Reliability Supervisor

POSITION SUMMARY

The Reliability Supervisor will provide engineering support and technical expertise for the site rotating equipment reliability program. The incumbent will evaluate equipment reliability using engineering methods, failure history, asset criticality, predictive maintenance data, and field observations. This position will help improve the plant's PM program, equipment strategies, work instructions, repair practices, equipment data quality, and work management system.

The incumbent will support projects and modifications that improve rotating equipment reliability, availability, efficiency, safety, environmental compliance, and maintenance cost performance. They will work with Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, Planning, Safety, Environmental, Purchasing, outside consultants, repair shops, and vendors. The incumbent will provide technical guidance to engineers, technicians, planners, and field personnel.

EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS

• Rotating equipment reliability experience desired
• Knowledge of pumps, compressors, fans, blowers, gearboxes, drivers, mechanical seals, lubrication systems, and auxiliary systems
• Knowledge of rotating equipment repair, installation, alignment, startup, and troubleshooting practices
• Experience with failure analysis, RCFA, bad actor elimination, and corrective action development
• Experience with PM optimization, equipment strategies, predictive maintenance, and condition monitoring preferred
• Experience with capital and operating cost estimating and economic analysis preferred
• Specific experience with API, ASME, Hydraulic Institute, ISO, and other applicable rotating equipment standards preferred
• Experience with PI System, PI Vision, Mobile Operator, or reliability dashboards preferred

MAJOR ACCOUNTABILITIES

• Oversee the site predictive maintenance program for rotating equipment, including vibration monitoring, lubrication analysis, operator rounds, wireless monitoring, and other condition-based monitoring activities
• Review predictive maintenance findings and coordinate follow-up actions with Maintenance, Operations, Planning, and Reliability
• Maintain rotating equipment KPIs and reliability dashboards, including MTBR, repeat failures, major repairs, bad actors, PM compliance, PdM compliance, vibration exceptions, and corrective action closure
• Monitor MTBR and other reliability performance indicators to identify declining equipment performance and recurring failure patterns
• Review rotating equipment failures and support failure classification, RCFA, corrective action development, and action tracking
• Oversee preventive maintenance requirements for rotating equipment, including PM task content, frequency, job plan quality, and alignment with equipment criticality and failure modes
• Recommend PM changes based on failure history, predictive maintenance results, asset criticality, repair history, and operating experience
• Support the pump reliability program by tracking major repairs, repeat failures, spare utilization, repair quality, and post-repair performance
• Identify rotating equipment bad actors and develop reliability improvement recommendations to reduce failures, downtime, and maintenance cost
• Provide technical support to Operations and Maintenance for troubleshooting, repair decisions, startup concerns, lubrication issues, seal failures, vibration issues, and abnormal equipment performance
• Support Maximo data quality improvements, including asset hierarchy, failure codes, PMs, job plans, repair history, BOMs, and equipment attributes
• Support PI Vision, Mobile Operator, Maximo, and other reliability tools used to track equipment condition, runtime, PM effectiveness, and spare equipment utilization
• Develop equipment strategies for critical rotating equipment based on asset criticality, known failure modes, operating context, and reliability risk
• Coordinate reliability improvement activities with Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, Planning, Safety, Environmental, Purchasing, vendors, repair shops, and contract engineering services
• Provide technical guidance to engineers, technicians, planners, and field personnel on rotating equipment reliability practices
• Ability to adjust schedules to support critical equipment issues, turnarounds, startups, and business needs
• Exposure to work near potentially volatile and combustible materials and chemicals.

EXPECTED RESULTS

• Improved rotating equipment reliability, availability, and maintainability
• Reduced repeat failures, major repairs, bad actors, and reliability-driven downtime
• Improved pump reliability performance and increased MTBR
• Improved PM, PdM, equipment strategy, repair quality, and startup effectiveness
• Improved Maximo equipment data, work history, BOMs, and documentation quality
• Effective technical communication and reliability leadership
• Reliability improvement projects and recommendations executed within required timelines and budgets
• Embrace positive change, promote safety, drive inclusive behaviors, and support sustainable reliability
• Adherence to all company policies and procedures
