A Day in This Role

You start the morning scanning dashboards of asset health, spotting a vibration spike on a critical production line. By mid-morning you’re leading a root cause session, translating complex findings into clear actions. After lunch, you meet with Automation, Engineering, Operations, and Maintenance to align on a Management of Change proposal for a new piece of equipment—making sure it’s reliable and maintainable from day one. You close the day by prioritizing a portfolio of projects to eliminate chronic failures and lift uptime across the plant.

What You’ll Do

• Champion reliability improvement, providing hands-on technical leadership and guidance.
• Drive reliability excellence initiatives and deliver projects that lift overall equipment effectiveness and availability.
• Analyze production losses and high maintenance spend to target bad actors and reduce repeat failures.
• Lead failure investigations; identify true root causes and implement permanent corrective actions.
• Shape Maintenance strategies—build and refine PM and PdM programs using tools such as vibration analysis, thermography, ultrasonics, and oil analysis.
• Participate in Management of Change activities for new or modified equipment to ensure maintainability and reliability from the outset.
• Work closely with technical and operations teams to mitigate recurring breakdowns through data-driven strategies.
• Maximize equipment performance with a focus on: employee safety, high availability/uptime, and readiness for strategic growth.
• Collaborate daily with Automation, Engineering, Operations, and Maintenance to resolve near-term issues and plan long-term improvements.
• Identify and support continuous improvement initiatives throughout the facility.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, or a related discipline preferred).
• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing, engineering, or maintenance.
• Lean/Six Sigma certification preferred; practical experience with 6S, Kaizen, and Operational Excellence.
• Advanced data analysis capability and familiarity with statistical methods.
• Excellent communicator and collaborator with a track record of coordinating diverse teams.
• Change agent mindset—energetic, positive, and effective in driving adoption.
• Strong organizational skills with disciplined prioritization.
• Robust mechanical/electrical aptitude; skilled in problem-solving frameworks such as RCA, FMEA, and 5-Why.
• Decisive and thoughtful under pressure; able to navigate complexity and rapid change.
• Able to deliver constructive feedback and distill complex topics into clear, actionable steps; confident facilitator and presenter.

Work Environment

Expect a dynamic setting with multiple concurrent projects and firm deadlines. You’ll support a range of departments and shift quickly as priorities evolve.

• Exposure to dust, oil, grease, heat/humidity, fumes, and noise at times.
• Use of appropriate PPE in manufacturing areas (safety shoes, safety glasses, hearing protection as required).
• Occasional entry into walled containment areas and access to roofs; conditions may be uncomfortably hot or cold at times.

Accessibility

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
