Senior Engineer, Reliability II

• KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES

Description

• Evaluate and troubleshoot Electrical issues, performance problems to improve mean time repair (MTTR), mean time between failure (MTBF) and increase equipment availability.
• Provide and conduct technical support for Electrical to enhance preventive maintenance strategies, checks, along with predictive maintenance strategies and Operation-based maintenance checks.
• Evaluate new technologies, best practices and alternatives for equipment repair, improvement and come up with the optimum decision.
• Provides Electrical technical support.
• Identifies and develops strategies to ELIMINATE repetitive and major FAILURES for Electrical system and equipment.
• Develop LONG-TERM opportunities for improvement Electrical equipment reliability and availability through applying reliability methodology.
• Identifies and priorities EQUIPMENT CRITICALITY current capability vs bottlenecks/gaps/loss/high-cost contributors to the area.
• Defines, develops and (PMO) OPTIMSES PREVENTATIVE (PM) & PREDICTIVE (PdM) maintenance strategies / technologies / quality / frequency to provide the most cost effective outcome for the business.
• Analyses OEE data collected by Operations, use data to pareto and help establish PRIORITIES to identify and target equipment bad-actors
• Analyse equipment CMMS performance data, equipment history, to identity repetitive and/or costly failure occurrences.
• Understands cost of failures for critical equipment and uses this to identify critical equipment.
• Applies advanced reliability-based tools and processes to investigate to ROOT CAUSE (RCA) equipment failures and provide recommendations for elimination, ensuring corrective actions are linked back to equipment strategies.
