About the role

The Reliability & Maintenance Engineer is responsible for developing, implementing, and optimizing maintenance and reliability strategies to ensure safe, efficient, and sustainable operation of manufacturing assets in a GMP-regulated facility. This role focuses on equipment performance analysis, preventive and predictive maintenance programs, spare parts criticality assessment, and continuous improvement initiatives. The Engineer collaborates with production, quality, and maintenance teams to minimize downtime, extend asset life, and ensure compliance with regulatory and safety standards.

Your responsibilities

Reliability Engineering

• Analyze equipment performance data to identify trends, failure modes, and root causes.
• Develop and implement reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) strategies to improve mean time between failures (MTBF) and reduce mean time to repair (MTTR).
• Lead or support root cause analysis (RCA) for equipment-related deviations or failures.
• Recommend engineering solutions to enhance equipment reliability and optimize lifecycle costs.

Maintenance Planning & Execution

• Develop, implement, and optimize preventive and predictive maintenance (PM/PdM) strategies for OSD equipment, including granulators, fluid bed dryers, tablet presses, coaters, dust collection systems, and packaging lines.
• Develop detailed job plans including material lists, labor estimates, and safety requirements.
• Coordinate with maintenance staff and contractors to ensure timely execution of planned work.
• Track and report maintenance KPIs such as uptime, backlog, and work order completion rates.

Spare Parts Criticality & Inventory Management

• Conduct spare parts criticality assessments to determine which components are essential for equipment reliability and production continuity.
• Classify spares into categories (critical, essential, non-critical) based on risk, lead time, and equipment impact.
• Collaborate with storeroom and procurement teams to ensure availability of critical spares while optimizing inventory costs.
• Evaluate repair vs. replacement decisions to balance reliability and cost-effectiveness.
• Support kitting and staging of materials for planned jobs, prioritizing critical spares.
• Ensure accuracy of asset hierarchies, BOMs, spare parts lists, and maintenance task plans

Compliance & Safety

• Ensure all maintenance and engineering activities comply with OSHA, GMP, and company safety standards.
• Partner with Quality Assurance to support audits, deviations, CAPAs, and change controls.
• Participate in risk assessments, LOTO procedures, and confined space protocols.

Continuous Improvement

• Identify opportunities to eliminate delays and improve maintenance efficiency.
• Integrate predictive maintenance technologies (condition monitoring, vibration analysis, thermography).
• Drive initiatives aligned with site goals such as OEE improvement and proactive maintenance models.
• Support capital projects and equipment upgrades to enhance reliability.
• Partner with Engineering on equipment upgrades, replacements, FAT/SAT, commissioning, and qualification.
