Position Summary
The Regional Reliability Engineer is responsible for driving reliability improvement initiatives across a network of manufacturing sites within their assigned region. This role supports the development and implementation of standardized engineering tools and methodologies focused on asset performance, failure elimination, and cost-effective maintenance strategies. The role also plays a critical part in supporting OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) improvement by identifying and addressing chronic equipment issues, performance losses, and systemic reliability risks. The Regional Reliability Engineer collaborates closely with site-level teams, regional leadership, and global program owners to build technical capability and deliver measurable reliability results.
 
Key Responsibilities
Asset Reliability & Engineering
o    Lead deployment of reliability tools including Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA), Root Cause Analysis (RCA), and Preventive Maintenance Optimization (PMO)
o    Conduct bad actor analysis, asset criticality reviews, and strategy development for high-priority equipment
o    Partner with maintenance and engineering teams to reduce unplanned downtime and extend asset life
o    Develop asset management plans, including preventive maintenance, spare parts, and service strategies.
 
OEE Performance Support
o    Act as a key technical resource in improving OEE performance at site and regional levels
o    Use OEE data to identify chronic losses (availability, performance, quality) caused by equipment design, condition, or maintenance strategy
o    Partner with operations, planners, and the systems team to validate root causes and drive equipment-level corrective actions
o    Participate in OEE improvement projects, focused on eliminating top loss categories linked to reliability
o    Ensure that downtime tracking, loss classification, and bad actor programs are technically sound and aligned with corporate standards
 
Coaching & Capability Building
o    Mentor site reliability and maintenance resources in applying reliability principles and tools
o    Support the deployment of training related to PM optimization, failure analysis, and reliability-centered maintenance
o    Facilitate cross-site knowledge sharing on equipment-specific learnings and successful reliability practices
 
Program Implementation & Support
o    Support rollout of reliability initiatives and standards within the region
o    Partner with the Global Reliability Engineering Leader to align site activities with strategic priorities
o    Assist in the implementation of Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM), Predictive Maintenance (PdM), and precision maintenance programs
 
Cross-Functional Collaboration
o    Work with site maintenance, production, EHS, and engineering teams to align asset strategies with safety, cost, and performance goals
o    Collaborate with Maintenance Specialists to ensure reliability data is reflected in work order history and condition monitoring systems
o    Provide reliability input during equipment upgrades, redesigns, or major capital investments
 
Qualifications
o    Bachelor's degree in Engineering (or related technical discipline).  Mechanical Engineering preferred.  
o    Fluent English is a requirement
o    +5 years of experience in reliability, maintenance, or operations roles within manufacturing or industrial environments.
o    Strong knowledge of reliability methodologies (RCM, FMEA, RCA, Weibull), PM program design, and equipment performance metrics
o    Experience applying statistics and statistical analysis techniques to support problem-solving, performance monitoring, and reliability improvement efforts.
o    Familiarity with OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) frameworks and production loss analysis
o    Working knowledge of CMMS platforms and PdM tools (vibration, ultrasound, oil analysis, etc.)
o    CMRP, CRE, or equivalent certification preferred
o    Excellent communication, facilitation, and data analysis skills
o    Multisite or regional support experience preferred
 
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
o    % reduction in chronic equipment failures
o    MTBF / MTTR trends for targeted equipment
o    % of OEE losses addressed through reliability-led actions
o    Completion and effectiveness of RCAs and PM optimizations
o    Site capability development and tool adoption rates
