About the role
Job-ID32913025Reference26-01564 Roles & Responsibilities: RCM Analysis Leadership: Independently lead end-to-end Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) studies on rotating, static, electrical and instrumentation assets - from system boundary definition through Failure Mode & Effects Analysis (FMEA), criticality ranking, and maintenance task selection. Facilitate and/or perform RCM analysis workshops with client SMEs, Operations and Maintenance stakeholders. Conduct Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) and bad-actor identification to support defect elimination and reliability improvement initiatives. ReliaSoft Application & Reliability Modeling: Hands-on use of ReliaSoft suite (Weibull++, BlockSim, XFMEA/RCM++) for failure data analysis, life-data (Weibull) modeling, reliability block diagrams, and RCM/FMEA documentation. Build and maintain failure mode libraries and reliability statistics (MTBF, MTTR, hazard rates) to support proactive maintenance strategy development. Run reliability simulations to validate proposed maintenance task frequency and effectiveness, and to quantify risk/cost trade-offs. RCM-to-EAM/SAP Integration: Translate RCM/FMEA outputs into revised maintenance strategies, PM task lists, maintenance items and plans, and load/update them into SAP PM (or equivalent EAM/CMMS such as Maximo). Ensure alignment between ReliaSoft-derived strategies and SAP equipment hierarchy, Functional Location/Technical Object structures, and master data standards. Partner with Master Data/CMMS teams to verify that recommended task intervals, spares linkages, and job plans are correctly reflected and actioned in the client's enterprise system. Detailed Technical Execution (Individual Contributor): Own the detailed, hands-on analytical work-product under the direction of the client's program managers - this is an execution-focused role, not a people-management role. Prepare high-quality, audit-ready deliverables: RCM registers, FMEA worksheets, criticality assessments, maintenance strategy documents, and gap-analysis reports. Manage own workload and timelines across multiple equipment groups/assets in parallel, escalating risks or resourcing gaps promptly. Stakeholder Collaboration & Reporting: Work closely with client reliability/maintenance managers, operations, and engineering disciplines to validate assumptions, findings and recommendations. Present analysis outcomes and improvement recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Support knowledge transfer and coaching of client/LTTS junior engineers on RCM methodology and ReliaSoft tool usage, where required. External Skills and Expertise: Reliability Engineer - RCM & Asset Data Integration (Refinery Reliability Program).
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
