Reliability Coordinator

Position Summary

Reporting to the Maintenance Director, the Reliability Coordinator is responsible for analyzing equipment performance, identifying the root causes of recurring failures, and implementing strategies to improve equipment reliability, availability, and overall operational performance.

Key Responsibilities

Equipment Reliability and Performance Analysis

• Analyze equipment breakdown histories, production downtime, and maintenance activities to identify problematic equipment and recurring failures.
• Conduct root cause analyses (RCA) and recommend sustainable corrective and preventive actions.
• Monitor and analyze reliability indicators, including Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), equipment availability, and unplanned downtime.
• Identify critical equipment based on its impact on safety, production, quality, and operating costs.
• Develop and monitor action plans to reduce equipment failures and improve performance.
• Collaborate with production and maintenance teams to validate identified issues and prioritize improvement initiatives.

Maintenance Strategy Optimization

• Evaluate the effectiveness of preventive maintenance programs and recommend adjustments based on failure history and operating conditions.
• Identify opportunities to develop or improve predictive and condition-based maintenance practices.
• Analyze inspection, lubrication, replacement, and servicing intervals for critical components.
• Recommend technical modifications to improve equipment reliability, safety, and service life.
• Participate in equipment criticality analyses and risk assessments.
• Collaborate with the Maintenance Supervisor-Planner to incorporate approved improvements into maintenance plans and work schedules.
• Participate in equipment reliability assessments during modification, modernization, or acquisition projects.

Continuous Improvement and Operational Collaboration

• Lead or coordinate reliability improvement projects aimed at reducing downtime, production losses, and maintenance costs.
• Participate in maintenance and production performance meetings to present results, recurring issues, and action plans.
• Collaborate with the Spare Parts Coordinator to identify critical components, high-risk spare parts, and standardization opportunities.
• Document analyses, recommendations, and results of improvement projects.

Qualifications and Requirements

• College diploma (DEC) or bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, or Electromechanical Engineering, or other relevant equivalent training.
• Relevant experience in industrial maintenance, equipment reliability, or continuous improvement in a manufacturing environment.
• Good knowledge of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electromechanical equipment.
• Experience in failure analysis, problem-solving, and root cause identification.
• Knowledge of preventive, predictive, and condition-based maintenance strategies.
• Experience with a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS); knowledge of Interal is a significant asset.
• Ability to interpret technical drawings, equipment manuals, maintenance histories, and production data.

Assets

• Experience in a manufacturing environment with extensive use of industrial equipment.
• Knowledge of Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and equipment criticality analysis.
• Experience improving equipment availability and reducing unplanned downtime.
