Job Description

________________________________________

Reports To: Maintenance Reliability Manager 

Location: SCUPP, Carrollton, GA 

Relocation Assistance- Partial

No sponsorship

Salary- $87300 - $105000/ Annum

JOB PURPOSE: 

The Reliability Engineer champions the implementation of reliability best practices. This role will also evaluate new best-known methods and technologies to continuously improve equipment reliability.

Key aspects of this position include:

• Working with various plant teams and areas to identify, evaluate, and implement reliability improvement opportunities through changes to operating and maintenance procedures, and equipment upgrades.

• Analyzing equipment history to identify reliability improvement opportunities.

• Deploying root cause analysis methods and tools on problems or failures that have resulted in consequential impacts related to machine downtime and / or maintenance expense.

• Participating in new equipment selection and deployment processes to ensure reliability and maintainability principles are included in the design and implementation activities.

• Supporting the Autonomous Maintenance process by contributing to the design and selection of operator inspections and tasks to sustain equipment condition and performance.

• Promoting the following reliability strategies:

• Planned corrective maintenance is more effective than reactive maintenance.

• Time based preventive maintenance is more effective than plan corrective maintenance.

• Condition based (predictive) maintenance is more effective than time based preventive maintenance.

• Prevention of maintenance is the best comprehensive maintenance strategy.

• Participating in audits to measure and validate progression and performance in the reliability journey.

• Utilizing reliability centered maintenance (RCM) principles to optimize the equipment maintenance strategy.

• Serving as a subject matter expert of the computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) and assist in end user training efforts to ensure master and transactional data integrity and accuracy.'
