Regional Reliability Innovation Specialist

Job Overview

The Regional Reliability Engineer is a key member of the manufacturing team, responsible for driving reliability improvement initiatives across various sites within their assigned region.

Main Responsibilities

• Lead the deployment of advanced reliability tools, including Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA), Root Cause Analysis (RCA), and Predictive Maintenance Optimization (PMO).
• Conduct in-depth analysis of equipment performance, identifying areas for improvement and developing strategies to address them.
• Partner with maintenance and engineering teams to reduce unplanned downtime and extend asset life, ensuring optimal production efficiency.
• Develop comprehensive asset management plans, incorporating preventive maintenance, spare parts, and service strategies to minimize losses.

Reliability Excellence

• Act as a trusted technical resource, providing expert guidance on improving Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) at site and regional levels.
• Utilize OEE data to pinpoint chronic losses caused by equipment design, condition, or maintenance strategy, and develop targeted corrective actions.
• Collaborate with operations, planners, and systems teams to validate root causes and drive equipment-level improvements.
• Participate in OEE enhancement projects focused on eliminating top loss categories linked to reliability, ensuring sustained business growth.

Capacity Development

• Mentor site reliability and maintenance resources in applying advanced reliability principles and tools, promoting knowledge sharing and skill development.
• Support the deployment of training programs related to PM optimization, failure analysis, and reliability-centered maintenance, enhancing team capabilities.
• Facilitate cross-site knowledge sharing on equipment-specific learnings and successful reliability practices, fostering a culture of excellence.

Program Implementation & Support

• Assist in the rollout of reliability initiatives and standards within the region, ensuring seamless integration and adoption.
• Partner with the Global Reliability Engineering Leader to align site activities with strategic priorities, guaranteeing alignment and focus.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to implement Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM), Predictive Maintenance (PdM), and precision maintenance programs, maximizing efficiency and effectiveness.

Qualifications & Skills

• 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 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.
