About The Position

JLL is seeking a Reliability Engineer to join their Work Dynamics team. This role is responsible for providing reliability engineering support for the operations and maintenance of buildings, infrastructure, and equipment assets. The Reliability Engineer will implement a strategic asset management plan, integrate client systems, and develop analysis methods to determine reliability. They will acquire and analyze data from connected systems, improve maintenance program strategies, conduct maintenance maturity assessments, and oversee root cause failure analysis (RCFA) of equipment failures. Considerations will be given to cost limitations, uptime/downtime, repair/replacement costs, and material availability. The role involves determining cost advantages of alternatives and developing action plans to comply with customer demands for reliability processes and equipment to avoid failures. There are opportunities for growth and career development, including potential management of junior staff and support for achieving external qualifications in RAM.

Maintain complete and accurate records/plans within computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) related to equipment, specifications data, BOM, failure history, etc.
Develop and maintain “Key Performance Indicators" of equipment reliability.
Ensure that the appropriate Maintenance and Reliability metrics are in place throughout the site, (planned/unplanned work, planning/scheduling metrics, cost metrics, MTBF, replacement asset value, etc.).
Ensure equipment history is maintained and analyzed for future trends.
Actively collaborate with Maintenance and Planning groups.
Execute multi-discipline facility condition assessments across multiple labs, manufacturing, office, and distribution locations in the Americas. Inspect and document and prioritize asset and field conditions to evaluate remaining useful life.
Compile and prioritize portfolio wide findings for client capital planning and lifecycle asset management programs.
Supports commissioning activities for all upgrade, renovation, and construction projects which may include, but is not limited to, PM job plans, reviews for maintainability, critical spares, documentation, etc.
