Mechanical Reliability Engineer

Overview The Mechanical Reliability Engineer is generally responsible for typical reliability engineering duties including strategic development and optimization of asset strategies through loss elimination, risk management, and life cycle asset management. Furthermore, this individual will be responsible for facilitating root cause analysis of plant or business operations failures and helping to prioritize outage work orders based upon risk and criticality. Duties Providing professional engineering services in partnership with other Teammates and client representatives on projects. Leading Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) teams including the use of the Apollo RCFA method where appropriate. Analyzing mechanical failures and recommending corrective action. Lead Reliability-Focused Failure Modes and Effects Analysis teams where appropriate. Maintain continued education in the vibration, thermography, and lubrication fields to recommend improvements to current practices. Identify and develop work sharing packages for interoffice execution support, providing leadership as appropriate to ensure communication and execution of work. All other duties assigned. Qualifications Bachelor or Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited university is required. Requires 5 or more years of relevant industrial experience. KnowledgeExtensive experience in rotating machinery reliability (pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, agitators, gearboxes, bearings, mechanical seals, couplings). Demonstrated success in the application of advanced reliability tools such RCM, RCA, RBI, FMEA, apportionment methods, etc. Extensive knowledge in the use and application of Predictive and Preventive Technologies (vibration, lubricant and fluid analysis, infrared, alignment, balancing, and other NDT technologies as it applies to rotating machinery and fixed equipment). Extensive experience with Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) such as Maximo and SAP Maintenance Module. Knowledge and understanding of human factors in reliability. Ability to plan and schedule routine and shutdown maintenance activities. General understanding of corrosion mechanisms, prevention, and materials selection. Ability to maintain reliability program management over the entire equipment life cycle. Ability to accurately estimate completion of assigned tasks.
