Are You the Reliability Partner Our Mill Needs?
Can you turn vibration data into clear decisions? Build rock‑solid BOMs? Lead a shutdown plan that runs like clockwork? If so, bring your skill to our 24/7 paper mill and co‑fired boiler operation, where you’ll drive preventive strategies, implement design improvements, and help the Maintenance Manager hit mission‑critical goals.
What You’ll Tackle
- Root Cause Problem Solving (RCPS) to eliminate recurrence and stabilize performance.
- Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to anticipate and prevent breakdowns.
- Create and maintain equipment Bills of Materials (BOMs).
- Manage the rotating equipment reliability program with attention to centrifugal pumps, vibration analysis, mechanical seals, bearings, and lubrication.
- Lead and elevate the site’s lubrication plan.
- Embed Design for Reliability on project teams, guiding choices for new and modified equipment and facilities.
- Provide technical support, team leadership, and project management for installations and modifications that enhance infrastructure, reliability, and uptime.
- Plan, prepare, and execute maintenance during mill/department shutdowns.
- Oversee contractors and their preventive maintenance scope.
- Maintain, expand, and improve the preventive maintenance program.
- Ensure repair and operating practices meet regulatory requirements and uphold the highest standards of safety for the mill and its people.
- Lead repairs or special projects at the Maintenance Manager’s request; assist with additional duties as needed.
What You Bring
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Reliability Engineering.
- At least 3 years as a Reliability Engineer and 5+ years of related technical manufacturing support experience; pulp & paper exposure preferred.
