As a Maintenance & Reliability Engineer youll be at the forefront of our innovation driving specialty chemical solutions forward. Youll collaborate with a diverse group of passionate individuals to deliver sustainable solutions to advance mobility improve wellbeing and enhance modern life.

As a Maintenance & Reliability Engineer you will provide both strategic reliability leadership and hands-on maintenance engineering support to improve equipment availability reduce downtime and optimize asset performance. You will partner with Operations Maintenance and cross-functional teams to deliver sustainable and reliable production.

In this role you will:

• Conduct Criticality Screening and Risk Analysis to identify critical equipment and Balance of Plant (BOP) equipment.
• Champion and implement Asset Strategies in alignment with equipment criticality and business needs.
• Support development and execution of the 3-year Reliability Improvement Plan including Asset Availability performance history and improvement goals related to Equipment Reliability.
• Select the appropriate Risk Management Strategy or Alternative Failure Management Strategy and develops / implements Equipment Maintenance Strategies (EMSs) for each piece of critical equipment and generic EMSs for BOP equipment.
• Support PPM Coordinator for reviews of existing plans for effectiveness and applicability based on the Risk Management Strategy Alternative Failure Management Strategy vendor information RCM tools historical equipment reliability issues results of PPM etc. Add delete and/or modify existing PPM to eliminate low value PPM on BOP equipment and effectively manage risk on critical equipment. Note: Include PPM services as required on parts and spare equipment to ensure warehoused part / equipment quality is maintained during storage (e.g. shaft rotation motor heater check).
• Evaluate and implement available Equipment Condition Monitoring techniques and new technology to improve productivity effectiveness and value of equipment condition monitoring program.
• Support PPM Coordinator to ensure that documentation of findings of PPM and Corrective Maintenance activities are properly documented in CMMS so that evaluations can be done.

• Analyze production loss accounting data and cost data to develop and prioritize a list of reliability opportunities.
• Facilitate Root Cause Analysis and RCM studies utilizing reliability engineering tools such as Weibull and FMEA for events that meet the incident triggers. Implement effective corrective actions / improvements.
• Perform value engineering activities for projects design Reliability / Maintenance input PMs BOMs equipment selection criticality etc.
• Ensure new equipment is integrated into appropriate systems tools processes strategies etc. prior to being put into Service.
• Perform periodic gap assessments between the Asset Reliability Plan Equipment Maintenance Strategies and PPM plans to identify gaps vs. current reliability performance cost and asset availability. Identify and implement corrective actions / improvements to eliminate low value PPM (e.g. extend intervals between PPM) or other work while effectively managing risk in terms of mechanical integrity EHS production maintenance cost etc.
• Implement periodic plant equipment / facility audits to proactively monitor plant condition and prevent unplanned deterioration of assets.
• Support PPM Coordinator to optimize spare parts / equipment inventory.
• Champion use of Management of Change process for changes modifications deletions to equipment materials parts consumables and related Operating Discipline.

• Provide technical expertise to plant personnel on troubleshooting failures repairs and evaluatewhether equipment is designed to meet its intended or existing service conditions.
• For equipment that is critical for the process ensure that work requests include engineering input on repair details such as clearances tolerances materials of construction welding procedures etc.
• Ensure repairs repair techniques and equipment-specific training are made available and documented.
• Support development of Maintenance & Operating procedures (i.e. proper steps for starting / stopping a pump etc.).
• Serve as a technical resource to the planner and crafts as needed to ensure standards are followed.
• During development of turnaround work provide input on development of work orders particularly on critical equipment requiring Engineering review or input.
• Work with the Maintenance Technologist on following jobs internally and externally to ensure quality repairs.
• Support the Maintenance Technologist in training Crafts Operations etc.
