Job Summary/Objective

This role is critical in driving equipment reliability, managing change processes, and executing capital and improvement projects. The successful candidate will lead root cause analysis (RCA) for equipment failures, champion continuous improvement initiatives, and manage projects using the Front-End Loaded (FEL) process.  

Work Authorization  

This role requires authorization to work in the United States. Sponsorship is not available at this time. 

Key Responsibilities:

• Monitor      and improve the OEE of Plantwide Electrical systems
  • Improve       the onstream factor of electrical industrial manufacturing system       plantwide: sub-stations and power distribution to manufacturing       equipment, starters, VFDs, protection systems, drives/motors, power and       DCS interfacing system, etc.
  • Ensure       systems are performing at their optimum throughput.
  • Guide       the maintenance department on best practices to reduce failures, reduce       total operating cost of equipment, maintenance frequency and how to.
• Root      Cause Analysis (RCA):
  • Lead       investigations into equipment failures and chronic reliability issues.
  • Facilitate       cross-functional RCA sessions and develop actionable recommendations.
  • Track       and report on corrective actions and effectiveness.
• Management      of Change (MoC):
  • Own       and lead or participate in the MoC process for mechanical systems and       equipment modifications.
  • Ensure       compliance with safety, environmental, and operational standards.
  • Collaborate       with operations, maintenance, and engineering teams to assess risks and       impacts.
• Continuous      Improvement:
  • Identify       improvement opportunities, prepare business cases and execute change as       per the FEL process.
  • Utilize       field data collection and analysis to identify failure trends and       reliability opportunities.
  • Develop       and implement strategies to eliminate repeat failures and improve       equipment uptime.
  • Support       reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) and predictive maintenance       programs.
• Project      Management (FEL Process):
  • Lead       mechanical projects from concept through execution using the FEL       methodology.
  • Develop       scopes, budgets, schedules, and risk assessments for capital and       improvement projects.
  • Coordinate       with internal stakeholders and external contractors to ensure successful       project delivery.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):

• RCA      Effectiveness:
  • % of       RCAs completed within target timeframe.
  • % of       corrective actions implemented and verified.
  • Reduction       in repeat failures of critical equipment.
• MoC      Compliance:
  • % of       MoC processes completed on time.
  • Number       of MoC-related incidents or deviations.
  • Audit       compliance score for MoC documentation.
• Reliability      & Uptime:
  • Mean       Time Between Failures (MTBF) for key assets.
  • %       reduction in unplanned downtime.
  • %       improvement in equipment availability.
• Project      Execution:
  • % of       projects delivered on time and within budget.
  • FEL       stage gate compliance rate.
  • Stakeholder       satisfaction score (post-project reviews).
• Continuous      Improvement:
  • Number       of CI initiatives implemented annually.
  • Estimated       cost savings or value creation from CI efforts.
