What you’ll be doing
As a Reliability Improvement Engineer you will lead the site equipment reliability improvement strategy by identifying and managing current and future asset reliability risks, developing improvement plans, and driving the completion of maintenance activities.
* Manage the equipment criticality assessment of the asset footprint in terms of business risk (HSE, food safety, productivity loss etc.) to prioritise areas for improvement.
* Provide data analysis for repetitive failures and other problems that adversely affect plant operations to inform the development of structured, visible corrective action plans.
* Facilitate reliability workshops to define/review the preventive maintenance (PM) plan systematically and periodically for all assets, ensuring colleagues understand PM plans and SOPs.
* Analyse the life‑cycle cost of maintaining the asset portfolio versus the cost of repair and create an appropriate plan to prioritise efforts.

* Develop detailed criticality analysis on spares, forecast spare requirements and adapt stock levels to optimise the balance between MTTR and spare part cost.
* Act as a guide and trainer to other maintenance team members to support the uptake and adoption of CMMS across the facility.
* Ensure effective utilisation of predictive/condition‑based methodologies designed to identify and isolate inherent reliability problems.
What we’re looking for
* Knowledge and experience of full asset care strategies and processes (maintenance workflow, reliability, failure reduction, FMEA, TPM, etc.) and ability to define strategy based on business needs.
* Experience and knowledge of reliability performance indicators, OEE, MTBF, MTTR, failure rates, etc.
* Experience in a manufacturing excellence environment, preferably FMCG.
* Strong problem‑solving skills with the ability to think through problems, undertake appropriate analysis and take effective actions in relation to safety and reliability.
* Staying up‑to‑speed with industry advances in reliability tools and techniques.
* Experience mentoring junior team members and influencing the link between reliability and business performance across the organisation.
* Proficiency in using Excel for analysis and tool development.
* Working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
* Experience defining and deploying CMMS across multiple sites.
