Within the role, it will direct and provide leadership for key equipment assets that will ensure asset reliability is maintained at the highest levels, will drive for reliability of work processes, procedures and operating practices and will define, design, develop, and monitor the site’s critical asset register to provide standardized processes and procedures for the proper operation and care of key production, utility and supporting assets. Additionally, it will be in charge of the Reliability Engineering Plan, Maintenance Excellence Program (MEP) and metrics related to assets’ reliability.

Responsibilities

• Support the site’s Maintenance Excellence Program (MEP) by providing weekly and monthly reports and on targeting critical equipment assets for optimization and continuous improvement activities.
• Guide efforts to ensure reliability and maintainability of equipment, processes, utilities, facilities, controls and safety systems.
• Develop engineering solutions to repetitive failures, and apply knowledge in methods and processes to prevent, or reduce the likelihood or frequency of failures in site systems.
• Analyze failure history to determine the reliability characteristics of key systems, and from this analysis, develop long-term solutions to recurring issues.
• Develop and enforce an Asset Operations Plan Priorities that will ensure optimum utilization and operating efficiency of facility’s assets, and development of an Asset Maintenance Plan to ensure adequate levels of sustaining effective maintenance for each plant asset on the asset register.
