The Reliability and Methods Engineer will report to the Head of Maintenance & Reliability.

Maintenance Excellence

Development of Reliability Strategies & Maintenance Programs

· Develop and maintain FMECA as a knowledge platform for plant-specific risk assessment, reliability-enhancing activities, and determination of maintenance strategies.

· Perform periodic analysis on equipment databases to determine improvement priorities, increase equipment uptime, and reduce asset ownership costs.

· Originate and develop analytical methods for determining reliability of components, equipment, and processes.

· Manage Predictive Maintenance (PDM) programs such as vibration analysis, infrared thermography, motor circuit analysis, ultrasonics, and related technologies.

· Interpret predictive maintenance data outputs and prioritize corrective actions accordingly.

Compliance & Operational Performance

· Review, monitor, and ensure compliance with engineering design requirements, standards, specifications, and local regulatory codes.

· Routinely audit operational performance and regulatory compliance of highly complex equipment and systems.

· Support maintenance excellence initiatives to improve system reliability, maintainability, and performance.
