Sr. Reliability Engineer

• Sep 2021 - Sep 2022

* Support implementation of reliability excellence in client facilities and sustain improvements. * Responsible for working with plants to develop asset strategy. This will include development of DFMEA’s, FMEA’s and EMP’s. * Perform reliability assessments and complete follow-up work with the plants to close gaps. * Drive and implement maintenance best practices across North American facilities. This will include working directly on projects with the plants as well training plant personnel in reliability best practices (e.g., lubrication, planning, FMEA’s, predictive maintenance, asset strategy, root cause analysis….) * Use change management principles to drive reliability culture across facilities. * Data analysis of equipment maintenance histories to establish equipment maintenance plans, set spare part inventory requirements and focus improvement efforts to increase mean time between failures (MTBF). * Drive standardization of Computer Maintenance Management System (CMMS) across facility network. System to be optimized for spare parts inventory control, tracking equipment history, asset hierarchy, and tracking of key reliability leading indicator metrics. Show less
