Reliability Expert

How will you CONTRIBUTE and GROW?

As our Reliability Expert, you will be the essential driver of Operational Excellence for our Primary Production, Bulk, and Onsites activities across the dynamic Africa, Middle East & India cluster. You will apply your deep reliability expertise to support site performance and will be directly responsible for driving key Reliability programs, including the implementation of effective "close the loop" methodologies. Success in this role hinges on your ability to collaborate seamlessly with Facility Managers, site-based teams, and fellow experts across Maintenance, Asset, and Technology within Cluster Operations to ensure optimal reliability and continuous improvement.Asset Performance Management:

Develop and implement Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) strategies, Preventive Maintenance (PM) optimization, and Predictive Maintenance (PdM) techniques.

Manage and improve the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) for critical assets.

Oversee the Asset Criticality Analysis to focus resources on the most important equipment.

Failure Analysis & Mitigation:

Lead and facilitate Root Cause Analysis (RCA) investigations for significant equipment failures to identify and eliminate systemic issues.

Set and Report smart reliability key performance indicators with Industrial performance monitoring team

Implement Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) during design and operational phases.

Capitalize on events to feed the reliability flash process and close the loop

Conduct regular RCA audits, capitalize with sharing improvement opportunities with entities

Track RCA actions and follow up on status and closure, facilitate follow up to accelerate compliance

Capital Project Support:

Participate in the design and commissioning of new equipment and systems to ensure maintainability and reliability are built-in (e.g., specifying reliable components, conducting Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analysis).

Ensure adherence to reliability standards, codes, and best practices.

Continuous Improvement:

Provide technical support to maintenance and operations teams on reliability issues.

Conduct Bad Actor program analysis and develop corrective action plans.

Create Reliability Posters and communicate with all entities for Reliability or programs awareness
