The Reliability Engineer will have a strong passion and drive to eliminate all maintenance losses in the site by using proven technical tools to develop maintenance strategies for both new and existing equipment. This role must be a leader in maintenance improvement tools (PM Optimization, RCM, RCA, FMEA, etc.) and knowledgeable in predictive maintenance tools (Vibration, Ultrasound, Thermography, etc).

What are we looking for?

• Efficiency management skills
• Demonstrated capability to develop effective maintenance strategies to reduce technical losses in manufacturing site
• Knowledge of manufacturing technologies and pipeline practices
• Bachelor’s degree in Technical discipline is preferred or 10 years of related experience in a manufacturing environment
• Proven analytical capability and change management capability

What will be your key responsibilities?

• Guides efforts to ensure reliability and maintainability of equipment, processes, utilities, facilities, controls, and safety/security systems.
• Develop consistent maintenance strategies and processes across Mars Chocolate by working with peers.
• Coordinate with Planner/Scheduler to ensure that PM/PdM(Predictive Maintenance) services and inspections are scheduled and performed when due and that resultant corrective work is promptly prioritized and performed.
• Comprehensive lubrication program (requirements, frequencies, and methods of application).
• Keep up to date with new technologies and processes outside of MWNA (Mars Wrigley North America) that improve reliability. Some of these areas include: Preventive Maintenance, Predictive Maintenance, Equipment Criticality Assessment, & KPIs.
• Supports Planner/Scheduler in development of technical, environmental or complex safety work procedures.
• Ensures that spare parts list, equipment manuals and prints are provided for all new installations and that they are consistent with established standards.
• Logical decision making on assets to Run-To-Failure when appropriate.
• Apply value analysis to repair/replace, repair/redesign, and make/buy decisions.
• Provides technical advice to maintenance area owners.
• Proper operation and care of equipment.
• Present improvement opportunities and plans to Site Leadership Team.
• The maintenance/reliability function must justify its existence on a profit-improvement basis. Quarterly and year-end reports should be generated to this end.
• Support Maintenance Techs who have area responsibility to improve the maintenance strategies for their areas by training, coaching, and assessing the maintenance improvement tools.
• Routinely contributes to the planning of realistic production capacity based upon analysis of preventive maintenance time needs, failure history.
• Develops solutions to repetitive failures and other maintenance problems.
• Implements methods to reduce the need for maintenance and ultimately eliminate the occurrence of failures to increase Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and decrease Mean Time to Repair (MTTR).
• Gate keeper of all new projects and changes at the site to ensure that proper failure mode analysis is applied before the design and installation.
• Vibration, Ultrasound, Infra-red and other predictive analyses and interpretation of results.
• Lead Breakdown Analysis (BDAs) problem solving activities for critical events at site. Train other associates on this process.

• Reduces and improves maintenance work wherever feasible; ensuring efficient and reliable operation of plant, process and equipment while protecting and prolonging the economic life of plant assets at optimal cost.

  • Develops solutions to repetitive failures and other maintenance problems.

  • Identifies and corrects chronic, repetitive and costly equipment problems.

  • Provides technical advice to maintenance area owners.

  • Implements methods to reduce the need for maintenance and ultimately eliminate the occurrence of failures to increase Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and decrease Mean Time to Repair (MTTR).

• Inspections, adjustments, replacements, overhauls for selected equipment.
• Interpret SAP PM maintenance data to generate priorities and action list for improving reliability of site.

• Professionally and systematically define, design, develop, monitor and refine the maintenance strategies for both new and existing equipment at the site. This includes:

  • Proper operation and care of equipment.

  • Comprehensive lubrication program (requirements, frequencies, and methods of application).

  • Inspections, adjustments, replacements, overhauls for selected equipment.

  • Vibration, Ultrasound, Infra-red and other predictive analyses and interpretation of results.

  • Logical decision making on assets to Run-To-Failure when appropriate.

• Identifies and corrects chronic, repetitive and costly equipment problems.
• Achieve and maintain a high level of technical competency in advanced maintenance technology.
• Analyze equipment failure data patterns to establish P-F Curves and Intervals for potential failures and use to appropriately prioritize, plan, and schedule to minimize downtime.
• Lead maintenance improvement programs at site such as: Asset criticality Identification, PM Screening, Equipment Maintenance Strategies, and Asset Refurbishment/Obsolescence Plan.
