Mechanical Reliability Engineer

Our multidisciplinary reliability group unites mechanical, electrical, and process specialists who relish complex challenges. We believe continuous improvement never rests, and neither do we. Expect open dialogue, data-driven decisions, and the autonomy to experiment with emergent technologies—whether you log in from the office, a plant floor, or your home workspace.

Key Responsibilities

– Champion Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) programs that lift Overall Equipment Effectiveness by double digits.  

– Implement PdM technologies—vibration, infrared thermography, ultrasound, and oil analysis—to detect emerging defects before failure.  

– Facilitate rigorous Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA); author actionable reports that cut repeat incidents.  

– Mine CMMS and historian data; apply Weibull distribution, Monte Carlo, and trend analysis to forecast degradation.  

– Optimize spare-parts strategies and Mean Time Between Failure metrics in concert with Supply Chain.  

– Mentor maintenance technicians on condition monitoring and precision repair practices.  

– Collaborate with design, process, and safety engineers to harden asset integrity during modifications or green-field projects.  

– Track KPI dashboards; present monthly reliability insights to senior leadership with clear financial impact.

Required Qualifications

– Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or closely allied discipline.  

– 5+ years in industrial reliability, maintenance, or rotating equipment engineering.  

– Proven fluency with vibration analyzers, thermal imagers, oil analysis kits, and advanced CMMS platforms.  

– Demonstrated success executing RCM, PdM, and RCFA initiatives that lowered lifecycle costs.  

– Solid command of statistical tools (Weibull, Kaplan-Meier, regression) and reliability software.  

– Excellent written and verbal communication; able to translate data into decisive action.  

– Authorized to work in the United States.

Preferred Skills

– Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional (CMRP) or Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE).  

– Experience in power generation turbines, refinery compressors, or high-pressure pumps.  

– Familiarity with ISO 55000 asset-management frameworks and Industry 4.0 sensors.  

– Competence with Python or R for custom analytics scripts.  

– Change-management aptitude in unionized or multi-site environments.

Why This Role Matters

Unexpected equipment failure bleeds profitability and jeopardizes safety. Your expertise counters that threat, liberating maintenance budgets and elevating plant availability. You will collaborate with cross-functional peers, influence capital-planning decisions, and see your recommendations move the KPI needle—fast.
