As Senior Manager – Reliability Engineering, you will lead the teams, methods, and programs responsible for improving the availability, maintainability, and lifecycle performance of mission-critical facilities infrastructure across OCI’s data center portfolio. This role sets the direction for reliability engineering practices across electrical, mechanical, and controls domains, with a strong focus on analytics, predictive maintenance, risk reduction, and standardized reliability methods.
You will lead engineers and analysts who partner closely with site operations, design, construction, commissioning, and automation teams to identify reliability risks, improve maintenance strategies, strengthen incident learning, and ensure corrective actions are implemented and sustained. This role translates operational data and engineering analysis into portfolio-level standards, priorities, and decisions that protect uptime and support long-term capacity growth.
Key Responsibilities
Lead reliability engineering and analytics teams supporting multiple sites, regions, or infrastructure programs across mission-critical facilities environments.
Define and standardize reliability engineering methods, including FMEA, RCA, RCM, critical assessment, defect elimination, and continuous improvement practices.
Establish reliability programs for electrical, mechanical, and controls systems that improve asset health, reduce repeat failures, and strengthen operational resilience.
Oversee deployment and effective use of monitoring, alarming, analytics, and automation tools that support predictive maintenance, asset performance visibility, and reliability decision-making.
Define, track, and report portfolio reliability of KPIs, trends, risks, and corrective action status to executive leadership and global operations stakeholders.
Ensure corrective actions from incidents, failure analyses, audits, and trend reviews are implemented, verified for effectiveness, and sustained over time.
Partner with site operations teams to improve maintenance programs, troubleshooting rigor, failure response, operational readiness, and procedure quality.
Guide reliability input into commissioning, acceptance testing, operational handover, major maintenance, retrofits, and equipment lifecycle planning.
Drive structured analysis of asset utilization, failure history, equipment health, remaining useful life, spare parts strategy, and end-of-life risk.
Partner with design, construction, and procurement teams to improve reliability, maintainability, standardization, and total cost of ownership in new and existing infrastructure.
