Job summary

Duruper is seeking a senior Reliability Engineer to improve asset reliability and reduce operational risk in its utility assets. You will lead structured FMEA/FMECA, RCA, and RBI programs, analyse failures, and develop risk-based maintenance strategies aligned with business goals.

You will translate findings into maintenance plans, spare parts strategies, and capital investment priorities, and present recommendations to stakeholders with clear technical reporting.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in reliability engineering, preferably within power utilities or the energy sector.
• Strong experience in FMEA/FMECA, RCA, and RBI methodologies.
• Knowledge of utility assets, equipment failure mechanisms, and maintenance practices.
• Experience analysing failure history, outage records, and maintenance data.
• Proficiency in criticality assessment, risk modelling, and reliability analysis.
• Hands-on experience facilitating failure analysis workshops and implementing corrective actions.
• CRE (ASQ), CMRP, or relevant RCA/FMEA/RBI certifications or training preferred.

Responsibilities

• Facilitate FMEA/FMECA workshops across different asset classes and develop failure-mode libraries.
• Identify failure causes, effects, detectability, criticality, and risk rankings.
• Analyse historical failure data, defects, outages, and maintenance work orders.
• Conduct RCA for major, recurring, and high-impact equipment failures.
• Apply RBI and risk-based prioritisation methodologies to optimise inspection and maintenance activities.
• Use fault-tree analysis, Weibull analysis, 5-Why, and fishbone techniques to investigate failures.
• Quantify risk reduction and recommend corrective and preventive actions.
• Translate reliability findings into maintenance plans, spare-parts strategies, and capital investment priorities.
• Prepare technical reports and present reliability improvement recommendations to stakeholders.
