Reliability Maintenance Engineer leading predictive maintenance strategies and root cause analyses for equipment reliability at Domtar's mill. Focus on improving equipment availability and reducing total cost of ownership.
Responsibilities
Reporting to the Mechanical Maintenance Superintendent, the Reliability Maintenance Engineer is the technical authority for equipment reliability across the mill, leading the development and execution of reliability-centered maintenance strategies that shift the organization from reactive to proactive asset management.
The Reliability Maintenance Engineer owns the predictive maintenance program, leads root cause failure analysis, develops condition monitoring strategies for critical assets, and provides the data-driven insights that guide maintenance investment decisions.
The successful candidate will work at the intersection of engineering analysis, field-level diagnostics, and maintenance planning to drive measurable improvements in equipment availability and total cost of ownership.
Requirements
Predictive maintenance program ownership: Develop, implement, and continuously improve condition monitoring programs including vibration analysis, oil analysis, infrared thermography, ultrasound, and motor current analysis across all critical and semi-critical rotating and electrical equipment.
Preventive maintenance optimization: Analyze equipment failure data, PM task effectiveness, and condition monitoring trends to optimize PM intervals and task content.
Technology evaluation and integration: Assess emerging reliability technologies and recommend adoption where cost-benefit analysis supports implementation.
Lead pilot programs for new condition monitoring tools and techniques.
Establish and maintain equipment condition baselines for A-critical and B-critical assets, with defined alarm and action thresholds for all monitored parameters.
Develop and maintain PdM route schedules, ensuring coverage aligns with asset criticality rankings.
Root Cause Problem Elimination (RCPE): Lead formal root cause failure analysis investigations for significant equipment failures, chronic repeaters, and production loss events.
Facilitate cross-functional investigation teams and drive corrective actions to completion.
Failure data analysis: Analyze equipment failure history, maintenance cost trends, and production delay data to identify patterns, prioritize improvement initiatives, and quantify the business case for reliability investments.
Develop and maintain a loss elimination tracking system that connects failure events to corrective actions, completion status, and validated results.
Provide technical input to Loss of Production Reports (LOPRs) as required.
Equipment criticality assessments: Lead or participate in asset criticality ranking exercises to ensure maintenance resources are allocated proportionally to equipment importance.
Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM): Apply RCM methodology to develop and refine maintenance strategies for critical equipment, ensuring the right balance of preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance tasks.
Precision maintenance standards: Champion precision maintenance practices including shaft alignment, balancing, bearing installation, lubrication management, and fastener torque specifications.
Audit compliance and coach trades on precision standards.
Evaluate repair vs. replace vs. upgrade options for aging or underperforming assets, providing engineering analysis and lifecycle cost comparisons to support capital and major maintenance decisions.
Provide engineering support for equipment failures and operational events.
