Reliability Engineer

Reliability Engineer

The Reliability Engineer will be responsible for improving the reliability, availability, and maintainability of mining equipment and fixed/mobile assets. This role will work closely with Maintenance, Operations, Engineering, and other site functions to identify equipment reliability risks, eliminate recurring failures, optimize maintenance strategies, and improve overall asset performance.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience in a mining or heavy industrial environment and a strong understanding of reliability engineering principles, predictive and preventive maintenance, failure analysis, and asset management.

Responsibilities include developing, implementing, and continuously improving reliability strategies for mining equipment and critical site assets. The role involves analyzing equipment failure data, leading root cause analysis and failure mode and effects analysis activities, developing and optimizing preventive and predictive maintenance programs, monitoring key reliability and maintenance KPIs, identifying bad actors and chronic equipment problems, partnering with Maintenance and Operations teams, providing engineering support for mining equipment, conducting equipment criticality assessments, utilizing condition-monitoring technologies, reviewing equipment history and maintenance records, supporting maintenance planning and major equipment overhauls, developing and maintaining equipment reliability standards and engineering documentation, evaluating equipment modifications and replacement options, supporting commissioning and start-up of new equipment, participating in management of change, risk assessments, and engineering reviews, collaborating with procurement and suppliers, promoting reliability-centered maintenance and continuous improvement practices, ensuring reliability activities comply with safety, environmental, regulatory, and company requirements, and providing technical guidance and mentoring to maintenance and operations personnel on reliability best practices.

Education and experience requirements include a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Reliability Engineering, or a related engineering discipline. An advanced degree or formal training in Reliability Engineering, Asset Management, or Maintenance Engineering is preferred. Reliability certifications such as Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE), Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional (CMRP), or equivalent are preferred. Three to seven years of engineering, maintenance, or reliability experience, preferably within mining, minerals processing, heavy industry, metals, aggregates, or another asset-intensive environment, is required. Demonstrated experience improving reliability and availability of heavy industrial or mining equipment, conducting RCA, FMEA, criticality assessments, and RCM studies, understanding preventive, predictive, and condition-based maintenance methodologies, experience working with CMMS/EAM systems, analyzing maintenance and equipment performance data, working knowledge of mechanical and/or electrical equipment commonly found in mining operations, experience working directly with maintenance and operations teams in a field or plant environment, understanding of maintenance planning, spare-parts strategy, equipment lifecycle management, and maintenance optimization, experience with reliability and condition-monitoring tools and techniques, and demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional improvement initiatives and translate engineering analysis into practical field solutions are also required.
