Asset Reliability Engineer, Precision Maintenance Systems

Job Description

A day in the life
- ----------------

You start by walking the line with the maintenance team, reinforcing the ATS safety culture and confirming regulatory and policy compliance. A bottleneck shows up in production; you partner with internal and external customer stakeholders to design an engineered fix that boosts throughput without sacrificing reliability. In a reliability strategy session, you review Work Execution Management (WEM) gaps, mentor techs on improvements, and schedule a Root Cause session on a recurring bad actor. After lunch, you refine an Equipment-Specific Maintenance Plan (ESMP) rooted in Reliability-Centered Maintenance principles, then build the ROI case for a targeted capital replacement. You close the day by aligning ATS and customer KPIs with leadership and by updating precision maintenance actions based on predictive insights.

How you'll make an impact
- ------------------------

* Champion a precision reliability culture while rigorously promoting and adhering to ATS safety practices.
* Ensure compliance with applicable regulations and ATS policies and procedures.
* Partner with customer teams to craft engineered solutions that elevate reliability and throughput.
* Spot capital investment opportunities for equipment replacement and clearly communicate ROI.
* Embed operating systems, critical elements, and best practices to drive precision maintenance.
* Apply precision tools and techniques confidently in daily work.
* Own RCM deliverables including development and optimization of ESMPs.
* Collaborate with maintenance on predictive, preventive, and precision strategies that identify and mitigate risk before failure and enable optimal work execution.
* Conduct and facilitate FMEA to prevent recurrence and improve design and maintenance tactics.
* Use advanced WEM knowledge to coach and train, closing gaps revealed during reliability sessions.
* Lead and teach ATS Root Cause, Bad Actor elimination, and Fault Tree Analysis.
* Align ATS and customer KPIs with site leadership to sustain results.
