Reliability Improvement Engineer in Leeds, West Yorkshire

What you’ll be doing

• Manage the equipment criticality assessment of the asset footprint in terms of business risk (HSE, food safety, productivity loss, etc.) to prioritise areas for improvement.
• Provide data analysis for repetitive failures and other problems that adversely affect plant operations to inform the development of structured, visible corrective action plans.
• Facilitate reliability workshops to define and review the preventive maintenance (PM) plan systematically and periodically for all assets.
