Job description
The Reliability Engineer – High Voltage is responsible for driving asset reliability performance and ensuring high reliability of plant and associated high voltage equipment within an integrated steel plant or equivalent heavy industry environment. The role focuses on continuous improvement of asset performance across the full equipment lifecycle by developing and implementing cost-effective maintenance and reliability strategies. The engineer leads Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA), Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), and FMECA initiatives, analyzes equipment history and condition monitoring data, and identifies improvement opportunities to enhance MTBF, reduce MTTR, minimize unplanned downtime, and optimize maintenance costs. The position actively supports shutdowns, breakdowns, and capital projects by embedding reliability into asset design and ensuring operational readiness at commissioning. The role also includes optimizing critical spare parts, maintaining failure databases, supporting 10-year capital planning, and driving reliability KPIs while ensuring compliance with health and safety standards.
