• Ensure Site Asset Management Improvement Programs such as: Asset criticality Identification, Risk Assessment and Mitigation, Asset Condition Auditing, Preventive and Condition Maintenance Integration, Predictive Strategies, and Asset Refurbishment/Obsolescence Plans are being implemented with measurable success

• Implement current and new methodologies, techniques and work practices as they relate to Condition, Preventive and Predictive Based Maintenance

• Set technical direction, performance goals, and career development for 10+ direct-report site REs.

• Maintain the enterprise maintenance strategy library and enforce adoption via CMMS.

• Deliver reliability input into capital planning (replacements, upgrades, redundancy).

• Accelerate digital reliability (IoT, AI analytics, digital twin, mobile CMMS).

• Manager RMS and site level metrics through KPIs, executive dashboards, and quarterly reliability business reviews and implement practices within sites to deliver results.

• Facilitate the Reliability Community of Practice (training, peer reviews, vendor standards).
