  • Provide reliability-engineered solutions that improve overall equipment effectiveness and support long-term equipment performance.
  • Enhance equipment reliability through Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), preventative maintenance, and predictive maintenance practices.
  • Plan, schedule, coordinate, and support the execution of maintenance and equipment-reliability activities.
  • Provide engineering leadership for continuous improvement projects, equipment upgrades, and safety-related change management activities.
  • Partner with Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, craftspeople, and machine operators to troubleshoot equipment issues and improve performance.
  • Translate critical-to-customer quality metrics into functional design and equipment improvement opportunities.
  • Work with cross-functional equipment improvement teams to assess equipment performance, countermeasure recurring problems, and identify reliability concerns.
  • Track monthly breakdown metrics for critical equipment and use data to prioritize reliability focus areas.
  • Manage reliability-engineering work backlog for assigned areas.
  • Support root cause analysis efforts, including detailed equipment-failure analysis and short- and long-term corrective action plans.
  • Assist with maintenance planning, scheduling, and execution to support successful work order completion.
  • Contact, interview, and request bids from vendors, suppliers, engineering consultants, contractors, and other external resources as needed.
  • Develop and manage capital and expense projects, including project details, justification data, procurement needs, spare parts, and bills of materials.
  • Recommend and implement replacement or innovative technologies that improve reliability, capability, efficiency, and equipment obsolescence.
  • Maintain a working knowledge of the labor agreement to support contract commitments and effective partnership in a union environment.
What We’re Looking For
  • Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Minimum of 5 years of demonstrated experience in reliability engineering, maintenance engineering, manufacturing engineering, or a related technical role.
  • Strong understanding of preventative and predictive maintenance concepts, tools, and practices.
  • TPM and Lean training preferred.
  • Familiarity with modern maintenance techniques, practices, and procedures.
  • Strong interpersonal, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  • Excellent analytical, troubleshooting, problem-solving, and root-cause identification skills.
  • Strong organizational skills with attention to detail and follow-through.
  • Ability to work responsibly and independently while using sound judgment.
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Office, including Excel, Word, Access, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
  • Experience with CMMS databases, D365 ERP, and AutoCAD preferred.
