Job Description:

To be based in Carrolton, GA, the “Reliability Engineer” will lead 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.
• 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.
• Serves as the facility RCA process champion and participates in failure analyses to identify corrective actions to eliminate failure modes or reduce the consequence of failure.
• Interacts with reliability engineers at other plants to share findings from failure analysis along with solutions to problems identified.
• Monitors equipment MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) and MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) performance to identify reliability improvement opportunities.
• Examines defects and issues identified during PM and PdM activity and utilizes this information for PM optimization.
• Participates in new and modified equipment design and installations.
• Assists in spare part reviews to ensure adequate stocking levels as determined by consumption due to normal wear and failure frequency.
• Identifies risks of obsolescence and proposes mitigation strategies.
• Introduces tools and techniques in performing preventive and predictive maintenance activity and prescribes frequency of activity through CMMS maintenance plans.
• Provides training and support of precision maintenance processes such as alignment and balancing.
• Develops a world class lubrication program and monitors performance and execution.
• Supports autonomous activities and provides skills training to operations team members.
• Drives proactivity performance through supervision of planners and participation in scheduling activities with planners and coordinators.
• Ensures CMMS users have been trained in system utilization, and audits activity to sustain system integrity.
• Serves as a SAP PM subject matter expert for the plant.

Follows 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.
