Reliability Engineer

Reliability Engineers work in various industries such as manufacturing, oil and gas, and transportation.

Their primary role is to ensure that the products, equipment, and systems of a company work consistently and correctly.

They are tasked with the duty of ensuring the reliability and maintainability of equipment, processes, utilities, facilities, controls, and safety/security systems.

This involves identifying and managing asset reliability risks that could adversely affect plant or business operations.

Reliability Engineers lead and coordinate failure investigations and root cause analysis and then implement corrective measures to prevent future occurrences.

They apply value analysis to repair/replace, repair/redesign, and make/buy decisions.

They also work closely with other engineers and professionals to improve production methods and establish what could potentially go wrong with the product or equipment.

Reliability Engineers are also responsible for developing reliability standards, policies, and procedures, and they often use software and data analysis tools to predict, identify, and correct potential issues.

In addition, they may design and implement maintenance strategies, procedures, and methods, while also carrying out routine maintenance work and responding to equipment faults.

Overall, they play an essential role in maintaining the continuous operation and efficiency of a business’s equipment and systems.
