Maintenance Reliability Engineer

About the role

The Maintenance Reliability Engineer will lead Reliability‑Centered Maintenance (RCM) studies for critical plant assets, developing and implementing strategies that maximise equipment reliability, availability and performance. You will work closely with operations, maintenance, engineering and reliability teams to drive continuous improvement across large‑scale industrial projects.

Key responsibilities

• Facilitate RCM studies using the full methodology and the seven RCM questions.
• Conduct FMECA, criticality assessments and root‑cause analyses for rotating and static equipment.
• Develop and optimise preventive maintenance (PM) programmes based on reliability metrics such as MTBF and equipment criticality.
• Calculate and interpret reliability indicators (MTBF, MTTR, availability) and set appropriate PM frequencies.
• Create and refine maintenance plans to improve asset reliability while reducing costs.
• Lead cross‑functional workshops and provide technical guidance on RCM principles and best maintenance practices.
• Utilise GE APM Meridium for asset performance management and SAP CMMS for work‑order planning and data analysis.
• Monitor maintenance KPIs and recommend continuous‑improvement initiatives.

Required profile

• Minimum 8 years of maintenance experience, preferably with rotating and static equipment.
• At least 3 years of hands‑on experience applying RCM in line with SAE JA1011/JA1012 standards.
• Proven experience on large‑scale projects in Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Power or Heavy Industries.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving and decision‑making abilities.
