Description
Reliability-Engineer
*SUMMARY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES*
A Reliability Engineer is responsible for ensuring that equipment, systems, and processes perform consistently and dependably over their intended lifecycle. This role focuses on improving asset reliability, reducing downtime, and implementing long-term engineering solutions that enhance performance, safety, and cost efficiency.
Key Responsibilities
1. Asset Reliability & Performance
Monitor equipment performance and analyze failure data to identify trends, root causes, and improvement opportunities.
Develop and implement reliability improvement plans for critical equipment.
Participate in
Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
using methods such as 5-Why, Fishbone, or FMEA.
2. Predictive & Preventive Maintenance
Design and optimize predictive maintenance strategies (vibration analysis, thermography, oil analysis, NDE Inspection, etc.).
Support maintenance teams in developing preventive maintenance procedures.
Maintain reliability models and equipment histories.
3. Engineering Analysis & Optimization
Evaluate equipment design and recommend modifications to improve reliability or reduce life-cycle costs.
Perform risk assessments and reliability modeling (e.g. RBM, TPM, RCM, etc).
Review system specifications to ensure alignment with reliability standards.
4. Cross-Functional Collaboration
Work closely with maintenance, operations, engineering, and safety teams.
Provide technical support during equipment failures or downtime events.
Lead multidisciplinary meetings to implement reliability improvements.
5. Documentation & Reporting
Maintain accurate documentation of reliability programs, KPIs, and failure reports.
Track and report reliability metrics (MTBF, MTTR, OEE, downtime trends).
Develop and deliver reliability training for technicians and operations groups.
Soft Skills
