Sr Reliability Engineer

Main Responsibilities And Accountabilities

• Technical Lead for Equipment Reliability: Serve as the reliability leader within the organization, mentoring and coaching junior engineers and technicians on best practices in equipment reliability and mechanical integrity.
• Lead reliability improvement teams and collaborate with other departments (e.g., Operations, Maintenance, Engineering) to address equipment issues and improve overall plant reliability.
• Use reliability engineering tools like Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to analyze maintenance and integrity data trends.
• Promote a culture of reliability and continuous improvement through proactive leadership, problem-solving, and cross-departmental collaboration.
• Develop, implement, and maintain comprehensive maintenance strategies and mechanical integrity (MI) plans for plant equipment, including pressure vessels, piping, and rotating equipment.
• Continuously improve maintenance programs (PMs), Bill of Materials (BOMs), and spare parts inventories to ensure regulatory compliance.
• Collaborate with engineering teams on equipment classification, SAP location hierarchy, asset information population, and acquisition of equipment manuals

Reliability Analytics

• Utilize advanced data analysis, statistical modeling, and machine learning algorithms to analyze equipment performance data and predict potential failures.
• Develop predictive maintenance models to forecast equipment failures and implement proactive maintenance actions, minimizing unplanned downtime and extending equipment lifespan.
• Identify and implement opportunities for reliability and mechanical integrity improvement to enhance equipment uptime and performance.
• Develop Power BI dashboards to visualize reliability data and performance metrics, enabling better decision-making and communication of reliability improvements to stakeholders.

Mechanical Integrity And Inspection Programs

• Oversee mechanical integrity programs to ensure the safe and reliable operation of pressure vessels, piping systems, and rotating equipment.
• Implement and manage risk-based inspection (RBI) programs to ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements (API, ASME, OSHA).
• Recommend and implement improvements to ensure the effectiveness of maintenance and mechanical integrity programs.
• Ensure that all equipment meets mechanical integrity standards through regular inspections and the application of non-destructive testing (NDT) methods.

Management Of CMMS Data Integrity & Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM)

• Ensure CMMS data integrity to support preventive, predictive, and condition-based maintenance processes, including mechanical integrity requirements.
• Oversee maintenance planning processes and the evaluation of new predictive technologies.
• Lead the application of predictive maintenance (PdM) technologies and non-destructive testing (NDT) methods to minimize downtime and ensure the structural integrity of critical assets.

Predictive Maintenance Technologies

• Lead the application of predictive maintenance technologies to monitor and improve equipment reliability.
• Oversee the use of the following technologies for condition monitoring: Vibration Analysis, Ultrasound Scanning, Infrared Scanning, Oil Analysis, Eddy Current Liquid Penetrating Testing, Dynamic/Static Motor Current Testing.
• Use these tools to detect early signs of equipment degradation and take proactive maintenance actions to prevent unplanned downtime.

KPI Monitoring And Reporting

• Measure and report reliability and mechanical integrity performance metrics such as Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), equipment downtime, and maintenance costs.
• Develop performance reports and Power BI dashboards to showcase improvements in maintenance and mechanical integrity practices.

Audit And Compliance

• Act as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for internal and regulatory audits concerning equipment reliability, mechanical integrity, and maintenance.
• Ensure compliance with mechanical integrity standards such as API 510, 570, 653, ASME, and OSHA.

Continuous Improvement And Technical Expertise

• Continuously enhance knowledge in biopharmaceutical industry best practices, mechanical integrity, and problem-solving techniques.
• Promote CSL values: Customer Focus, Innovation, Integrity, Collaboration, and Superior Performance.

Health And Safety Compliance

• Ensure adherence to CSL Behring’s Safety Program, complying with OSHA and health and safety mandates, particularly in areas related to mechanical integrity.
