• Utilize reliability tools such as:- FMEA (Failure Modes & Effects Analysis)

  • RCA / RCFA
  • Weibull analysis (preferred)

• Partner with maintenance and operations teams to reduce unplanned downtime

• Optimize maintenance plans and spare parts strategies

• Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) such as:- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures)

  • MTTR (Mean Time to Repair)
  • Equipment uptime and availability

• Support capital projects by providing reliability input on equipment design and selection

• Implement condition monitoring techniques (vibration analysis, thermography, oil analysis, etc.)

• Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on safety, quality, and efficiency

• Ensure compliance with safety and regulatory standards

Qualifications
