About the job Mechanical Reliability Engineer

Position Summary

Lead proactive mechanical reliability engineering across commissioning, start-up, and steady-state operations.

Ensure long-term integrity and performance of rotating and static equipment in corrosive chemical environments.

Drive structured reliability processes aligned with ISO 55001, RCM, RBI, and defect elimination methodologies.

Core Responsibilities

• Participate in commissioning walkdowns and establish reliability baselines prior to handover.
• Lead Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) and bad actor elimination programs.
• Develop and implement preventive and predictive maintenance strategies.
• Support shutdown planning and reliability risk mitigation.

Risk Assessment (R/A) & Baseline Establishment

• Lead structured Risk Assessments (R/A) for critical assets and systems.
• Establish reliability baselines (condition monitoring, inspection data, performance history).
• Develop and maintain risk registers aligned to asset criticality.
• Ensure mitigation actions are embedded into maintenance plans and shutdown scopes.

SOP Governance & Standards

• Review existing SOPs and convert to client format.
• Establish and maintain an SOP tracking register (ownership, revision control, approval status).
• Draft new SOPs aligned to current operating configuration and risk profile.
• Ensure integration of LOTO, statutory, and safety requirements into SOP framework.

Plant & Equipment Experience Requirements

• Demonstrated site-based plant experience in heavy industrial environments.
• Strong understanding of plant process flows and engineering interfaces.
• Experience with Heavy Mining Equipment (HME) and large industrial assets.
• Exposure to commissioning, ramp-up, and steady-state reliability management.
