This position is responsible for the equipment reliability and maintenance strategy of utility and manufacturing equipment through continuous monitoring and analyzing of equipment operational performance and initiating preventive actions needed for improvement (Reliability-Centered Maintenance). This position works collaboratively with the global Maintenance & Utilities Excellence organization to ensure alignment with the global reliability strategy.

• Role that this position reports to: Sr Manager, Reliability Engineering
  

• Creation of maintenance strategies for new, critical plants (utilities and manufacturing) as a basis for the creation of maintenance plans.

• Use reliability engineering tools like data analysis techniques (statistical process control, reliability modeling and prediction, fault tree analysis, Six Sigma (6σ) methodology, machine learning algorithms etc.), root cause analysis (RCA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and failure reporting, analysis, and corrective action system (FRACAS ) in accordance with global standards to analyze maintenance and integrity data trends.
  
• Develop predictive maintenance models to forecast equipment failures and implement proactive maintenance actions, minimizing unplanned downtime and extending equipment lifespan.
  
• Identify and implement opportunities for reliability and mechanical integrity improvement to enhance equipment uptime and performance.
  
• Develop KPI dashboards to visualize reliability data and performance metrics, enabling better decision-making and communication of reliability improvements to stakeholders to showcase improvements in maintenance and mechanical integrity practices.
  
• Measure and report reliability and mechanical integrity performance metrics such as Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), equipment downtime, and maintenance costs.
  
  

• Oversee mechanical integrity programs to ensure the safe and reliable operation of pressure vessels, piping systems, and rotating equipment.
  
• Implement and manage risk-based inspection (RBI) programs to ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements (API, ASME, OSHA).
  
• Ensure that all equipment meets mechanical integrity standards through regular inspections and the application of non-destructive testing (NDT) methods.
  
  

• Ensure CMMS data integrity to support preventive, predictive, and condition-based maintenance processes, including mechanical integrity requirements.
  
• Oversee maintenance planning processes and the evaluation of new predictive technologies in closed collaboration with the global Maintenance & Utilities Excellence organization to be aligned with the global strategy.
  
• Lead the application of predictive maintenance (PdM) technologies and non-destructive testing (NDT) methods to minimize downtime and ensure the structural integrity of critical assets.
  
  

• Ensure close and collaborated cooperation in this area with the global Maintenance & Utilities Excellence organization to be aligned with the global strategy.
  
• Implement and manage condition-based monitoring programs using IoT and sensor-based technologies to monitor the health and mechanical integrity of critical assets.
  
• Utilize real-time sensor data to detect early signs of equipment degradation and initiate proactive actions.
  

• Bachelor degree in Mechanical, Electrical or Industrial Engineering preferred or M.S. degree in an Engineering related field
  
• 5-7 years' experience with relevant experience in maintenance engineering, mechanical integrity, or reliability engineering, preferably in the pharmaceutical or manufacturing industry.
  
• Certified in Data Analysis (Preferred but not required).
  
• Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional (CMRP) (Preferred but not required).
  
• Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE) (Preferred but not required).
  
• Certified in Mechanical Integrity (API 510, 570, or 653 certification preferred).
  
• Demonstrated knowledge of reliability engineering concepts such as Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM), and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA).
  
• Hands-on experience with failure analysis methodologies (RCFA) and process improvement principles such as Lean and/or Six Sigma.
  
• Strong proficiency in computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS).
  
• Familiarity with tools like Power BI, QlickSense, for creating interactive visualizations and dashboards (plus).
  
• Familiarity with cloud platforms like SAP 4/HANA.
  
• Experience with AI/ML project deployment pipelines (plus).
  
• In-depth knowledge of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), FDA standards, and other regulatory guidance.
  
• Strong verbal, technical writing, and interpersonal skills.
  
• Ability to work cross-functionally, collaborate with various teams, and solve complex technical problems.
