About The Position

At Post Consumer Brands, reliability is more than preventing downtime, it’s building a smarter, more resilient operation. As a Reliability Engineer, you’ll be the go‑to partner for maintenance and operations, using data plus hands‑on mechanical understanding to spot risk early, prioritize the right work, and strengthen equipment performance day after day. You’ll blend “in-the-trenches” maintenance knowledge with proactive reliability practices, turning breakdown learnings into prevention, and translating condition insights into action.

Requirements

Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering preferred, but we’re casting a wide net for the right problem‑solver. This could be a traditional engineer, or a seasoned maintenance professional ready to step into a reliability‑focused role.
Experience in a manufacturing environment with strong mechanical understanding; food manufacturing exposure is a plus.
Typically 5+ years in maintenance systems, reliability/asset health work, or maintenance supervision/leadership.
Data‑oriented and process‑minded—able to justify priorities with evidence and communicate recommendations clearly.
Self‑motivated, proactive, and solutions‑driven (you identify problems, build a plan, and drive it to completion).
Comfortable collaborating across functions—working with trades, engineers, and operations to solve problems together.
This is an individual contributor role.
