Reliability Engineer II 1
About The Position
The Reliability Engineer II creates, implements, and monitors Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) programs to improve equipment reliability, availability, and overall plant performance. The role analyzes equipment condition and performance data to identify potential failures and develop proactive maintenance strategies. The Reliability Engineer manages and supports preventive and predictive maintenance programs, including vibration analysis, oil analysis, thermography, NDT, and other condition-monitoring technologies. Working closely with Maintenance, Operations, Engineering, and Planning teams, the position identifies and eliminates repetitive equipment failures through root cause analysis, FMEA, Pareto analysis, and continuous improvement initiatives. It also supports the development and optimization of PM routines, equipment criticality, maintenance strategies, and reliability metrics such as MTBF and equipment availability. The role provides technical guidance and coaching to plant teams while promoting a strong safety, reliability, and continuous improvement culture.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree.
- Three years of experience.
- Required technical skills in SAP, AutoCAD, Microsoft Project, and Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
- Experience in FFT analysis of vibration spectra on a range of heavy industrial plant equipment.
- Experience in the practical application of FMEA.
- Ability to analyze equipment condition data, identify potential failure mechanisms, and develop appropriate maintenance recommendations.
- Strong analytical, troubleshooting, problem-solving, and communication skills.
- Ability to work effectively with Maintenance, Operations, Engineering, and Planning teams in a field environment.
- Adhere to safety protocols and properly use Amrize-approved PPE, including respirators when required. Employees required to wear respirators must be clean shaven where the respirator seal meets the face to pass fit tests, subject to applicable law.

- Monitor reliability-based systems, including preventive maintenance systems, vibration analysis, and condition monitoring.
- Participate in creating preventive maintenance routines (PMRs) and Bills of Materials (BOMs) for plant equipment.
- Manage preventive and predictive maintenance programs, including inspection, vibration, oil analysis, NDT, and thermography, to support optimum equipment availability.
- Manage the preventive maintenance work order system in coordination with area operations and central maintenance teams.
- Provide leadership, guidance, and direction to the reliability team and plant area teams consistent with company values and the St. Genevieve Belief Statement and Commitments.
- Provide leadership, development, and coaching on individual performance to direct reports to achieve business results.
- Analyze and eliminate repetitive problems using root cause analysis, Pareto analysis, statistical review, FMEA, and similar techniques.
- Facilitate continuous improvement processes focused on equipment availability and reliability.
- Support sustainable improvements in MTBF for major equipment.
- Support the identification and implementation of reliability improvements for critical plant equipment, including rotating equipment and other production-critical assets.
- Analyze equipment failure history, downtime data, condition-monitoring results, and maintenance trends to identify improvement opportunities.
- Support shutdown and turnaround activities by identifying critical inspections, equipment repairs, and reliability improvement opportunities.
- Provide technical support for equipment troubleshooting and failure investigations.
- Promote a culture of safety and adhere to health, safety, and environmental policies.
- Work collaboratively with other team members to achieve goals that support the plant and company.
- Develop and execute equipment reliability improvement plans with Maintenance, Operations, Engineering, and Planning teams.
- Convert condition-monitoring findings into actionable maintenance recommendations and work orders.
- Monitor and communicate reliability indicators, including MTBF, MTTR, equipment availability, planned versus unplanned maintenance, and repeat failures.
- Develop and optimize preventive and predictive maintenance strategies based on equipment criticality and failure modes.
