Reliability Engineer

• Support the development and execution of risk‑based maintenance and inspection strategies for mission‑critical power and cooling systems. 

• Apply RCM concepts to evaluate maintenance effectiveness and identify improvement opportunities. 

• Assist in assessing tradeoffs between maintenance activities, operational risk, redundancy, and lifecycle cost. 

• Participate in PM quality reviews, task validations, and efforts to remove low‑value maintenance. 

Operations Support & Change Risk 

• Review SOPs, MOPs, and EOPs to support operational readiness and risk mitigation. 

• Assist with system‑level risk assessments for planned work and abnormal operating conditions. 

• Partner with site teams to improve CMMS data quality and work management discipline. 

• Support reliability investigations and follow‑up actions under the direction of senior engineers. 

Data Analysis & Condition Monitoring 

• Contribute to condition‑monitoring programs such as oil analysis, thermography, vibration, battery monitoring, and controls analytics. 

• Analyze equipment performance data to identify early signs of degradation or reliability risk. 

• Develop basic reliability metrics and trending to support proactive decision‑making. 

• Translate analytical findings into recommended actions for maintenance or risk reduction. 

Critical Spares & Lifecycle Support 

• Assist in maintaining site and portfolio critical spares recommendations. 

• Identify spares gaps and support corrective actions with Supply Chain and Operations. 

• Participate in asset condition assessments to inform lifecycle planning and capital discussions. 

• Support preparation of data and analysis for capital project justifications. 

Incidents, RCA & Continuous Improvement 

• Participate in RCAs and FMEAs for operational incidents and near misses. 

• Help identify contributing factors related to design, maintenance, or procedures. 

• Track corrective actions to ensure lessons learned are implemented and sustained. 

• Support continuous improvement initiatives aimed at reducing repeat failures and risk. 

Collaboration & Professional Development 

• Work closely with Senior Reliability Engineers, site engineers, and operations teams. 

• Build proficiency in reliability methods, root cause analysis, and data interpretation. 

• Contribute to the improvement of reliability standards, templates, and playbooks. 

• Continue developing technical and analytical capability within mission‑critical systems. 

Qualifications 

• B.S. in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Industrial, or other related technical field of study) or equivalent industry experience. 

• 3–7 years of experience in reliability engineering, maintenance engineering, or facilities engineering. 

• Working knowledge of RCM, RCA, and FMEA concepts. 

• Foundational understanding of mission‑critical infrastructure such as UPS, generators, switchgear, chillers, cooling towers, CRAH/CRAC units, and BMS/EPMS. 

• Experience supporting maintenance programs or operational risk assessments in live environments. 

• Ability to analyze CMMS, condition‑monitoring, and operational data to identify trends. 

• Proficiency with Excel and basic data visualization tools. 

• Clear written and verbal communication skills; able to present findings to technical and operations teams. 

Preferred Experience 

• Exposure to predictive maintenance or condition‑based monitoring programs. 

• Familiarity with basic data analysis or scripting tools (Excel advanced functions, Power BI, or similar). 

• Introductory experience with Python, R, or SQL is a plus. 

• General familiarity with applicable codes and standards (NFPA, IEEE, ASHRAE). 

Work Conditions 

• Supports 24×7 mission‑critical operations; may support after‑hours activities as needed. 

• Ability to work safely around energized equipment in compliance with safety procedures. 

• Travel to supported sites up to approximately 25%.
