TL;DR · Reliability Engineer

The Reliability Engineer is responsible for driving continuous equipment and utilities systems reliability improvements by providing technical support and managing site reliability improvement processes to reduce business risk. This role leads the Maintenance Excellence Program, where you will collaborate with Facilities, Engineering, and Maintenance Planning teams to implement best practices for asset management and operational efficiency. You will develop engineering solutions for repetitive failures, perform root cause failure analysis using metrics like MTBF and OEE, and manage the critical asset register. Key responsibilities include creating predictive maintenance tasks, overseeing Life Cycle Asset Management, and ensuring reliability for production, utility, and safety systems. The role requires a Bachelor of Science in Chemical or Mechanical Engineering and proficiency in Computer-based Maintenance Management systems like MAXIMO. Experience with Six Sigma methodology is beneficial for solving complex technical problems within the pharmaceutical manufacturing environment.

What you'll do

  • Lead the Maintenance Excellence Program (MEP) by targeting critical assets for optimization and training personnel on reliability processes.
  • Develop engineering solutions to address repetitive failures and reduce the frequency of system failures.
  • Analyze failure history to determine reliability characteristics and develop long-term solutions for recurring issues.
  • Create and enforce Asset Operations and Maintenance Plans to ensure optimal utilization and maintenance of all plant assets.
  • Conduct root cause failure analysis (RCFA) using metrics like MTBF, OEE, and asset utilization data.
  • Develop preventative maintenance tasks and determine the most effective predictive and nondestructive testing methods.
  • Review maintenance plans for new equipment to provide reliability specifications during design, installation, and commissioning.
  • Implement predictive maintenance programs and telemetry sensor technology to influence capital planning and long-range planning.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical or Mechanical Engineering.
  • Five or more years of relevant work experience in the Reliability Engineering field.
  • Experience in the cGMP or pharmaceutical industry (preferred).
  • Proficiency in Computer-based Maintenance Management systems such as MAXIMO.
  • Demonstrated experience with Six Sigma methodology (preferred).
  • Strong verbal and written communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to perform root cause failure analysis using metrics like MTBF and OEE.
  • Commitment to quality, integrity, and maintaining high standards of work.
