Reliability & Maintenance Engineer

About the Role

Join an advanced technology manufacturer to build a maintenance and reliability program from the ground up for production/manufacturing equipment. This is a program-build role — you'll be establishing structure where it currently doesn't exist, not maintaining an already-mature system.

What You'll Be Doing

• Build a complete asset inventory/hierarchy across all identified equipment types on the production floor
• Define and implement appropriate PM strategies per asset type
• Achieve 100% BOM coverage across all identified asset types
• Design a criticality-based spare parts strategy — closing the current gap between what spares exist and what spares should exist
• Partner with production, engineering, and operations teams to validate asset data and prioritize based on operational impact

Core Requirements

• Background in industrial or continuous manufacturing (semiconductor, pharma/biotech, chemical, food & beverage, oil & gas/refining, paper, or similar high-uptime environments)
• Experience building or significantly maturing a Preventive Maintenance (PM) program — defining PM types (time-based, usage-based, condition-based) across varied asset types
• Experience with Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) or criticality analysis methodology — determining which assets/parts matter most and why
• Hands-on experience building or cleaning up asset hierarchies and Bills of Materials (BOMs)
• Experience developing a spare parts strategy — determining what spares should exist based on criticality, not just cataloging what's currently on the shelf
• Comfort working in a CMMS (SAP PM, Maximo, Fiix, UpKeep, eMaintenance, or similar)

Nice to Have

• Experience standing up a reliability/maintenance function in a greenfield or early-maturity environment
• Familiarity with manufacturing/production equipment specifically (vs. facilities-only maintenance)
