(Hybrid-Remote - Any Location - USA) - Regional Electrical Reliability Engineer
About this Role and About You
The Electrical Reliability Engineer establishes and maintains standards of Best Practice for manufacturing
site maintenance functions across North American operations. Best Practice standards reflect corporate
objectives, Responsible Care principles, and Electrical Integrity requirements. Establishes and leads execution
of standard procedures for evaluating operational reliability and identification of root cause failure
analysis. Defines and implements corrective actions. Drives short- and long-range sustenance capital
planning processes. Participates in project scope and design efforts to assure optimization of reliability for new
processes.
Responsibilities:
Develops and implements Electrical integrity programs that will become the standard for all production
facilities, including but not limited to switchgear, motor control centers, motor starters, motors, PLCs,
and instrumentation associated with pressure vessels, piping, tanks, boilers, heaters, and rotating
equipment.
Reviews and updates maintenance practices and procedures, including predictive and preventive
maintenance programs, Total Productive Maintenance Planning and Scheduling and communicates
these requirements clearly, to all sites. Supports sites in their efforts to attain best practice capability
in their maintenance functions.
Audits maintenance functions at all sites vs. best practice standard. Prepares, distributes, and
analyzes audit results. Supports Plant Turn Around/Inspections/Electrical Studies, and
Consults/Manages projects individually and/or as part of a project team. Prioritizes opportunities
identified and leads efforts to capitalize on those opportunities. Takes corrective action as necessary to
ensure adoption of corporate standard practices.
Establishes standards for measuring and reporting operational reliability as a reflection of maintenance
function effectiveness. Identifies and addresses areas for opportunity.
Periodically reviews site operations/equipment and produces a reliability risk assessment. Utilizes risk
management to produce short- and long-range capital plans. Acts as primary coordinator for capital
planning program(s).
Participates in capital project design and execution as appropriate to ensure consistency of new
installations with Industrial standards (IEEE, ISA, NFPA, CSA) and company maintenance standards
and practices. Assures respective maintenance departments are ready and capable to maintain new
installations.
Drives short- and long-range sustenance capital planning processes. Participates in project scope and
design efforts to assure optimization of reliability for new processes and adherence to industry
standards.
Participates on special project teams. Attends personal development training.
Coach managers, supervisors, and employees in maintenance best practices. Promotes cross-site
cooperation and teamwork. Analyzes technical maintenance capabilities at each site and supports
management in efforts to close gaps. Trains electrical personnel to ensure safety standards are
maintained, to meet OSHA requirements, and to stay current with code changes.
Qualifications:
Minimum bachelors degree in electrical engineering/technical discipline.
Experience with electrical integrity, predictive maintenance, preventive maintenance, and project C
maintenance management in chemical process manufacturing plants.
Ability to effectively work in a remote environment.
Knowledge of electrical codes and standards (IEEE, ISA, NFPA, CSA).
Experience designing, maintaining, and working with 480VAC electrical systems.
Experience designing, maintaining, and working with 24VDC electrical systems and instrumentation.
Experience designing, maintaining, and working with process instrumentation such as flowmeters, level
transmitters, temperature transmitters, and weighing systems.
