In this role, you will be the connecting force between long-term asset strategies and real-time production support, ensuring equipment runs at peak performance in a cGMP-regulated environment. Your work will remove bottlenecks, reduce waste, and raise asset health so our teams can make and deliver more life-changing therapies.\nBased at our Philadelphia site, you will partner closely with Facilities, Engineering, and Manufacturing to build a data-driven reliability program grounded in RCM, FMEA, and continuous improvement. You will apply root cause analysis and Lean methods to fix today’s issues and prevent tomorrow’s failures. How will you use your expertise to lift uptime, quality, and speed across a complex, high-impact manufacturing operation?\nAccountabilities\nMaintenance Performance Reviews: Create and maintain monthly reviews of site maintenance metrics to assess effectiveness and efficiency with Facilities and Engineering, driving decisions that improve uptime and compliance.\nKPI-Driven Improvement: Define and track KPIs, identify gaps, and implement targeted improvements that enhance equipment availability, mean time between failures, and maintenance productivity.\nRoot Cause Analysis and Corrective Actions: Investigate equipment failures using RCA tools such as 5-Why and Why-Tree; lead timely corrective and preventive actions that eliminate recurrence and protect batch integrity.\nProject Leadership and Delivery: Manage and execute projects end-to-end, including scope definition and control, stakeholder alignment, planning, resource and risk management, team development, and clear communication to deliver results on time and within budget.\nAsset Lifecycle Management: Apply a risk-based approach to the lifecycle management of critical systems and equipment, balancing reliability, cost, and compliance to extend asset life and performance.\nRisk Mitigation and Validation: Plan and implement risk mitigation strategies; ensure project quality through testing and validation activities; facilitate cross-functional teams to conclusions, resolve conflicts, and embed sustainable solutions.\nPreventive and Predictive Maintenance: Manage and optimize preventive and predictive maintenance programs by systematically defining, developing, monitoring, and refining processes to reduce unplanned downtime.\nPredictive Technologies: Utilize and, where appropriate, gain training and certification in thermography, vibration analysis, and ultrasonic testing to detect early failure modes and inform interventions.\nEscalation and Contingency Planning: Escalate risks and issues to relevant stakeholders; lead delivery of mitigations and contingency plans that protect safety, product quality, and supply continuity.\nCommunication and Collaboration: Provide timely and effective verbal and written communication to teams and stakeholders; engage Manufacturing and site partners to align priorities and drive outcomes.\n Compliance and Standards: Conduct activities consistent with company values, the Code of Conduct, and applicable policies and standards; complete required training on time and report potential non-compliance.\nEssential Skills and Experience\n3+ to 5+ years of Reliability Engineering experience in the pharmaceutical/biotechnology, nuclear, or petrochemical industry.\nHigh school diploma\nExperience in leading and working on cross-functional teams supporting technical projects.\nDesirable Skills and Experience\nGreen Belt and Lean experience preferred; risk assessment experience is a plus.\nBachelor's degree in Engineering or a related technical field\nTraining and certification, as appropriate, in the operation of thermographic (infrared) cameras and equipment, vibration analysis equipment, and ultrasonic equipment.\nWorking at AstraZeneca\nWhen we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash bold thinking with the power to inspire life-changing medicines. In-person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace and challenge perceptions. That's why we work, on average, a minimum of three days per week from the office. But that doesn't mean we're not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual flexibility. Join us in our unique and ambitious world.\nWhy AstraZeneca?\nHere you will join a supportive, high-performing network that blends disciplined execution with creative problem solving to turn complex science into real medicines for patients. We bring together diverse expertise, modern digital tools, and Lean ways of working to build smarter, more sustainable manufacturing. You will be trusted to take ownership, encouraged to learn fast, and surrounded by people who value kindness alongside ambition, where your reliability improvements can scale across sites, help reduce our environmental footprint, and directly contribute to getting therapies to those who need them sooner.\nApply Today\nIf you are ready to raise the bar on asset reliability and see your ideas translate into safer, faster delivery of medicines, step forward and shape what’s possible with us!\nDate Posted\n07-oct-2026Closing Date\n22-oct-2026Our mission is to build an inclusive environment where equal employment opportunities are available to all applicants and employees.
