About This Role
This role is for a Reliability Engineer to mature the asset reliability program for a 1.2 million square foot advanced aerospace manufacturing facility. It suits a mechanical, electrical, or industrial engineering background, or equivalent hands-on experience in facilities maintenance and reliability. You will refine an existing framework, criticality, and PM strategy by strengthening data and metrics, and by serving as the technical point of contact for the Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) provider.
Responsibilities
- Support Criticality-Based Maintenance Strategy: Refine PM task frequencies and failure mode logic within the site's criticality framework. Apply differentiated maintenance logic to N+1 systems, including chillers, pumps, and air handlers
- Maintain PM Program Standards: Maintain and improve maintenance work standards, including task scope, frequency, and failure modes, across critical mechanical equipment. Recommend program adjustments to leadership as operating data matures
- Track and Report Reliability KPIs: Track core reliability metrics, including preventive to reactive ratio, schedule compliance, mean time between failures, and backlog age. Identify and close data gaps limiting accurate metric reporting
- Coordinate with IFM Planning: Serve as technical point of contact for IFM planning and scheduling. Coach the IFM planner on work order quality, job scoping, and parts staging. Validate IFM asset replacement assessments against failure history and criticality
- Conduct Root Cause and Failure Analysis: Conduct RCA and FMEA for significant or recurring equipment failures. Translate findings into PM strategy updates
- Support Audit Readiness: Maintain maintenance records and failure history in a form that supports regulatory and quality audits, including FAA, ISO, and AS9100 requirements. Apply asset management principles, such as ISO 55000, to keep maintenance decisions traceable
- Support Critical Spares Strategy: Identify critical spare parts based on failure modes, lead time, and redundancy. Validate IFM's spares inventory levels against criticality and failure history
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or a related STEM field
- Minimum of 3 years of experience in industrial or manufacturing facilities maintenance and reliability
- Demonstrated experience developing a maintenance reliability program from an early or undeveloped state into a fully structured, mature system
- Hands-on working knowledge of facilities equipment including HVAC, compressed air systems, and electrical distribution
- SAP PM module experience including functional location structure, equipment master record configuration, and maintenance task list development
- Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident)
