• Leads and develops a high-performing team of engineers and specialists through servant leadership and reliability competencies while fostering a People First culture where members feel valued, respected, and supported
• Leads the equipment criticality assessment program, including the governing methodology and procedure, cross-functionalassessment sessions, and maintenance of criticality rankings in the CMMS; partners with Process Engineering and Quality, who ownprocess and product impact determinations, and ensures criticality drives maintenance strategy, work prioritization, and spare partsstocking
• Leads RCM and failure mode and effects analyses on critical assets to identify functional failures, failure modes, and consequences, and to select the most effective maintenance tasks, ensuring strategies are implemented in the CMMS and in controlled documents
• Establishes and scales the CBM program in phases, including technology selection (e.g., vibration analysis, infrared thermography,ultrasound, oil analysis, motor circuit analysis), route design, baseline and alarm limits, data trending, and integration of findings intothe work management process
• Develops and implements the mechanical integrity program for pressure vessels, piping systems, pressure relief devices, and otherpressure-retaining and safety-critical equipment, including inspection and test plans, jurisdictional requirements, deficiencymanagement, and records retention
• Partners with Maintenance Operations and Process Engineering to optimize preventive maintenance content and intervals usingfailure history and condition data, ensuring every change is supported by trended evidence, risk-assessed, and implemented throughformal change control
• Leads root cause failure analysis for significant, repeat, and GMP-impacting equipment failures, supports maintenance-relateddeviations, and verifies the effectiveness of resulting corrective and preventive actions
• Defines and monitors reliability indicators (e.g., mean time between failures, mean time to repair, equipment availability, PM and CBMcompliance, reactive versus planned work, repeat failures) and leads elimination of bad-actor equipment
• Ensures equipment hierarchy, failure codes, and reliability data in the CMMS are structured to support analysis (e.g., ISO 14224taxonomy) and meet data integrity expectations
• Defines critical spares requirements and reliability-based stocking recommendations from criticality and failure analysis in partnershipwith the spare parts program
• Provides reliability and maintainability input to capital projects, equipment specifications, and commissioning and qualification, andensures newly turned-over assets receive a criticality ranking and maintenance strategy
• Authors and maintains controlled reliability procedures, supports change controls, deviations, and CAPA, and represents the reliabilityprogram during regulatory inspections and internal audits
