About The Position

Joining the Metallus team means becoming part of a legacy that dates back over a century. We are an industry leader, manufacturing the cleanest steel in the world for companies in the industrial, aerospace and defense, automotive, and energy markets. Relocation will not be offered for this position. Purpose and Scope This role is part of Engineering, Manufacturing Excellence, & Reliability and is responsible for improving work force productivity and asset reliability by eliminating potential delays and costs caused by repeat failures and by leading the effort to improve asset reliability. The reliability engineer will lead the effort to standardize, promote, and implement reliability programs focused on the overall life cycle cost of the assets which include material, services, and internal/external labor. All activities and responsibilities are intended to proactively improve asset reliability to increase plant productivity, improve performance, and reduce total cost of operation/ownership. It is recognized that manufacturing steel is an extremely asset intensive business whereas this key position is required to support these endeavors. The reliability engineer works across plant boundaries to harmonize these standard practices dealing with asset reliability and design.

Requirements

• Exposure to life cycle cost analysis
• Ability to read and understand engineered drawings
• Familiarity with CMMS, Maximo preferred
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Expert with Microsoft Office
• High School Diploma or equivalent with at least 5 years of experience in planning and scheduling, reliability engineering, spares inventory, and/or steel manufacturing.
• Associate's Degree in Engineering, Business, Economics, Statistics or related with at least 2 years of experience in planning and scheduling, reliability engineering, spares inventory, and/or steel manufacturing.

Nice To Haves

• High School Diploma or equivalent with at least 7 years of experience in planning and scheduling, reliability engineering, spares inventory, and/or steel manufacturing.
• Associate's Degree in Engineering, Business, Economics, Statistics or related with at least 4 years of experience in planning and scheduling, reliability engineering, spares inventory, and/or steel manufacturing.
• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, Business, Economics, Statistics or related with at least 2 years of experience in planning and scheduling, reliability engineering, spares inventory, and/or steel manufacturing.
• Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional (CMRP) or equivalent

Responsibilities

• Leads teams to develop strategies directed at optimized asset performance, including but not limited to asset standardization, qualifications for internal/external repairs, asset specifications, replacement strategies, criticality assessment process, elimination of repeat asset failures, and lowering overall life cycle costs.
• Analyzes complex asset data with multiple goals: monitoring current processes, development of new KPIs, data mining for continuous improvement opportunities, cost/benefit analysis of future projects/process implementations. Assimilates data from multiple databases and formats to accomplish this task. Various analysis techniques are required, for example: SPS, Weilbull, Six Sigma, RCA, NPV, FMEA, etc. There may also be times when needed data is not collected, which would require development of an appropriate collection system.
• Champions the recommendation of projects brought to light during an analysis. Projects may be local to a specific area/asset or business wide process implementations. Leads the implementation of these projects.
• Promotes reliability practices across the business. Consult publications and professional societies to identify, develop, and maintain key metrics that measure the effectiveness of the maintenance business processes, developing methods of data collection where appropriate. Develop and lead plans to improve performance in areas where the metrics lag from Best Practices (as identified by research). Lead the implementation of improvement plans via project management with cross functional team from various departments: safety, purchasing, maintenance, production.
• Supports and communicates the requirements of standardization of asset hierarchies, asset criticality, and PM optimization. Typically done within Equipment Strategy Blitzes (ESBs). Leads processes to improve the structured work identification processes for reliability advancement process. This process can involve the use of Maintenance Task Assessment process and/or use of the Preventative Maintenance module of the Maximo software package. This should also include review of changing operating conditions and optimization of Mean Time Between Failure evaluations.
• Develop systems, formulas, and processes around asset critical inventory strategies including stocking levels, usage rates, internal/external stocking practices, and point of use versus central storeroom locations. Additionally, they would 1. work with EQRB to-be-repaired items to determine failure modes and develop strip reports 2. Evaluate critical spares being receipt into inventory, support/lead RCFAs of asset failures to improve reliability, MTBF, MTTR, and cost, 3. provide a floating option to other reliability engineers inside the plants to support reliability engineering endeavors, 4. support interactively annual outages on large replacements in kind, with a hyperfocus on becoming close with the repair due to being on site during its removal, 5. perform onsite machine shop evaluations of company quality records, and equipment refurbishing.
