About the Role

The Reliability Engineer will report directly to the Reliability Manager and will play a critical role in improving equipment reliability, reducing unplanned downtime, and supporting long-term asset health across cement plant operations.

  • Partner with maintenance planners and supervisors to improve maintenance execution and asset lifecycle management.
  • Assist in development of spare parts strategies and critical equipment inventories.
  • Support shutdown planning and execution activities during major outages.
  • Utilize CMMS systems to track work orders, equipment history, and maintenance KPIs.
  • Identify opportunities to improve plant efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and increase operational uptime.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives focused on safety, reliability, and productivity.
  • Collaborate with OEMs, contractors, and internal technical teams on equipment upgrades and troubleshooting.
  • Ensure compliance with all safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements.



Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related technical discipline.
  • 2–5 years of experience in reliability engineering, maintenance engineering, or heavy industrial operations.
  • Experience in cement, mining, aggregates, steel, power generation, pulp & paper, or other heavy manufacturing environments preferred.
  • Working knowledge of rotating equipment, hydraulics, pneumatics, conveyors, gearboxes, pumps, and industrial processing systems.
  • Familiarity with predictive maintenance technologies and reliability methodologies.
  • Experience using CMMS systems such as SAP, Maximo, or similar platforms preferred.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, schematics, and equipment documentation.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and data analysis tools.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced plant environment.



Required Skills

  • Exposure to vibration analysis or predictive maintenance programs.
  • Experience supporting large-scale industrial shutdowns or turnarounds.
  • Knowledge of reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) principles.
  • EIT certification or progression toward PE licensure is a plus.

Competitive compensation. Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits. 401(k) with company match. Career growth opportunities within a large, publicly traded industrial organization. Exposure to complex industrial systems and major capital projects. Relocation assistance, where applicable. A collaborative culture focused on safety, development, and operational excellence.
