About The Position

Lead a Center of Excellence (CoE) and Site Reliability Engineering Team that owns the RMS enterprise-wide program to eliminate risk, optimize maintenance strategy, and drive total cost of ownership (TCO) reduction across 15+ million key square feet (ksf) of manufacturing, laboratory, and office facilities. You will directly manage 10+ Reliability Engineers (REs) who are embedded at individual sites (solid-line reporting to you, dotted-line collaboration with site leadership). This matrix structure ensures global standards, local execution, and unified accountability. Success is defined by MTBF/MTTR gains, PdM maturity, criticality-based sparing, and capital avoidance through data-driven reliability.

Requirements

Technical degree in a related discipline and/or 5+ years previous work experience with direct leadership in an operations or maintenance environment
Strong familiarity with Maximo, SAP, Tririga, Infor or a similar Computerized Maintenance Management System with 4+ years working to utilize data analysis to drive reliability in facilities maintenance programs
Demonstrated Management skills and ability to work on and complete multiple projects and meet deadlines
Knowledge of facilities engineering, construction, and maintenance programs, policies and procedures
Advanced technical knowledge of Facilities and/or Manufacturing equipment with a background in areas like Central Utility Plant, HVAC, controls, electrical, high-pressure systems, hydraulics, and exhaust systems and/or advanced technical knowledge of production operational assets such as CNC machining, Printed Wire Board, Environmental Systems, Paint Operations, etc.

Nice To Haves

Active CMRP or CRE certification
8+ years hands-on reliability engineering or advanced condition-based maintenance in high-uptime manufacturing or R&D facilities environment.
Mastery of FMEA, RCM, RCA methodologies and criticality analysis.
Deployed predictive maintenance (vibration, IR, ultrasound, oil analysis, MCSA) at scale.
Emerging authority on critical MEP infrastructure (chillers, boilers, UPS, generators, CRAHs, switchgear) and production assets (CNC, robotics, process tools, packaging lines).
The candidate will be required to possess key leadership qualities to lead change within a department and drive employee engagement to deliver results
Ability to take ownership and accountability of the Maintenance and Reliability programs while driving and implementing a culture of ownership, accountability and results within the sites
Excellent customer service skills and ability to interpret needs

Responsibilities

Build and govern a single RMS Reliability Program (FMEA, RCM, criticality ranking, PM optimization, predictive technologies, RCA discipline), developing a 2–3-year roadmap and ensure delivery and implementation into the RMS maintenance culture.
Ensure Site Asset Management Improvement Programs such as: Asset criticality Identification, Risk Assessment and Mitigation, Asset Condition Auditing, Preventive and Condition Maintenance Integration, Predictive Strategies, and Asset Refurbishment/Obsolescence Plans are being implemented with measurable success
Implement current and new methodologies, techniques and work practices as they relate to Condition, Preventive and Predictive Based Maintenance
Set technical direction, performance goals, and career development for 10+ direct-report site REs.
Maintain the enterprise maintenance strategy library and enforce adoption via CMMS.
Deliver reliability input into capital planning (replacements, upgrades, redundancy).
Accelerate digital reliability (IoT, AI analytics, digital twin, mobile CMMS).
Manager RMS and site level metrics through KPIs, executive dashboards, and quarterly reliability business reviews and implement practices within sites to deliver results.
Facilitate the Reliability Community of Practice (training, peer reviews, vendor standards).
Ensure site audit readiness
