**Purpose and Scope**

The Reliability Engineer plays a crucial role in ensuring the optimal performance, availability, and lifespan of assets. The purpose of this role is to develop and implement strategies to improve reliability, reduce downtime, and enhance asset performance. The Reliability Engineer works closely with cross-functional teams to analyze data, identify failure modes, and implement proactive maintenance practices.

**Key Roles and Responsibilities**
- Conducting Reliability Analysis: Perform data analysis, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), and root cause analysis to identify potential failures, their impact, and underlying causes.
- Developing Maintenance Strategies: Collaborate with maintenance teams to develop and implement preventive maintenance plans, condition-based monitoring programs, and reliability-cantered maintenance (RCM) strategies.
- Implementing Asset Performance Metrics: Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as mean time between failures (MTBF), mean time to repair (MTTR), and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) to assess asset reliability and measure improvements.
- Driving Continuous Improvement: Continuously monitor asset performance, identify opportunities for improvement, and develop and implement reliability improvement initiatives.
- Providing Technical Expertise: Offer technical guidance and support to maintenance teams, operators, and other stakeholders in optimizing asset reliability and performance.
- Collaborating with Cross-functional Teams: Work closely with operations, maintenance, engineering, and procurement teams to ensure alignment and coordination in achieving reliability goals.

**Major Challenges**
- Change Management: Overcoming resistance to change and driving a culture of proactive asset management.
- Data Quality and Availability: Dealing with data challenges, such as inconsistent or incomplete data, and establishing robust data collection processes.
- Resource Allocation: Balancing maintenance resources and budgets to optimize reliability improvements while considering competing priorities.
- Technical Complexity: Managing the complexity of diverse assets and their unique failure modes, requiring deep technical knowledge and expertise

**Qualifications & Experience**
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related field (Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, etc.).
- Proven experience (3-5 years) in reliability engineering or a similar role in an industrial or manufacturing setting.
- Knowledge of reliability methodologies, including FMEA, RCM, and condition-based maintenance.
- Familiarity with relevant industry standards and best practices.

**Skills/competencies & Preferred Characteristics**
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to assess complex systems, identify failure patterns, and implement effective solutions.
- Proficiency in data analysis and statistical techniques to interpret asset performance data.
- Solid understanding of maintenance strategies and practices, including preventive and predictive maintenance.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams and stakeholders
- Proactive and self-motivated individual with a passion for continuous improvement and achieving reliability excellence.
- Ability to adapt to changing priorities and work in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong project management skills to lead reliability improvement initiatives.
- Certifications in reliability engineering or related fields (e.g., Certified Reliability Engineer, Six Sigma) is a plus
