Some of your key responsibilities include:
Establishing and driving reliability engineering principles and best work practices
Establishing equipment performance expectations and measuring overall equipment performance
Apply appropriate reliability tools to drive improvements, optimize costs and improve asset effectiveness. Tools may include RCFA, Bad Actor Program, FMEA, RCM, etc.
Monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and metrics for proactive identification and resolution of reliability issues
Optimizing preventative maintenance tasks and activities, identifying gaps and developing a corrective actions plan, driving implementation and evaluating improvement performance
Coordinating, directing and overseeing major overhauls as well as quality/precision repairs to critical rotating equipment for various production units, often at multiple/concurrent timeframes
Develop a multi-year reliability improvement plan; lead execution of the plan and monitor progress
Leading reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) teams on supported units in order to identify problem areas, repeat failures, unsafe/poor performers and potential improvement areas; driving corrective actions and evaluating improvement results, clearly and effectively communicating to key stakeholders through process
Troubleshoot equipment problems and conduct root cause failure analysis investigations on failed equipment, develop action plan to eliminate repeat failures, and implement corrective actions
Working with production to identify key areas for reliability improvements, develop action plan, and work to integrate the Bad Actor program with the OEE process to drive higher asset availability.
Support capital projects with engineering expertise for specification, design and construction of projects in accordance with plant requirements, company standards and regulatory codes
