Sr. Electrical Reliability Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the creation, execution, and optimization of electrical reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) programs, including failure mode analysis, criticality assessments, and maintenance strategy development.
• Provide advanced technical expertise for troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of electrical equipment failures, ensuring sustainable corrective and preventive actions.
• Develop and maintain electrical asset health models, predictive maintenance technologies, and condition-based monitoring programs (infrared thermography, partial discharge testing, motor circuit analysis, etc.).
• Oversee reliability improvements for electrical distribution systems, including switchgear, transformers, MCCs, drives, motors, and protective relaying.
• Collaborate with operations, maintenance, and engineering teams to strengthen reliability culture and ensure alignment with plant goals.
• Lead or support capital projects related to electrical infrastructure upgrades, equipment replacements, and reliability enhancements.
• Maintain and improve electrical equipment standards, maintenance procedures, and documentation.
• Analyze equipment performance data to identify trends, prioritize improvements, and recommend long-term reliability strategies.
• Ensure compliance with electrical safety standards (NFPA 70E, NEC, OSHA) and champion safe work practices.
• Mentor junior engineers, technicians, and maintenance personnel in electrical reliability best practices.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Electrical Engineering, Electrical Technology, or a related 2-year technical degree, with 5+ years of experience working with electrical systems in an industrial manufacturing environment.
• Candidates with a related 2-year technical degree and 5+ years of relevant experience may also be considered.
• Strong background in electrical reliability, maintenance engineering, or industrial electrical systems.
• Demonstrated experience with reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) methodologies.
• Proficiency with electrical distribution systems, motors, drives, and protective relays.
• Experience with predictive and condition-based monitoring technologies.
• Strong analytical, communication, and cross-functional leadership skills.
• Professional certifications such as CMRP or CRE preferred.

Preferred Experience

• Experience in heavy industrial, manufacturing, pulp & paper, chemical, or similar environments.
• Familiarity with digital reliability tools or asset management systems (EAM/CMMS platforms).
• Experience with arc-flash studies, power system analysis, and electrical system modeling software.
