Process Reliability Manager information

What is a process reliability manager?

A Process Reliability Manager is a professional responsible for ensuring that manufacturing or production processes operate efficiently, consistently, and with minimal downtime. They analyze process data, identify areas for improvement, and implement strategies to enhance equipment reliability and overall process performance. By collaborating with maintenance, engineering, and operations teams, they help reduce failures, optimize productivity, and maintain quality standards. Their work is crucial for minimizing costs and ensuring that production targets are met safely and reliably.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a process reliability manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Process Reliability Manager, you need a strong background in engineering, process optimization, and reliability analysis, often supported by a degree in engineering and experience in manufacturing or industrial settings. Familiarity with reliability-centered maintenance (RCM), root cause analysis tools, and data analysis software such as SAP or Maximo is typically required. Exceptional problem-solving, leadership, and communication skills help drive cross-functional teams and foster a culture of continuous improvement. These skills are crucial to ensure equipment reliability, minimize downtime, and optimize operational efficiency within complex production environments.

How does a process reliability manager typically collaborate with maintenance and production teams to achieve operational goals?

A Process Reliability Manager works closely with both maintenance and production teams to identify areas of improvement in equipment reliability and process efficiency. This often involves facilitating cross-functional meetings, analyzing downtime data, and implementing preventive maintenance strategies. Clear communication and teamwork are key, as the role requires aligning the objectives of different departments to minimize unplanned outages and optimize production output. By fostering a proactive culture and sharing best practices, the Process Reliability Manager helps ensure the plant operates smoothly and efficiently.

What is the difference between Process Reliability Manager vs Maintenance Engineer?

AspectProcess Reliability ManagerMaintenance Engineer
CertificationsReliability certifications, Six Sigma, PMPMechanical/Electrical certifications, HVAC, PLC certifications
Work EnvironmentManufacturing plants, industrial facilitiesFactories, equipment maintenance sites
Industry UsageFocus on reliability, uptime, and process optimizationFocus on equipment repair, preventive maintenance

The Process Reliability Manager primarily focuses on improving equipment reliability and process efficiency through data analysis and strategic planning. In contrast, Maintenance Engineers handle the hands-on repair and maintenance of machinery. Both roles are essential in manufacturing, but the Process Reliability Manager emphasizes proactive reliability strategies, while Maintenance Engineers focus on reactive and preventive maintenance tasks.

Job description

About the job

As a Reliability and Automation Technician, you'll be responsible for maximizing the uptime, efficiency, and longevity of automated systems, robotics, and industrial machinery. This role combines preventive maintenance with advanced troubleshooting of PLCs, sensors, and control systems to minimize downtime and enhance process reliability. The technician acts as a subject matter expert, analyzing failure modes and implementing improvements to prevent recurrence. 

This is a fully onsite role at our facility located at 600 N. County Line Road, Elmhurst, IL. 

Who We Are

McMaster-Carr is a leading e-commerce company that industrial customers have trusted for over 125 years. Our products help them get manufacturing lines back up quickly, keep operations running smoothly, and prototype the next generation of innovative solutions. Behind it all are our people: exceptional and resourceful problem-solvers who take pride in getting every detail right for our customers.

What You'll Do

  • Troubleshooting & Repair: Diagnose and repair complex faults in automated equipment (conveyors, robotics, PLC control panels, VFDs) through electrical, mechanical, and pneumatic pathways.
  • Preventive & Predictive Maintenance: Perform routine inspections and predictive maintenance (thermography, vibration analysis) to proactively identify potential component failures.
  • Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Lead or assist in RCA investigations for chronic equipment failures and implement corrective actions.
  • Documentation & CMMS: Maintain detailed logs of repairs, maintenance activities, and parts usage in a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS).
  • Safety Compliance: Uphold all safety policies, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), robot safety standards, and machine guarding.

Who You Are

  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics, Automation, Electrical Engineering Technology, or related field is strongly preferred. 
  • Experience: 3-5+ years of hands-on experience maintaining industrial automation, PLC controls, or robotics.

Technical Skills:

  • Proficiency with PLC troubleshooting (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, or similar).
  • Strong knowledge of industrial sensors, motor controls, and actuators.
  • Physical Ability: Able to work in an industrial environment, lift heavy components, and work at heights.
  • Flexibility: This position supports a 24/7 distribution operation. Opportunities may be available across day, evening, overnight, and weekend shifts. Final shift assignments will be determined during the selection process.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience in high-volume, automated logistics, distribution and/or manufacturing. 

Key Competencies for Success

  • Problem-Solving: Methodical approach to isolating faults under pressure.
  • Collaboration: Working shoulder-to-shoulder with engineering, maintenance, and production teams.
  • Proactive Mindset: Focus on reliability rather than just "break-fix" repair.

Cash Compensation

Total cash compensation ranges from $119,500 - $137,500 annually, which includes annual cash profit sharing based on company profitability.

Benefits

We offer comprehensive benefits to support employees and their dependents, such as:

  • 100% tuition reimbursement
  • Medical, dental, pharmacy, and vision plans with no monthly premiums
  • Industry-leading company-funded retirement accounts
  • Inclusive, all-gender benefits
