Instrument Reliability Engineer

Projects–Electrical Reliability Engineer Job Summary/Objective This role is critical in driving equipment reliability, managing change processes, and executing capital and improvement projects. The successful candidate will lead root cause analysis (RCA) for equipment failures, champion continuous improvement initiatives , and manage projects using the Front‑End Loaded (FEL) process . Work Authorization This role requires authorization to work in the United States. Sponsorship is not available at this time. Key Responsibilities Monitor and improve the OEE of Plantwide Electrical systems Improve the onstream factor of electrical industrial manufacturing system plantwide: sub‑stations and power distribution to manufacturing equipment, starters, VFDs, protection systems, drives/motors, power and DCS interfacing system, etc. Ensure systems are performing at their optimum throughput. Guide the maintenance department on best practices to reduce failures, reduce total operating cost of equipment, maintenance frequency and how to. Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Lead investigations into equipment failures and chronic reliability issues. Facilitate cross‑functional RCA sessions and develop actionable recommendations. Track and report on corrective actions and effectiveness. Management of Change (MoC): Own and lead or participate in the MoC process for mechanical systems and equipment modifications. Ensure compliance with safety, environmental, and operational standards. Collaborate with operations, maintenance, and engineering teams to assess risks and impacts. Identify improvement opportunities, prepare business cases and execute change as per the FEL process. Utilize field data collection and analysis to identify failure trends and reliability opportunities. Develop and implement strategies to eliminate repeat failures and improve equipment uptime. Support reliability‑centered maintenance (RCM) and predictive maintenance programs. Project Management (FEL Process): Lead mechanical projects from concept through execution using the FEL methodology. Develop scopes, budgets, schedules, and risk assessments for capital and improvement projects. Coordinate with internal stakeholders and external contractors to ensure successful project delivery.
