Key Responsibilities

Asset Reliability & Engineering

• Lead deployment of reliability tools including Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA), Root Cause Analysis (RCA), and Preventive Maintenance Optimization (PMO)
• Conduct bad actor analysis, asset criticality reviews, and strategy development for high-priority equipment
• Partner with maintenance and engineering teams to reduce unplanned downtime and extend asset life
• Develop asset management plans, including preventive maintenance, spare parts, and service strategies.
  
  

OEE Performance Support

• Act as a key technical resource in improving OEE performance at site and regional levels
• Use OEE data to identify chronic losses (availability, performance, quality) caused by equipment design, condition, or maintenance strategy
• Partner with operations, planners, and the systems team to validate root causes and drive equipment-level corrective actions
• Participate in OEE improvement projects, focused on eliminating top loss categories linked to reliability
• Ensure that downtime tracking, loss classification, and bad actor programs are technically sound and aligned with corporate standards
  
  

Coaching & Capability Building

• Mentor site reliability and maintenance resources in applying reliability principles and tools
• Support the deployment of training related to PM optimization, failure analysis, and reliability-centered maintenance
• Facilitate cross-site knowledge sharing on equipment-specific learnings and successful reliability practices
  
  

Program Implementation & Support

• Support rollout of reliability initiatives and standards within the region
• Partner with the Global Reliability Engineering Leader to align site activities with strategic priorities
• Assist in the implementation of Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM), Predictive Maintenance (PdM), and precision maintenance programs
  
  

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work with site maintenance, production, EHS, and engineering teams to align asset strategies with safety, cost, and performance goals
• Collaborate with Maintenance Specialists to ensure reliability data is reflected in work order history and condition monitoring systems
• Provide reliability input during equipment upgrades, redesigns, or major capital investments
  
  

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (or related technical discipline). Mechanical Engineering preferred.
• Fluent English is a requirement
• +5 years of experience in reliability, maintenance, or operations roles within manufacturing or industrial environments.
• Strong knowledge of reliability methodologies (RCM, FMEA, RCA, Weibull), PM program design, and equipment performance metrics
• Experience applying statistics and statistical analysis techniques to support problem-solving, performance monitoring, and reliability improvement efforts.
• Familiarity with OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) frameworks and production loss analysis
• Working knowledge of CMMS platforms and PdM tools (vibration, ultrasound, oil analysis, etc.)
• CMRP, CRE, or equivalent certification preferred
• Excellent communication, facilitation, and data analysis skills
• Multisite or regional support experience preferred
  
  

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• % reduction in chronic equipment failures
• MTBF / MTTR trends for targeted equipment
• % of OEE losses addressed through reliability-led actions
• Completion and effectiveness of RCAs and PM optimizations
• Site capability development and tool adoption rates
