Job Description
The J.R. Simplot Company is a diverse privately held global food and agriculture company headquartered in Boise Idaho. We are a true farmtotable company with an integrated portfolio including food processing and food brands phosphate mining fertilizer manufacturing farming ranching and cattle production and other enterprises related to agriculture.
Summary
The primary role of the Reliability Engineer is to identify and manage asset reliability risks that could adversely affect plant or business operations. This broad primary role can be divided into three smaller more manageable roles: Loss Elimination Risk Management and Life Cycle Asset Management (LCAM).
Loss Elimination:
One of the fundamental roles of the Reliability Engineer is to track the production losses and abnormally high maintenance cost assets then find ways to reduce those losses or high costs. These losses are prioritized to focus efforts on the largest/most critical opportunities. The Reliability Engineer (in full partnership with the operations team) develops a plan to eliminate or reduce the losses through root cause analysis obtains approval of the plan and facilitates the implementation.
Risk Management:
Another role of the Reliability Engineer is to manage risk to the achievement of an organizations strategic objectives in the areas of environmental health and safety asset capability quality and production. Some tools used by a Reliability Engineer to identify and reduce risk include:
- PHA Preliminary hazards analysis
- FMEA Failure modes and effects analysis
- CA Criticality analysis
- SFMEA Simplified failure modes and effects analysis
- MI Maintainability information
- FTA Fault tree analysis
- ETA Event tree analysis
Life Cycle Asset Management:
Studies show that as much as 95 of the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) or Life Cycle Cost (LCC) of an asset is determined before it is put into use. This reveals the need for the Reliability Engineer to be involved in the design and installation stages of projects for new assets and modification of existing assets.
Key Responsibilities
- Works with Project Engineering to ensure the reliability and maintainability of new andmodified installations. The Reliability Engineer is responsible for adhering to the Life CycleAsset Management (LCAM) process throughout the entire life cycle of new assets.
- Participates in the development of design and installation specifications along withcommissioning plans. Participates in the development of criteria for and evaluation ofequipment and technical MRO suppliers and technical maintenance service providers.Develops acceptance tests and inspection criteria.
- Participates in the final check out of new installations. This includes factory and siteacceptance testing that will assure adherence to functional specifications.
- Guides efforts to ensure reliability and maintainability of equipment processes utilitiesfacilities controls and safety/security systems.
- Professionally and systematically defines designs develops monitors and refines an AssetMaintenance Plan that includes: Valueadded preventive maintenance tasks and effectiveutilization of predictive and other nondestructive testing methodologies designed to identifyand isolate inherent reliability problems.
- Develops engineering solutions to repetitive failures and all other problems that adverselyaffect plant operations. These problems include capacity quality cost or regulatorycompliance issues. To fulfill this responsibility the Reliability Engineer applies data analysis
- techniques that can include: Statistical Process Control; Reliability modeling and prediction;Fault Tree Analysis; Weibull Tree Analysis; Six Sigma Methodology; Rootcause and Root CauseFailure Analysis (RCA RCFA); Failure Reporting Analysis and Corrective ActionSystem (FRACAS).
- Works with Production to perform analyses of assets including: Asset Utilization; OverallEquipment Effectiveness; Remaining useful life; Other parameters that define operatingcondition reliability and costs of assets.
- Applies value analysis to repair/replace repair/redesign and make/buy decisions.
- Acts as a technical resource for troubleshooting plant equipment and suggested repairs
- Leads root cause analysis and recommend solutions to resolve repeat equipment failures
Typical Education
- Bachelors Degree (B.A. or B.S. from 4 year college or university
Relevant Experience
- 3 years related experience and/or training
- CMRP CRE or CRLCertification is preferred
- Experience in developing and maintaining a Reliability Centered Maintenance Plan for critical environment such as manufacturing.
- Experience with predictive maintenance technologies rotating equipment and/or fixed equipment is preferred.
- Requires project management experience to manage multiple ongoing projects within multiple work streams.
