• Identify and evaluate new and existing reliability related technologies for applicability and benefit or value to the generation fleet. Put together business cases for the technologies that meet benefit or value criteria.
• Identify and evaluate asset upgrades or improvements related to reliability improvements. Put together business cases for the upgrades or improvements that meet benefit or value criteria.
• Apply failure mode and effects criticality analysis to develop maintenance strategies for assets based on failure history and/or asset criticality.
• Apply Reliability Engineering analysis techniques (Reliability Modeling and Prediction, Fault Tree Analysis, Weibull Analysis, etc.) to solve reliability issues.
• Review, evaluate and optimize existing maintenance strategies based on asset failures.
• Initiate, facilitate and/or participate in Root Cause Failure Analysis. Manage and/or complete reliability related RCFA corrective actions.
• Develop analysis methods for determining reliability of assets to support continuous improvements.
• Create and maintain Reliability Engineering and Maintenance Strategy, including Condition Monitoring, standards, procedures, instructions, etc.
• Calculate, review, evaluate and communicate Reliability Key Performance Indicators and where necessary, initiate corrective action plans.
• Provides technical support to production, maintenance management and technical personnel.
• Applies value analysis to repair/replace, repair/redesign, and make/buy decisions.
• Provides technical expertise in the evaluation of asset condition, performance and maintenance requirements.
• Manages budgets, schedules, and resources for small to medium sized projects.
• Reviews and critiques proposed changes to engineering standards, policies and guidelines.
• Review development plans for compliance with adopted engineering standards and good engineering practices.
• Conducts surveys to gather field data.
• Prepare and interpret schematics, drawings, layouts and other visual aids.
• Prepares engineering analysis for small/routine projects to include: preliminary design, calculation, life cycle cost and equipment selection.
• Assists upper level engineers as directed while developing specialized engineering skills.
• Supports company safety programs and initiatives by following all EHS and Operating procedures and adhering to established design standards.
