Senior Reliability Engineering Manager

Mural Group•Bridgeville, PA

17h•$120,000 - $140,000•Onsite

About The Position

We are seeking a senior-level Reliability Engineering leader to drive the rollout of a company-wide Asset Reliability Management Program (ARMP) across four heavy industrial manufacturing facilities. This is a corporate leadership role, not a plant-based maintenance position. You will not be turning wrenches day-to-day. Instead, you will design reliability strategy, standardize preventive maintenance practices, lead cross-site reliability initiatives, and build a high-performing maintenance culture across legacy manufacturing environments. This role is ideal for an experienced reliability or maintenance engineering leader who has worked in steel mills, specialty metals manufacturing, or legacy heavy industrial plants and understands how to modernize maintenance programs on older equipment and infrastructure.

Requirements

Experience in steel mills, specialty metals production, metal manufacturing, or heavy industrial plants with legacy equipment
Familiarity with melt shops, blast furnaces, electric arc furnaces (EAF), forging, rolling mills, or similar equipment environments
Experience modernizing maintenance practices in older, capital-intensive manufacturing facilities
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related discipline
5+ years of experience in reliability engineering, maintenance engineering, or industrial operations leadership
Demonstrated experience implementing Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) or similar reliability frameworks
Strong understanding of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems
Experience working with CMMS platforms (IBM Maximo strongly preferred)
Proven ability to lead multi-site initiatives without direct day-to-day authority over plant teams
Comfortable driving change in established, legacy manufacturing environments
Strong communicator who can influence plant leadership, engineers, and maintenance teams
Strategic thinker who can build systems, processes, and culture—not just fix equipment

Responsibilities

Lead the implementation of a corporate Asset Reliability Management Program (ARMP) across multiple manufacturing sites
Define and standardize preventive maintenance, outage planning, RCA, and autonomous maintenance practices
Establish reliability KPIs and governance across plants
Partner with plant leadership to drive culture change around reliability, uptime, and maintenance excellence
Lead and mentor 3 site-based Preventive Maintenance Engineers and influence a broader ~50-person maintenance and reliability organization
Act as a peer to Project Engineers and plant engineering leaders
Travel approximately one day per week to support site teams, review reliability programs, and ensure consistency of execution
Build and track maintenance and reliability KPIs
Identify performance gaps across plants and replicate best practices
Develop and maintain corporate maintenance and reliability standards
Drive cross-site improvement initiatives focused on uptime, safety, and equipment performance
Partner closely with CMMS leadership to ensure PM compliance, data integrity, and actionable reporting
Support continuous improvement of maintenance planning, scheduling, and execution workflows
