Responsibilities
About the Role
At Post Consumer Brands, reliability is more than preventing downtime, it's building a smarter, more resilient operation. As a Reliability Engineer, you'll be the go-to partner for maintenance and operations, using data plus hands-on mechanical understanding to spot risk early, prioritize the right work, and strengthen equipment performance day after day.
You'll blend "in-the-trenches" maintenance knowledge with proactive reliability practices, turning breakdown learnings into prevention, and translating condition insights into action.
Key Responsibilities

• Use equipment health and performance data to identify issues early, recommend fixes, and help teams prioritize the most impactful work.
• Partner with maintenance/operations to reduce repeat failures through root cause problem solving and continuous improvement habits.
• Support daily/weekly execution by contributing to the maintenance plan and schedule (including routine reporting and prioritization inputs).
• Leverage asset/CMMS tools to turn information into clear, practical decisions for the floor.
• Apply and promote condition-based reliability thinking to drive uptime and stability.
• Serve as an owner/champion for reliability priorities within assigned areas-helping teams understand current condition, what "good" looks like, and what to tackle next.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's Degree in Engineering preferred, but we're casting a wide net for the right problem-solver. This could be a traditional engineer, or a seasoned maintenance professional ready to step into a reliability-focused role.

• Experience in a manufacturing environment with strong mechanical understanding; food manufacturing exposure is a plus.
• Typically 5+ years in maintenance systems, reliability/asset health work, or maintenance supervision/leadership.
• Data-oriented and process-minded-able to justify priorities with evidence and communicate recommendations clearly.
• Self-motivated, proactive, and solutions-driven (you identify problems, build a plan, and drive it to completion).
• Comfortable collaborating across functions-working with trades, engineers, and operations to solve problems together.
• This is an individual contributor role.

Qualifications
Why You'll Love This Role

• Make your handprint visible. You'll be trusted to run with meaningful work-not stuck in meetings all day-and you'll see the results of your improvements on the floor.
• Big company opportunity. Small company attitude. You'll have strong resources behind you, plus the flexibility and ownership to do your best work.
• Cross-functional impact. Work side-by-side with maintenance, process engineering, operations, and other partners to improve how the plant runs.
• Growth runway. This role can be a strong path toward broader engineering or maintenance leadership opportunities.
• Purpose you can feel. We're here to make lives better by making delicious food accessible for all-and reliability is a key part of delivering that promise every day.

Location, Travel & Pay

• This role is designed for on-site partnership with maintenance and operations teams, with daily presence in the plant environment.
• Schedule: 6:30AM-2:30PM
• Travel is not specifically defined; work may require moving between assigned plant areas/teams based on business need.
• Pay Range: will be determined based on level of experience, skills and impact. We are hiring Engineers I, II and III. The Pay range listed below is for an Engineer III.

Ready to Make an Impact
If you're a hands-on, data-driven problem solver who wants to prevent the next failure-not just respond to it-this is your chance to build reliability that lasts. Bring your curiosity, your mechanical know-how, and your bias for action-and help us keep our operations running strong.
