Reliability Engineer
We're looking for a Reliability Engineer to support a high-volume manufacturing operation focused on improving equipment performance, uptime, and long-term reliability across the plant.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys digging into equipment issues, identifying root causes, and building sustainable solutions-not just reacting to breakdowns.
What You'll Be Doing
- Own and drive equipment reliability initiatives across the plant
- Lead root cause analysis (RCA) and troubleshooting on recurring failures
- Develop and improve preventive maintenance (PM) strategies
- Use CMMS and operational data to identify trends and drive decisions
- Identify high-risk equipment ("bad actors") and prioritize improvement efforts
- Partner closely with maintenance, engineering, and operations teams
- Support and lead projects aimed at improving uptime, efficiency, and performance
- Contribute to building a more proactive, reliability-focused culture
What We're Looking For
- Background in manufacturing engineering, maintenance, or reliability
- Experience troubleshooting equipment and driving long-term fixes
- Exposure to PM optimization, RCA methodologies, or reliability tools (FMEA, RCM, etc.)
- Comfortable working with data, systems, and CMMS platforms
- Ability to work both on the plant floor and cross-functionally with teams
- Strong communication skills and a hands-on, problem-solving mindset
Nice to Have
- Experience in high-volume or continuous manufacturing environments
- Familiarity with condition-based monitoring or predictive maintenance
- CMRP or similar certifications
Why This Role
- Opportunity to own reliability vs. just maintain equipment
- High visibility across operations, engineering, and leadership
- Ability to make a direct impact on uptime and plant performance
