could also make separate Skills? But we can include both under Qualifications using paragraphs and lists. We must not repeat the job title as a heading. No job title given explicitly; ignore. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present. Now craft HTML. Structure:

  Responsibilities

  The Maintenance & Reliability Engineer II applies engineering principles, equipment and maintenance data, structured problem-solving, and reliability methods to improve the availability, maintainability, and useful life of manufacturing and facility assets. The role is focused on preventing failures, reducing repeat breakdowns, improving preventive-maintenance effectiveness, and helping the site obtain reliable performance from existing equipment and maintenance resources. The engineer works closely with Maintenance, Operations, Equipment Engineering, Process Engineering, Facilities, Quality, EHS, Automation, and other plant functions. This is a hands-on plant engineering role requiring regular floor presence, direct collaboration with maintenance technicians and production employees, and the ability to independently carry assigned reliability investigations and improvement projects from problem definition through implementation and effectiveness verification.

  Then we could have sub-sections as

  each? But maybe better to keep as

  list of duties. However the posting has detailed paragraphs under each sub-heading. We could convert each bullet to
  • but that would lose some nuance. The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should turn the duties into a list. But we also have prose paragraphs that describe the role; we can keep those as

      then a

      for specific duties. Let's extract duties from the sub-sections: Equipment Reliability & Preventive Maintenance: - Analyze CMMS data, work-order history, downtime, repeat failures, equipment-performance trends, and maintenance costs to identify recurring problems, reliability risks, and improvement opportunities. - Establish, implement, and sustain a Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) system aligned with applicable ISO management-system requirements and site reliability goals by engaging Production Technicians, Maintenance, and Engineering personnel in the development, execution, and continuous improvement of TPM activities and standards. - Support prioritization of maintenance work orders and backlog based on equipment criticality, safety and quality risk, production impact, failure history, asset condition, and available maintenance resources. - Perform equipment criticality and failure-mode reviews and use the results to help prioritize preventive-maintenance strategies, engineering work, inspections, spare parts, and lifecycle needs. - Review and improve preventive-maintenance tasks, frequencies, job content, and condition-based maintenance activities using equipment history, failure modes, operating conditions, risk, and demonstrated effectiveness. - Lead assigned root-cause investigations using practical methods such as 5 Why, fishbone analysis, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), fault-tree analysis, and equipment-performance data. - Develop and implement practical engineered corrective actions, including component upgrades, equipment modifications, control changes, installation improvements, operating-limit changes, and maintenance-strategy changes. - Track and analyze reliability measures such as Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), equipment availability, repeat failures, preventive-maintenance compliance, planned-versus-reactive work, backlog health, and maintenance cost. - Support equipment lifecycle and obsolescence planning by using condition, failure history, maintenance cost, lead time, and business risk to develop technically justified recommendations for continued repair, modification, refurbishment, or replacement. Condition Monitoring & Predictive Maintenance: - Evaluate and apply appropriate condition-monitoring methods such as vibration, temperature, thermography, ultrasound, electrical-current monitoring, oil analysis, and other equipment-health indicators where they provide practical value. - Develop and use equipment-health trends, alert thresholds, dashboards, and monitoring approaches based on available maintenance, process, sensor, and operating data; verify findings against actual equipment condition. - Support evaluation and implementation of IIoT sensors, predictive-maintenance platforms, anomaly-detection tools, AI-enabled analytics, and vendor technologies where they can improve equipment reliability or maintenance decisions. - Translate condition-monitoring and predictive findings into prioritized inspections, planned work orders, engineered improvements, and measurable follow-up actions within the maintenance workflow. Maintenance & Cross-Functional Support: - Serve as a technical engineering resource and technical lead for Maintenance Technicians during complex troubleshooting, equipment repairs, recurring failures, major maintenance activities, and reliability improvements. - Provide engineering direction and technical support while working collaboratively with experienced maintenance personnel. - Develop technical scopes, engineering specifications, equipment or sensor requirements, acceptance criteria, drawings, procedures, and commissioning documentation for assigned reliability improvements and equipment modifications. - Develop spare-parts strategies, maintain technical documentation and equipment records, and support equipment lifecycle planning to maximize asset performance, maintainability, and reliability. - Provide technical support to Maintenance Technicians in identifying, specifying, quoting, and purchasing equipment parts required for repairs and inventory, including evaluating and specifying suitable replacement components when original parts are obsolete or no longer available. - Support equipment installations, modifications, capital projects, commissioning, qualification, design reviews, maintainability reviews, startup, and management-of-change activities, with emphasis on long-term reliability and maintainability. - Provide engineering input for complex maintenance job plans, shutdowns, equipment overhauls, contractor activities, and recurring breakdown issues so lessons learned are incorporated into future work and preventive strategies. - Identify practical, cost-effective reliability improvements and develop the technical basis for larger equipment repair, refurbishment, or capital-replacement needs when required. - Ensure assigned reliability and equipment improvements comply with applicable safety, quality, environmental, change-control, CAPA, qualification, cybersecurity, and ISO management-system requirements. - Communicate equipment risks, reliability findings, technical recommendations, and improvement results clearly, and support maintenance technicians and plant users in applying revised maintenance practices and reliability tools. Now Qualifications: Required: - Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Reliability Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline is required.
