At Pinnacle, our vision is to make the world reliable, one customer at a time. Reliability means our customers can trust that their facilities operate when and how they are supposed to. With a focus on data, Pinnacle drives to increase safety, efficiency, and evolve facilities to an optimized state through reliability. Pinnacle serves a variety of industries. Industries We Serve Oil & Gas Food & Beverage Specialty & Petrochemical Pharmaceutical Mining Agriculture & Fertilizer Lumber Water & Wastewater The Impact of a Reliability Data Analyst As a Reliability Data Analyst (RDA), you’ll be exposed to programs like Mechanical Integrity (MI), Risk Based Inspection (RBI), Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), Quantitative Reliability Optimization (QRO), technology development and implementation, and groundbreaking research and development opportunities. You will gain exposure to and will require growth in both project leadership and technical competencies. People who succeed here do not stay RDAs for long. They grow into Managers, Technical Experts, or Business/Sales‑facing leaders — based on strengths, results, and appetite for accountability. This role is demanding and highly visible. It is designed for people who want to be stretched. What You’ll Own Turn incomplete operational data into clear, defensible reliability recommendations Lead customer‑facing reliability workstreams from ambiguity to execution Identify failure trends, economic tradeoffs, and risk drivers — then decide what matters Manage multiple priorities without needing step‑by‑step direction Build trust with customers and internal leaders through consistent follow‑through Progressively take on larger scope, harder problems, and greater ownership Growth is expected within 12–18 months Growth Is Expected Here This role is built for growth — and growth is not optional. Within 12–18 months, high performers are expected to: Take ownership of more complex customers or portfolios Influence engagement strategy, not just execution Begin developing strengths aligned to one of Pinnacle’s leadership paths: People Leadership & Management, Technical Excellence & Reliability Specialization, Customer Strategy and Sales How You’ll Be Successful You move forward even when inputs are messy or incomplete You take accountability for outcomes, not just deliverables You actively seek feedback and apply it quickly You communicate clearly with engineers, operators, and leaders You’re motivated by progress, challenge, and increasing responsibility You demonstrate humility, curiosity, and a willingness to continuously grow This Role Is For You You want a role that will stretch you beyond your current capabilities You enjoy learning through real responsibility, not simulations You’re motivated by growth, not titles You want exposure to customers, leadership, and hard decisions early in your career You see this role as a foundation for bigger scope — not a long‑term landing spot This Role Is Not For You You prefer stable, narrowly defined responsibilities You want to “get comfortable” before taking ownership You expect growth to be time‑based instead of performance‑based You’re only interested in analysis, not influence or execution You want to stay in the same role long‑term Minimum Requirements Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Chemical, or related Engineering field ~4+ years of experience in an industrial or reliability‑focused environment Comfortable operating with ambiguity and evolving priorities Strong communication skills and a bias toward action Willingness to travel and adapt to customer needs Certifications, CMMS experience, and advanced analytics are valuable — but ownership, judgment, and growth mindset matter more The Pinnacle Way (TPW) We Understand: what the true goals and objectives are for the facility, leaders, and personnel that we engage.
