• Investigate repetitive equipment failures and drive sustainable solutions that protect production output, quality, and compliance
• Provide hands-on technical support during both routine and urgent equipment issues
• Build and deliver training programs that strengthen the Maintenance team's skills and capabilities

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, or Industrial preferred)
• 2-4 years of experience in a Reliability Engineering or Reliability Specialist role
• Prior experience in a maintenance role - Manager, Supervisor, or Technician - strongly preferred

Skills & Abilities

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills applied to complex equipment and process challenges
