Reliability Engineering

• Apply reliability methods to reduce repeat failures using data, structured problem
  solving, and condition-based insights (e.g., vibration/alignment/oil analysis/ultrasonic checks where relevant).

• Support reliability strategy activities such as asset criticality, functional analysis, FMEA, and risk-based maintenance planning, helping ensure the right work at the right time.

• Contribute to reliability programs (e.g., RCM-style improvement of maintenance
  strategies) to continually improve performance.
   

Continuous Improvement

• Identify, propose, and implement CI opportunities that improve equipment performance, reduce maintenance waste, and simplify ways of working.

• Participate in improvement projects that increase efficiency and strengthen robustness (e.g., PM optimization, failure & waste analysis, performance monitoring).
   

Collaboration

• Partner closely with Operations, Quality, MSAT teams, and service providers to deliver safe, compliant, and reliable production.
   

What are we looking for?
