Reliability Engineer at Owens Corning

Job description

PURPOSE OF THE JOB The primary role of the Reliability Engineer (RE) is to apply engineering practices to drive out sources of repetitive failure in equipment and processes. The RE will identify and manage asset reliability risks that could adversely affect plant or business operations. The RE is involved in Early Management (EM) for design and installation stages of Capital projects for new assets and modification of existing assets. The RE conducts and develops various analytical methods for determining reliability of components, equipment, and processes. The RE will be involved in the implementation of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) Planned Maintenance (PM) Pillar programs. This role acquires process and equipment data, provides analysis of the data to include preparation of charts, diagrams, drawings, calculations, and reports which define reliability problems and makes recommendations for improvements. The level of reliability required for a particular asset will consider the criticality ranking, the economic limitations for equipment up/down time, repair/replacement costs, availability of materials/equipment, etc. The RE will be accountable for eliminating unplanned equipment downtime and reducing the total life cycle cost of the assets. Reports to : Joplin Maintenance Leader . Span of Control : The RE is required to engage with maintenance, operations, and technical teams quickly, to achieve breakthrough results in a workforce of approximately 150.
