Mid Level Reliability Centered Maintenance Jobs in Nevada

About the Job:

The Company is seeking a Reliability Engineer – Mobile Equipment Maintenance for its Rochester Mine in Lovelock, Nevada.

The Reliability Engineer is responsible for improving the safety, reliability, availability, maintainability, and lifecycle cost of mining equipment and supporting infrastructure at an open pit mine site. Rochester’s fleet of equipment includes a Komatsu PC4000 and Hitachi 2600 face shovels, three CAT 994K loaders, twenty-six CAT 789 Haul Trucks, two CAT 6250 Drills, two DML Drills, one Epiroc 235 Viper Drill, six CAT D10 Dozers and miscellaneous support Water Trucks, Graders, RTD equipment and an assortment of medium and light duty vehicles. This position will report to the Mobile Maintenance Superintendent.

This position provides hands-on, field-based engineering support to Maintenance and Operations. The Reliability Engineer analyzes equipment condition, failure history, work order data, operating practices, and component performance to identify opportunities for improvement. The role leads root cause investigations, develops maintenance strategies, supports condition monitoring programs, and drives defect-elimination projects from identification through verified completion.

The successful candidate will have practical experience in mining, heavy mobile equipment, or a comparable heavy industrial environment. This is a mid-level to senior engineering position, (DOE) expected to work independently on moderately complex assignments, lead cross-functional improvement efforts, and provide technical guidance to planners, supervisors, technicians, and junior engineers.

Primary Responsibilities:

Reliability and Asset Performance

Failure Analysis and Defect Elimination

• Lead root cause analyses for significant equipment failures, repeat failures, safety-related defects, and production-loss events.
• Gather physical evidence, operating data, fluid samples, inspection findings, work history, photographs, and employee observations during investigations.
• Develop corrective actions that address physical, human, procedural, design, and organizational causes.
• Assign action owners, establish due dates, monitor completion, and verify the effectiveness of corrective actions.
• Communicate investigation findings in clear technical reports and presentations.

Maintenance Strategy and PM Optimization

• Develop and optimize preventive, predictive, and condition-based maintenance strategies.
• Review preventive maintenance tasks for effectiveness, duplication, excessive frequency, missing tasks, and opportunities for condition-based maintenance.
• Support asset criticality assessments and risk-based maintenance prioritization.
• Facilitate maintenance strategy reviews using reliability-centered maintenance and failure-mode-based principles.
• Ensure maintenance tasks clearly define the failure mode being managed, the required action, and the expected standard.
• Recommend changes to maintenance intervals based on condition data, failure history, operating environment, and OEM guidance.
• Support job-plan development by identifying technical requirements, tolerances, inspection points, and quality-control steps.

Condition Monitoring

• Support or manage condition-monitoring technologies applicable to mine equipment, including:
• Lubricant and wear-debris analysis
• Vibration analysis
• Infrared thermography
• Ultrasound
• Equipment inspections
• Filtration and contamination-control monitoring
• Telematics and onboard equipment data
• Payload, temperature, pressure, and event data
• Review condition-monitoring alerts and ensure actionable findings are converted into planned maintenance work.

Lubrication and Contamination Control:

• Support the site lubrication management program for mobile and fixed equipment.
• Review lubricant selection, storage, transfer, filtration, dispensing, sampling, and disposal practices.
• Establish or improve contamination-control targets for hydraulic, powertrain, fuel, and lubrication systems.
• Investigate abnormal wear metals, viscosity changes, coolant contamination, fuel dilution, water ingress, oxidation, and particle-count trends.
• Recommend improvements such as offline filtration, high-efficiency breathers, desiccant breathers, improved sampling ports, sealed transfer systems, and filtration upgrades.
• Work with Maintenance, Warehouse, and suppliers to prevent lubricant misapplication and cross-contamination.
• Develop standards for fluid cleanliness during component installation and system commissioning.

Required Qualifications & Skills:

Additional Information:

• Relocation available for certain positions
• Competitive AIP (Annual Incentive Bonus)
• Full benefits on day 1 (medical, vision, dental, employee assistance program, Teladoc service)
• 6% dollar-for-dollar employer match to 401k or Roth, immediate vesting
• Travel pay for those outside of bus service

• Complimentary health clinic in Lovelock for benefit-enrolled employees and their dependents, providing convenient access to quality care at no additional cost
