Senior Maintenance Reliability Engineer

Principal and Essential Duties & Responsibilities

• Responsible for the implementation of reliability concepts including development of Root Cause Analysis, Reliability Centered Maintenance, Predictive Maintenance technologies and Preventive Maintenance development/optimization to achieve high levels of availability of plants assets
• Driving increased production and uptime using reliability tools and processes, including Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA), and Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA).
• Provide technical and engineering support and troubleshooting advice to maintenance and various operational areas.
• Subject Matter Expert in the design and operation of rotating equipment, development of equipment strategies (including lubrications, conditions monitoring, and preventive maintenance), and management of mechanical integrity (including tanks, pressure vessels, and piping).
• Develop and implement plans for continuous improvement of production equipment, processes, and process controls.
• Work closely with both operations and maintenance in the development of long-term equipment maintenance strategies and operator basic care (OBC) as well as support troubleshooting efforts through formal Root Cause Analysis (RCA).
• Provide technical expertise to the site with field application of precision maintenance techniques.
• Deliver a strategic reliability-centered maintenance approach to optimizing asset life and productivity through documented asset strategies.
• Mine data to identify reliability improvement opportunities and develop corrective actions focused on delivering Net Hours improvement and cost reduction.
• Develop engineering solutions to repetitive failures and all other problems that adversely affect plant operations.

Minimum Education

• Bachelor’s Degree in Reliability, Mechanical or Electrical in Engineering; Advanced degree in this or related field is highly desirable.
