SUMMARY OF FUNCTIONS The Reliability Engineer is responsible for identifying and managing risks that could adversely affect Plant Operations. The Reliability Engineer directs a corporate-wide Asset Management Process that improves asset reliability, as well as the processes, procedures and practices that ensure adherence to best practices.As part of the overall Asset Management Plan, the Reliability Engineer is responsible for the development of an Asset Maintenance Plan and Asset Operating Plan that ensures adequate levels of sustaining maintenance for all assets.To accomplish these objectives, the Corporate Reliability Engineer will supervise and collaborate with the Sr. Maintenance Manager. The Sr. Maintenance Manager will have a dotted line leadership role with the plant Maintenance Managers.DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Works with Plant Engineers and Maintenance at all locations to ensure the reliability and maintainability of new and existing facilities, and equipment.
  • Develops and implements a Life Cycle Asset Management (LCAM) process for facilities and equipment at all locations.
  • Develops, implements and participates in a final check out process for new installations. This includes factory and site acceptance testing that will assure adherence to functional specifications.
  • Defines, implements, monitors and improves an Asset Maintenance Plan that includes:oPreventive maintenance.oEffective utilization of predictive and other non-destructive testing methodologies designed to identify and isolate inherent reliability problems.
  • Defines, implements, monitors and improves an Asset Operating Plan that provides standardized processes and procedures for proper operation and operator care of production and other assets.
  • Defines, implements, monitors and improves Risk Management Plan that anticipates reliability-related and non-reliability-related risks that could adversely impact plant operations.
  • Develops engineering solutions to repetitive failures and all other problems that adversely affect plant operations. These problems shall include capacity, quality, cost or regulatory compliance issues. To fulfill this responsibility, the Reliability Engineer shall apply:o Data analysis techniques.o Root-cause Failure Analysis.o Failure Reporting Analysis and Corrective Action Systemso Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)o Help drive STD Data Collection of equipment failures and scrap lossesAnalyses of asset and production system performance that can include;o Overall Equipment Effectivenesso Cost of Goods Soldo Remaining useful lifeo Any other parameters that define operating condition, reliability and costs of assetsDUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES (continued)
