Senior Manager - Reliability Engineering-Shackelford County Texas

Job Description

**This position is onsite in Shackelford County, Texas**

As Senior Manager – Reliability Engineering, you will lead the teams, methods, and programs responsible for improving the availability, maintainability, and lifecycle performance of mission-critical facilities infrastructure across OCI’s data center portfolio. This role sets the direction for reliability engineering practices across electrical, mechanical, and controls domains, with a strong focus on analytics, predictive maintenance, risk reduction, and standardized reliability methods.

You will lead engineers and analysts who partner closely with site operations, design, construction, commissioning, and automation teams to identify reliability risks, improve maintenance strategies, strengthen incident learning, and ensure corrective actions are implemented and sustained. This role translates operational data and engineering analysis into portfolio-level standards, priorities, and decisions that protect uptime and support long-term capacity growth.

Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

• Lead reliability engineering and analytics teams supporting multiple sites, regions, or infrastructure programs across mission-critical facilities environments.
• Define and standardize reliability engineering methods, including FMEA, RCA, RCM, critical assessment, defect elimination, and continuous improvement practices.
• Establish reliability programs for electrical, mechanical, and controls systems that improve asset health, reduce repeat failures, and strengthen operational resilience.
• Oversee deployment and effective use of monitoring, alarming, analytics, and automation tools that support predictive maintenance, asset performance visibility, and reliability decision-making.
• Define, track, and report portfolio reliability of KPIs, trends, risks, and corrective action status to executive leadership and global operations stakeholders.
• Ensure corrective actions from incidents, failure analyses, audits, and trend reviews are implemented, verified for effectiveness, and sustained over time.
• Partner with site operations teams to improve maintenance programs, troubleshooting rigor, failure response, operational readiness, and procedure quality.
• Guide reliability input into commissioning, acceptance testing, operational handover, major maintenance, retrofits, and equipment lifecycle planning.
• Drive structured analysis of asset utilization, failure history, equipment health, remaining useful life, spare parts strategy, and end-of-life risk.
• Partner with design, construction, and procurement teams to improve reliability, maintainability, standardization, and total cost of ownership in new and existing infrastructure.
• Develop engineers and analysts through coaching, technical review, prioritization discipline, and data-driven problem solving.
• Build strong operating rhythms across the team, ensuring priorities, escalation paths, portfolio visibility, and follow-through are clear and consistent.
  
  
  

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 5–7 years of experience in reliability engineering, maintenance engineering, critical facilities, manufacturing, utilities, industrial operations, or other uptime-critical environments; data center experience preferred, but adjacent industry experience is highly relevant.
• 2–4 years of experience leading engineers, analysts, or technical programs across multiple sites, business units, or complex infrastructure environments.
• Strong background in reliability frameworks, structured root cause analysis, maintenance strategy, asset lifecycle planning, and operational risk reduction.
• Experience working cross-functionally with operations, design, construction, commissioning, and vendor partners.
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, OR relevent industry experience
  
  
  

Skills And Competencies

• Strong technical leadership and ability to influence engineering, operations, and business stakeholders.
• Strong analytical judgment and ability to translate reliability data into practical decisions, priorities, and executive-level recommendations.
• Deep familiarity with RCA rigor, FMEA/FMECA, reliability metrics, maintenance optimization, and continuous improvement methods.
• Ability to connect site-level issues to portfolio-wide patterns, risks, and opportunities.
• Clear communicator who can explain technical tradeoffs, operational risk, and recommended actions to mixed audiences.
• Strong organizational discipline, follow-through, and ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment.
  
  
  

Preferred Skills

• Experience in hyperscale data centers or other mission-critical environments supporting electrical distribution, mechanical cooling systems, controls/automation platforms, and integrated facility operations.
• Experience with predictive maintenance programs, condition-based monitoring, failure trend analysis, and asset health modeling.
• Familiarity with reliability, availability, and maintainability analysis; maintenance strategy development; spare parts optimization; and lifecycle cost evaluation.
• Experience supporting or governing commissioning, operational acceptance, maintenance of program design, and system readiness for new or modified installations.
• Working knowledge of monitoring and analytics platforms, CMMS/EAM systems, DCIM, EPMS/BMS data, and automation tools used to improve facility reliability.
• Experience building KPI dashboards and reporting frameworks for senior operations or executive leadership.
• Knowledge of reliability practices across electrical, mechanical, and controls systems, even if prior domain depth is strongest in one area.
  
  
  

Preferred Credentials / Certifications

• Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional (CMRP) preferred.
• Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE) preferred.
• ASQ, SMRP, or equivalent reliability and quality certifications are a plus.
• Data center or critical environment credentials such as Uptime Institute training/certifications are a plus where relevant to the role.
• OEM, controls, analytics, or condition-monitoring training relevant to critical infrastructure reliability programs is a plus.
• Advanced training in FMEA, RCA, Lean, Six Sigma, or structured problem-solving methodologies is a plus.
