Reliability & Maintenance Mechanical Lead - Insulation

Waxahachie, TX, US, 75165

PURPOSE OF THE JOB

The primary role of the Reliability/Maintenance lead is to utilize engineering practices to drive out sources of repetitive failure and losses in equipment and processes. This role will be deeply involved in the implementation of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), and specifically the Planned Maintenance (PM) Pillar. As a part of the PM Pillar, the Reliability/Maintenance Lead will identify and manage asset reliability risks that could adversely affect plant or business operations. In addition, this position engages in the Early Management (EM) for design and installation stages of Capital projects for new assets and modification of existing assets and conducts and develops various analytical methods for determining reliability of components, equipment, and processes as well as management of risk and machine heath using assessments and historical data. As the Reliablity lead this role will drive best practices for precision maintenance and equipment installation as well as verification of project quality assuring installation as designed, and functions as expected using maintenance prevention methodology as well as supporting maintenance deliverables.

This role acquires process and equipment data, provides analysis of the data to include preparation of charts, diagrams, drawings, calculations, and reports which define reliability losses and implement solutions in the ISB/NA insulation facilities. The role requires SME level knowledge for mechanical systems including Ovens, Forming, Batch, Water systems and other major mechanical for insulation process equipment. The level of reliability required for an asset will consider the criticality ranking, the economic limitations for equipment up/down time, repair/replacement costs, availability of materials/equipment, etc. The Reliablity/Maintenance lead, with clear external perspective of our customer's demands, will develop plans to reduce or eliminate escalations and abnormally high maintenance cost assets, and executes or follows the execution of that plan intended to drive improved performance and or major failures. This role, working with our plant maintenance and capital partners, must be capable of supporting major failures with field expertise to support facilities to safely recover from unplanned outages.
