Research and evaluate performance and reliability losses of existing plant assets, leading efforts to enhance asset availability and achieve world-class Overall Equipment Effectiveness targets. Reliability Engineering Support:
Provide expert reliability engineering support and coaching to core engineering and maintenance teams. Data Analysis and Best Practices:
Analyse operational data to recommend best practices, propose methods to reduce lost production, identify performance improvement opportunities, and deliver robust, cost-effective solutions. System and Procedure Development:
Develop systems, procedures, and methodologies to boost asset availability and reliability. Root Cause Analysis:
Lead root cause analysis of major component failures, implementing changes to prevent recurrence. Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA):
Conduct FMEA on existing assets, identifying weaknesses and opportunities to eliminate potential failures. Reliability Strategy Development:
Develop equipment reliability strategies based on FMEA output, bad actor analysis, asset criticality review, and equipment failure data, including defining spare parts strategy. Project Involvement:
Participate in the design and installation stages of new projects, ensuring new assets integrate seamlessly into the existing Asset Management Strategy. External Collaboration:
Work with suppliers, contractors, and equipment manufacturers to identify innovative solutions for existing asset failures and define new equipment specifications. Customer Focus:
Define and meet short-term and long-term objectives, taking personal accountability for delivering on agreed targets. Cost Reduction and Plant Availability:
Lead targeted initiatives to reduce manufacturing costs by minimising equipment failures and improving plant availability. Mentorship and Development:
Support the development and mentoring of others in equipment reliability processes and techniques. Experience and Skills:
Reliability Engineering: Proven track record of delivering reliability improvements using tools like FMEA and Reliability Centered Maintenance. Experience in leading complex root cause analysis and risk mitigation techniques. Strong engineering background with expertise in discipline standards and hazard reviews. Excellent technical authoring skills for data-driven decisions and KPI visualization. Leadership: Extensive experience in developing and implementing reliability programs and training teams. Proven leadership and mentoring skills. Strategic Planning: Ability to develop and achieve long-term strategic plans for asset reliability and maintenance. Innovative Problem-Solving: Track record of implementing innovative solutions and leveraging new technologies to enhance reliability.
