The position improves equipment uptime and manufacturing performance by developing preventive and predictive maintenance strategies, leading root cause failure analysis, strengthening calibration and asset-management processes, and supporting safe execution of maintenance, outage, and capital work.\nThis role combines hands-on troubleshooting, reliability engineering, field execution, cross-functional collaboration, and continuous improvement. The Reliability Engineer serves as a technical resource to Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, EHS, Quality, contractors, and equipment suppliers and may provide day-to-day direction, coaching, or supervision to technicians and other maintenance resources as assigned.\nJOB RESPONSIBILITIES:\nAsset Reliability and Maintenance Strategy\nDevelop, implement, and continuously improve preventive and predictive maintenance programs for mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, automation, and utility assets.\n\nAnalyze equipment history, failure modes, work-order data, condition-monitoring results, and production losses to identify reliability risks and improvement priorities.\n\nLead or participate in Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) for significant equipment failures, recurring defects, process interruptions, and reliability events; establish and track corrective actions.\n\nDevelop equipment strategies, performance expectations, standards, procedures, inspection frequencies, and acceptance criteria based on risk, operating context, and manufacturer recommendations.\n\nPartner with planners, schedulers, technicians, Operations, and contractors to improve job plans, maintenance execution, backlog quality, spare-parts readiness, and overall equipment effectiveness.\n\nSupport planning and execution of production-line outages, sitewide outages, turnarounds, and other high-risk maintenance activities.\n\nIdentify bad actors and obsolete or high-risk equipment; recommend repair, redesign, replacement, or capital investment solutions.\n\nElectrical, Instrumentation, and Automation Reliability\nProvide technical support for complex electrical, instrumentation, motor, variable frequency drive (VFD), control-valve, actuator, PLC, HMI, and plant automation issues.\n\nSupport diagnosis, repair, specification, installation, commissioning, and performance monitoring of plant control and automation systems.\n\nEnsure appropriate application of intrinsic-safety and explosion-proof classifications and support compliance with NFPA 70E, the National Electrical Code (NEC), local requirements, and company procedures.\n\nDevelop, maintain, and improve the plant calibration program for field instruments and critical process-control devices.\n\nMaintain accurate P&IDs, wiring diagrams, instrument loop drawings, equipment records, tags, specifications, and related technical documentation.\n\nReview and support electrical and control-system installations, construction activities, and project commissioning as assigned.\n\nEngineering and Technical Support\nProvide technical expertise for chemical manufacturing processes, production equipment, industrial utilities, and plant systems.\n\nSupport troubleshooting of process, equipment, and utility performance issues to minimize downtime and restore safe, stable operation.\n\nEvaluate and recommend process or equipment improvements that enhance safety, quality, reliability, productivity, energy performance, and cost.\n\nParticipate in process design reviews, technical risk assessments, equipment selection, and review of engineering drawings, specifications, calculations, and vendor documentation.\n\nEnsure designs and equipment applications comply with applicable codes, standards, regulatory requirements, and company engineering practices.\n\nSupport capital projects from scope development through installation, startup, documentation, and transition to maintenance ownership.\n\nCMMS, Metrics, and Reliability Systems\nUse the computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) to support asset hierarchy, work-order quality, job plans, preventive maintenance, equipment history, planning, scheduling, and work execution.\n\nDevelop, track, analyze, and communicate reliability and maintenance key performance indicators, including equipment availability, downtime, recurring failures, preventive-maintenance compliance, corrective-action closure, and other site measures.\n\nAudit maintenance and reliability processes, document findings, identify gaps, and establish corrective action plans.\n\nImprove technical data quality, asset records, drawings, spare-parts information, and maintenance documentation.\n\nSafety, Environmental & Regulatory Compliance\nChampion a strong safety culture and comply with all plant safety policies, procedures, and regulatory requirements.\n\nParticipate in PSM activities, including Management of Change (MOC), Process Hazard Analyses (PHA), Pre-Startup Safety Reviews (PSSR), mechanical-integrity activities, and resolution of assigned action items.\n\nSupport contractor safety management and safe execution of maintenance, outage, construction, and project work.\n\nParticipate in safety audits, observations, hazard identification, incident investigations, safety projects, and required annual training.\n\nUnderstand and support the Responsible Care Management System (RC-14001), including efforts to minimize waste, prevent pollution, conserve energy, and improve environmental, health, safety, security, and Responsible Care performance.\n\nUnderstand and comply with applicable quality policies, standard operating procedures, ISO requirements, and company policies.\n\nContinuous Improvement\nDrive continuous improvement initiatives focused on process efficiency, asset reliability, energy reduction, waste minimization, and sustainability.\n\nUtilize Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Root Cause Analysis, and Reliability Excellence methodologies where applicable.\n\nIdentify and evaluate emerging technologies, condition-monitoring tools, equipment upgrades, and industry practices that can improve manufacturing performance.\n\nLeadership & Collaboration\nServe as a mentor and technical resource for engineers, technicians, and operations personnel.\n\nCoordinate with Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, EHS, Quality, suppliers, engineering firms, contractors, and consultants to resolve problems and implement sustainable improvements.\n\nLead cross-functional reliability projects and communicate scope,
