Alternate Titles : Network Reliability Engineer | Plant Reliability Engineer | Maintenance & Reliability Engineer

The Reliability Engineer is an individual contributor on a centralized reliability team supporting a network of small manufacturing plants across North America. This role drives the transition from reactive maintenance to a proactive, data-driven reliability culture by leading bad actor elimination, root cause analysis, and preventive/predictive maintenance improvement across multiple sites.

This position directly contributes to reduced unplanned downtime and improved asset performance by identifying the top failure drivers at each site, facilitating root cause analysis, and embedding sustainable reliability practices into the maintenance work management process. The Reliability Engineer serves as a key point of technical leadership and cross-site learning — replicating proven solutions across the plant network to prevent recurring failures and closing the loop between reliability data and executed work.

• Pull and review downtime, failure, and repeat-work data from each site to identify the top 3–5 bad actors by highest loss or repeat failure
• Focus reliability efforts on the largest sources of unplanned downtime, transitioning sites from reactive to controlled, planned maintenance
• Monitor the effectiveness of corrective actions and system modifications to confirm sustained reliability improvement

Lead Asset Criticality Assessment & Ranking

• Establish and maintain an asset criticality register across the plant network, ranking equipment by the safety, environmental, operational, and financial consequences of failure
• Facilitate cross-functional criticality workshops with site operations, maintenance, and HSE to calibrate rankings and ensure a consistent, defensible standard across all sites
• Use criticality rankings to prioritize maintenance strategy, PM coverage, spare parts stocking, and bad actor focus — directing limited central resources to the highest-consequence assets first
• Periodically review and update criticality rankings as equipment, processes, and failure data change

Lead Root Cause Analysis & Failure Elimination

• Lead or facilitate lightweight root cause analysis (RCA) for top bad actors and recurring failures
• Determine the failure mode — design, operation, maintenance practice, or PM gap — and develop lasting corrective actions
• Conduct Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to proactively identify and mitigate potential equipment failures before they occur

Develop Preventive & Predictive Maintenance Strategies

• Audit PM compliance and lubrication routes per site; flag gaps and update PM frequencies based on failure data
• Lead lubrication excellence initiatives including lubrication strategy development, route optimization, contamination control, lubricant selection, storage and handling standards, lubrication PM optimization, and lubrication KPI tracking.
• Apply predictive and condition-based maintenance techniques (e.g., vibration analysis, thermal imaging, ultrasonic testing) to anticipate failures and extend asset life
• Apply Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) principles to determine the optimal maintenance strategy for critical assets

Translate Reliability Actions into Executable Work

• Assign corrective actions to the Site Reliability Owner or Local Work Owner and enter PM changes and job plan updates into the CMMS
• Feed bad actor corrective actions into the weekly scheduling backlog to close the loop from data to execution
• Maintain reliability data quality in the CMMS — asset hierarchy, failure codes, and work-order history — so criticality, bad actor, and KPI analysis rest on accurate data
• Participate in weekly planning and scheduling reviews to ensure reliability actions, bad actor corrective work, PM improvements, and failure elimination activities are properly prioritized, planned, and scheduled for execution.
• Share repeat failure patterns across the plant network and replicate proven solutions to prevent recurrence at other sites
• Apply reliability engineering principles and best practices consistently across sites, projects, and processes
• Support standardization of reliability processes, tools, and the monthly reliability cadence across the network

Build Site Reliability Capability & Culture

• Train and coach Site Reliability Owners, Local Work Owners, and technicians on reliability fundamentals — defect identification, basic equipment care, and quality failure reporting — building lasting capability at each site
• Champion the shift from reactive to proactive reliability, reinforcing planned-over-reactive work and data-driven decision-making across the network
• Promote operator-driven reliability and basic-care routines so frontline teams catch early warning signs before they become failures

Track Performance & Report Results

• Monitor key reliability KPIs — Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), asset availability, planned vs. reactive work ratio, and repeat failure rate per site
• Apply statistical and life-data analysis (e.g., Pareto and Weibull) to quantify failure risk, set maintenance intervals, and prioritize improvement effort
• Report reliability trends and improvement results to Maintenance Managers and Corporate Leadership
• Establish and maintain data and records for tracking performance failures and improvement measures

Support Asset Lifecycle & Continuous Improvement

• Support asset lifecycle management and life-cycle cost analysis to guide repair, replace, or redesign decisions
• Analyze maintenance data to optimize spare parts inventory for critical components while controlling cost
• Apply design-for-reliability principles to new installations and equipment modifications — setting reliability and maintainability specifications, supporting commissioning, and providing reliability input to the Management of Change (MOC) process
• Ensure reliability activities align with site safety, environmental, and regulatory standards

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, or a related Engineering discipline (or equivalent technical experience)
• Experience in reliability, maintenance, or engineering within an industrial or manufacturing environment
• Working knowledge of reliability methodologies — root cause analysis (RCA), FMEA, and preventive and predictive maintenance
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret failure and downtime data
• Strong communication and collaboration skills to work effectively across multiple sites and functions
• Willingness to travel across the plant network as required

Preferred Qualifications

• Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional (CMRP) or Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE) certification
• Experience with predictive/condition-monitoring technologies (vibration analysis, thermal imaging, ultrasonic testing) and lubrication programs
• Familiarity with Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)
• Experience performing asset criticality assessments and risk-based prioritization
• Experience supporting multiple sites or a multi-plant network
• Proficiency with statistical analysis tools and reliability KPIs (MTBF, planned vs. reactive ratio, repeat failure rate)
• Experience leading cross-functional reliability or continuous improvement initiatives
• Experience developing training or capability-building programs for site maintenance and operations teams
• Familiarity with process safety management (PSM) and mechanical integrity requirements in a chemical or process manufacturing environment
