• Validate findings with technicians, operations, and leadership.
• Ensure data updates flow into the CMMS and the Asset Health Register.
• Support crew level problem solving and own action items.
• FMEA and Maintenance Strategy Development
• Lead FMEA sessions and document failure modes, effects, controls, and risk priority numbers (RPNs).
• Perform structured risk assessments and prioritize actions based on RPN and criticality.
• Determine detectability methods (PdM/CBM, inspections, instrumentation) to eliminate or mitigate failures.
• Translate findings into updates to PM tasks, CBM setpoints, job plans, and strategies.
• Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) and PM Optimization
• Lead PM optimization cycles using FMEA, preventive task review, downtime data, and field feedback.
• Ensure PM effectiveness by validating task value, frequency, inspection method, and labor requirements.
• Administer and continuously improve the PM/PdM program and master calendar.
• Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Defect Elimination
• Lead RCAs for major events, repeat failures, and emerging chronic issues.
• Develop engineered solutions, validate results, and ensure actions are implemented and closed.
• Document standard corrective actions and support development of SOPs and diagnostic guides.
• Predictive Maintenance (PdM) and Condition-Based Monitoring (CBM)
• Oversee PdM/CBM technology implementation and data review of (vibration, thermography, oil analysis, CBM sensors).

• leverage CMMS system for data storage, trending, of PdM activity results.
• CMMS Data, Asset Health and Master Data Governance
• Ensure accuracy of asset hierarchy, equipment records, and reliability‑ related master data.
• Maintain Asset Health Register with updated findings, PM changes, RCA outcomes, and risk scores.
• Provide reliability KPIs, dashboards, and communication on leading/lagging indicators.
• Outage, Shutdown, and Capital Support
• Provide engineering input to outage planning, scope development, and sequencing.
• Participate in pre‑ outage events to validate scope and identify risks.
• Serve as reliability representative during new equipment design, installation, and commissioning.
• Ensure life‑ cycle cost, maintainability, and reliability design principles are included in new projects.
