The Opportunity

Why You'll Love This Role

• Lead and shape a reliability program with real organizational visibility
• Direct impact on plant efficiency and equipment performance
• Collaborative, team-oriented environment where you'll work alongside mechanics and operators — not just behind a desk

Your Day-to-Day

• Develop, implement, and continuously improve the plant-wide reliability program — covering equipment, utilities, controls, and safety systems
• Partner with Maintenance, Production, and Engineering teams to ensure new and modified equipment meets reliability and maintainability standards
• Design and refine maintenance strategies, including preventive maintenance tasks and predictive/non-destructive testing methodologies
• Investigate repetitive equipment failures and drive sustainable solutions that protect production output, quality, and compliance
• Provide hands-on technical support during both routine and urgent equipment issues
• Build and deliver training programs that strengthen the Maintenance team's skills and capabilities

What We're Looking For

Education & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, or Industrial preferred)
• 2–4 years of experience in a Reliability Engineering or Reliability Specialist role
• Prior experience in a maintenance role — Manager, Supervisor, or Technician — strongly preferred

Skills & Abilities

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills applied to complex equipment and process challenges
• Detail-oriented with a continuous improvement mindset
• Clear communicator — written, verbal, and in front of a room
• Comfortable working in the field alongside mechanics and operators, including responding to critical equipment issues as needed
• Solid planning and organizational skills
