  • Lead root cause investigations for equipment failures, production disruptions, and quality issues, ensuring corrective actions are effective and tracked.
  • Partner with plant maintenance teams to refine preventive and predictive maintenance schedules, outage planning, and overall asset management practices.
  • Support continuous improvement by guiding facilities in adopting standardized reliability and maintenance programs.
  • Establish spare parts strategies that balance inventory levels with operational needs, ensuring critical components are available when needed while minimizing carrying costs.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
  • Proven experience in reliability engineering within cement, heavy industry, or continuous process manufacturing environments.
  • Strong understanding of reliability methodologies, condition-based maintenance, and root cause analysis techniques.
  • Experience with predictive maintenance tools and computerized maintenance management systems, particularly SAP.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and project coordination abilities, with a track record of supporting multiple sites remotely.
  • Willingness to travel to plant and corporate locations for audits, meetings, and implementation activities.
