The primary role of the Reliability Engineer is to improve asset availability. The Reliability Engineer will utilize equipment history, root cause analysis, and statistical methods to drive out repetitive equipment failures. The Reliability Engineer also develops the equipment asset management plan, maintenance documentation, and plans for new/existing equipment. Can execute these tasks with minimal guidance from direct supervisor. Can train other reliability engineers.
