Reliability Engineer

The Reliability Engineer is responsible for ensuring the optimal performance, longevity, and safety of equipment, systems, and processes at the facilities through the application of reliability engineering principles. This role is centered on minimizing unplanned downtime, reducing lifecycle maintenance costs, and enhancing asset integrity by means of proactive analysis, data-driven decision-making, and continuous improvement. Key areas of focus include failure mode identification, root cause analysis, development of preventive and predictive maintenance strategies, lifecycle cost evaluation, and technical guidance to the maintenance and operations teams. The Reliability Engineer works in close collaboration with the Maintenance Manager, Maintenance Supervisor, and Planner/Scheduler to continuously improve asset performance and maintenance effectiveness.
