Position Purpose & Summary
The Reliability Engineer is responsible to achieve the plant reliability objectives and will include: Deployment of RCM, RCA, PdM & PM program, and the Asset Management Program:

• To increase plant reliability, performance efficiency and effectiveness, plant throughput
• To minimize unscheduled/unplanned plant interruptions
• To reduce costs

The position is part of the Maintenance organisation and is required to identify and deploy pro-active maintenance work with the purpose to prevent functional failure of assets, and hence achieve the organisational reliability objectives. This prime purpose of the position is focus on doing the right (pro-active) work to ensure assets continue to perform at best total cost for which this position will be accountable. The position is responsible to manage the Asset Management Program and improving the Asset Health of the plant by: identifying condition monitoring- and other pro-active maintenance requirements, identifying and eliminating early onset of failure and eliminating root cause. The activity includes the deployment of predictive maintenance techniques such as (but not limited to) Vibration Analyses, Oil Analyses, Infra Red Analyses, Ultra Sound Analyses, and Motor Current Evaluation. In addition the position will identify and deploy preventive maintenance activities as needed to prevent functional failures of assets, systems and processes.

Principal Accountabilities
1.Asset reliability40%
 (a) Deploy RCM principles
(b) To be able to use the RCM methodology to determine the right maintenance requirements.
 (a) Manage and lead RCM or FMEA processes with cross-functional disciplines.
(b) To determine function, capability, functional failure modes, probability of failure, clarify impact/severity and identify acceptable risk.
 (a) Review repetitive failures and conduct inspections of the plant facilities. Manage and be the leader of the RCFA process within Maintenance organisation, keep the initiative alive and train personnel.
(b) To develop improvement ideas, together with technicians and Maintenance Planner. To increase the capabilities inline with new technologies and to increase a culture focussed on solutions based on basic causes.
 (a) Analyse bad actor list of the assets and facilitate solutions.
b) To improve plant reliability, optimize plant throughput and reduce avoidable maintenance costs.
 (a) Lead, organize and report downtime meetings.
(b) To increase the capabilities inline with new technologies and helps to develop a culture focussed on solutions

2.Asset Management Program / P(d)M Program 25%
 (a) Take ownership of and lead / review the Criticality Assessment of all (new) assets. Based on the results, determine the functional failures and pro-active work (Predictive Maintenance (PdM) and Preventive Maintenance (PM) to prevent those from happening.
(b) To make sure each asset is monitored and maintained according to the right priority and criticality.
 (a) Responsible for monitoring, improving and reporting Asset Health. (b) Asset Health is an indicator for asset reliability of the plant. Good Asset Health results in a more reliable plant (less downtime, higher throughput), better efficiency of maintenance costs and results in doing less failure maintenance and doing more pro-active maintenance
 (a) Coordinate all PdM contracts for agreed results.
(b) To measure and secure an upward trend of the Asset Health. To identify and implement opportunities for improvement of the Asset Health.
 (a) Conduct/coordinate training in PdM technologies/issues for (new) personnel.
(b) To maintain the PdM process and personnel up to date.
 (a) Communicate all P(d)M issues to the Maintenance Manager and being the team-leader for appropriate actions.
(b) To make sure management is informed and can follow up.
 (a) Responsible for developing P(d)M plans/schedules for equipment that must be based on RCM methodology. Being the team-leader for technicians and the Maintenance Planner in the reliability process.
(b) To establish the required maintenance needed to preserve asset function.
 (a) Responsible for updating and improving the P(d)M program and update current P(d)M plans/schedules in Asset Management System. Review the P(d)M program if there are changing conditions.
(b) To establish cycles of refinement and a sustainable reliability process.
 (a) Report KPI’s monthly
(b) To trend improvements of assets on performance.

3.Critical Inventory optimization 25%
 (a) Responsible to identify critical spares
(b) To ensure the right critical spares are available when needed
 (a) Identify pro-active work to preserve condition of critical spares
(b) To ensure critical spares are in good condition when needed.

4.Work execution and improvement process 10%
 a) Review of all new work order requests for planning and scheduling with the Planner.
(b) To investigate scope of work orders and prioritize work orders to be scheduled.
 (a) Provide pro-active work (=PdM and PM) input to the scheduling function
(b) To enable scheduling of pro-active work.
 (a) Evaluate completed work to identify the effectiveness and results.
(b) To refine future pro-active work and address required follow up work.
