This position is the organization's technical expert in Reliability Engineering.

This role is responsible for driving the application and development of advanced reliability engineering practices across global operations, with a focus on technical depth, analytics, and standard methodologies. While the Global Reliability & Maintenance Leader defines overall strategy, this position ensures the effective deployment of reliability engineering tools, systems, and capabilities that align with that strategy. 

Key Responsibilities 

Corporate Program Ownership - OEE 

• Serve as the program owner for the corporate OEE strategy and governance model 

• Define standard OEE calculation logic, loss categorization (availability, performance, quality), and data granularity 

• Partner with the Global Systems Leader and Process Automation to ensure consistent and automated data collection across all plants 

• Provide guidance and methodology for downtime tracking, root cause attribution, and bad actor identification 

• Develop OEE playbooks, training content, and reporting tools that support plant-level adoption and continuous improvement 

• Analyze global OEE trends to identify systemic constraints and inform capital investment or reliability focus areas 

• Work closely with other GSOS and Operations teams to embed OEE within broader performance management systems 

Technical Leadership & Capability Building 

• Serve as the enterprise subject matter expert (SME) for reliability tools and best practices 

• Lead a community of regional and site reliability resources to ensure technical consistency 

• Build and deploy global reliability training programs, including certification for reliability roles 

• Mentor regional reliability resources and develop talent pipelines for technical leadership roles 

Program Management & Standardization 

• Develop and maintain global standards, templates, and workflows for failure analysis, asset criticality ranking, and maintenance strategy optimization 

• Support the implementation of predictive and condition-based maintenance technologies 

• Coordinate alignment between reliability programs and digital systems (CMMS, PdM platforms, analytics tools) 

Collaboration & Integration 

• Collaborate with Engineering, EHS, Quality, Manufacturing, and Capital Project teams to embed reliability principles across the asset lifecycle 

• Support Regional R&M Leaders in deploying and sustaining reliability initiatives at the site level 

• Act as a global integrator of asset knowledge, OEE insights, and failure data across the organization 

Qualifications: 

• Bachelor's or master's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Reliability, or Industrial Engineering 

• +7 years of experience in reliability engineering, maintenance, or asset performance in a manufacturing or industrial environment 

• Proven leadership of reliability programs at scale, including hands-on experience with OEE implementation and process improvement 

• Deep understanding of reliability tools (RCM, RCA, FMEA), maintenance optimization, and production loss analysis 

• Experience with OEE tools and production performance dashboards; Power BI, CMMS, and downtime tracking systems 

• Strong collaboration, communication, and coaching capabilities 

• CMRP, CRE, or similar certifications preferred 

• Global or multi-site experience strongly preferred 

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) 

• Global trends in MTBF, MTTR, equipment availability, and downtime reduction 

• % of sites adopting and sustaining global reliability standards 

• Reduction in chronic equipment failures and top-tier bad actors 

• Capability maturity across global reliability teams 

• ROI from reliability-led capital avoidance or cost-saving initiatives
